‘modest’ 20p car park increase, service cuts and empty playgrounds

In his weekly rant the council leader has labelled his 20p rise in car parking charges as ‘modest’.  On which scale of economics a 25% increase can be described as honest I am unsure but clearly it is the economic model that is being used by the Labour group in the run up to the [...]

Non-Christian Christmas Lights

I have been into town today and noticed that by the George Eliot statue the council’s so called Christmas illuminations have started to be put up.

I on the other hand, and other cynics like me, recognise that the monstrous cost of the University hospital in Coventry has to be justified somehow and centralizing services from other health providers [...]

They fought their war and some still cannot get away from it today. From conflicts as distant in time as the World Wars and the Falklands through to Iraq and [...]

For those of you who already know from either the main British National Party website or from me on FaceBook there is nothing new here. For those of you who are not aware I am currently being discriminated against by the Citizens Advice Bureau who to be honest were the last people in the world [...]

Riversley Park – New playground
