Welcome to my blog. I am a former local journalist who now works in PR and a Conservative and community activist in Woking and Horsell. This blog will keep updated on local issues as well as my interests and quirky news stories.
It’s been a case of France and Scotland again this weekend, with the news that Mark France, the anti-Julie Kirkbride protester has been sacked by the Job Centre – no irony there, then. They rightly saw his vitriolic pursual of Ms Kirkbride (even though the blog is rubbish) as political activity, which as a public servant he shouldn’t be engaged in.
We’ll just wait for the employment tribunal now then – once again, no irony. But that’s the DWP for you.
Elsewhere, Scottish supremo Alex Salmond is sure that the early release of Abdelbasset Ali Al-Megrahi was the correct one. Wrong. The Americans are deeply unimpressed and as the major backers of any independence movement going, particularly in the UK (IRA funding, anyone?), the SNP has shot it’s own ultimate aim very sorely in the foot.
Nice going for only two years in government!
