Friday Counts 'entirely appropriate'?!

Sure... if you have a friday vote too.

People have to have confidence in the result and that ain't gonna happen with boxes lying around for hours.
 

They're taking the piss!
Just got a letter through my door saying they are closing the Blackwall tunnel every weekday night for 3 years.

That seems bad enough ... but instead of running a contra-flow in the other tunnel, they are swapping the direction of it entirely and putting in 20mph average speed cameras (that can't be safe!)
Wanna go southbound? .. Tough.

As they say, the tunnel is 112 years old so can't just be left as it is.... but it wouldn't take 3 years to stick an entirely new tunnel in... which could have been associated with a replanning of all the roads around the north side which get clogged up all the time.

I suppose the only reason they aren't running it contraflow is that the speed cameras work in one direction.

I don't often use the tunnel itself but will mean getting anywhere round here after 2100 is going to be a nightmare - especially trying to get into docklands from the a12.

Big fat FAIL.

BBC Gives BNP a Voice, but Not Climate Sceptics

It seems that the BBC are happy to give the highly controversial British National Party (BNP) a voice on Question Time, but didn't give a climate sceptic the chance to have a say on the previous week's Newsnight (15th October), which was laughingly billed as 'Greens on trial.' The idea was supposedly to ask tough questions on whether the Greens were blocking innovations vital to the fight against climate change. Any 'trial' without a witness for the prosecution is surely a sham.

The Newsnight discussion (30 minutes of it) was framed so that the introduction saw the return of BBC 'ethical man,' Justin Rowlatt, warning that we had only six years to act or else it would be too late, together with footage of world leaders speaking about the severity of the problem, plus footage of the US army on patrol and a voiceover saying that even they now see climate change as one of the biggest global threats.

In the studio defending the green movement for a good 20 minutes were Chairman and Director of the Ecologist and Tory candidate Zac Goldsmith, director of the film The Age of Stupid, Franny Armstrong, and co-founder of the green PR company Futerra, Solitaire Townsend. All of them got the opportunity to promote the climate disaster scenario. The questioning from presenter Emily Maitlis was pretty hopeless.

ABD Environment spokesman Paul Biggs commented: "Ex-newsreader Peter Sissons recently lifted the lid on what is effectively the BBC's policy of ignoring the legitimate arguments of climate sceptics. Clearly the BBC is impartial when it suits them, but this impartiality does not extend to the climate debate. Apparently climate sceptics rank below the BNP on the BBC's impartiality scale."

Wiki for the 2010 UK General Election
 

Whilst I still hope for a 2009 election, I'm expecting it's going to be 2010.

To that end I'm starting to build a wiki about it:

http://ge2010.co.uk

Now it's my expectation that it can be used to catalogue labour's failures so they can't get away with their usual lies, but it's open for all to edit so as long as it's all truthful then we can see how it'll turn out.
