Jaipur Literature Festival: Goodbye Mr Shakeseare 2010.
27-01-2010 06:18
In literature, as in cinema, the audience is mesmerized by celebrities rather then quality or art. Readers buy books promoted by critics who are in the majority friends of the writer or publisher.

Not just a Protest Vote: Sack the Parties, Vote Local
25-01-2010 09:40
A proposal for a non-ideological, word-of-mouth election campaign based on the principle of trust. In the forthcoming UK general election, candidates who represent no political party, only themselves (and by association the communities in which they live), stand for election with the single pledge to resign if elected. This gives voters a “none of the above” option, allowing them to vote against all the parties; but more than that, it gives them the chance to vote positively, for a trustworthy candidate who doesn't want power over others, and thus to vest moral authority in the local community, not in a distant Parliament.Save Newgrange!

Council does the dirty on the Save Victoria Bath Campaign
18-01-2010 13:39
Nottingham City Council is trying to close Victoria Leisure Centre on 31 March 2010, despite having no approved plans for development and no planning permission to demolish what is already there. If they succeed, the current Leisure Centre will be lost forever and the local community will have nowhere to go.
The Council must be persuaded to change their mind!
