A couple of the candidates actually knocked on my door and that doesn't usually happen!

Local government doesn't seem to attract the 'brightest and the best' in any circumstances but this campaign was particularly mediocre- inappropriately personal and nasty.

Plaid Cymru and Labour canvassers seemed to find it hilarious that anyone would 'waste' a vote on a candidate that they actually wanted to vote for, in preference to tactical voting.

We desperately need PR to raise the quality of the discussion over the heads of these arrogant bullying rat-bags who take the electorate for granted.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
