Vicki57,
If I were Mike Freer I'd hire the good professor and get him to train up the young whippersnappers who wrote the Council briefing.
His report is intelligent, well put together and coherent. It doesn't have the feel of a scheme conceived over one too many bottle of Bollinger after a heavy night in Boston.
You're right, Rog. I enjoyed your latest post on Freer, BT et al. But enough of this mutual back-slapping - I have a leaflet to write! I hope you can make it on Wednesday night. Fingers crossed it isn't raining: it's a big ask getting people out on a freezing night in December: hmm, wonder whether Freer et al were counting on that? They are wily, these politicians.
