I received my green bins a couple of days ago for the new garden waste collection. As I was among the first to sign up for the scheme and so got two bins for £45, which I thought was very satisfactory. Over the weekend, I have cleared my vegetable beds of weeds and grass [...]

 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 all gone a bit wrong for Brown Following America is what Labour has done best throughout its tenure – in Iraq, Kosovo, Iraq again, Afghanistan and finally Iraq yet again. On each occasion we’ve gone in with America and been the last ally to exit ahead of them. What a shame that [...] I did promise that I wouldn’t be blogging on individual Lib Dems unless they blogged on individual Conservatives or executive decisions in a new spirit of shared common purpose.

There is a paper on this going to the executive on September 3 that asks members to consider whether to re-instate funding to the centre on the basis of [...] If you are ever unfortunate enough to entertain Lib Dems to tea, make sure you bake two cakes – one for them to have and one to eat. Having moaned for ages that Woking parking charges were too high, they are now moaning that the action the Conservatives have taken to reduce charges at [...] It’s a pleasure to be able to report some good journalism at the BBC because it doesn’t happen very often these day. Laura Kuenssberg may lack Nick Robinson’s trademark glasses and gleaming pate but it hasn’t stopped her vastly outplaying him while he’s sunning himself abroad. For a blog that is usually highly timid [...] |
