i'm assuming you read F. O'Sullivan as a public-minded service for the rest of us (it's a dirty job but...etc.).

unfairness of a campaign which has Labour's fingerprints all over it
oh, so it was them bastards that made him do it. how evil they are.
My conscience is clear. Those who have chosen to try to ruin my reputation should perhaps now examine theirs.
the man seems to like doling out advice. how generous.

Richard Worth has resigned from Parliament, saying he is the victim...
...of his own corrupt lecherous slimy misogynistic ways?
quite possibly.

if it were proven that a minister of the crown offered someone a public sector job or position on a public board in return for sexual favours, would that not be criminal behaviour? looks to me like if that were the case it is corruption. abuse of official power for private gain (even if it is not monetary gain).

Couldn't we have achieved the desired cohesion in transport and infrastructure by simply giving the regional council the same powers bestowed on all other regional councils in the last shakeup?
yes, David, we probably could have. it seems to me that there have always been lots of people behind the scenes who have been desperate to prevent the regional council from getting any integrated governanvce framework to get transport/infrastrucutre done. Bruce Jesson gave the moneyed interests a huge shock, they seem determined to never have a repeat. and the ARC seems to consistently provide an evenly balanced or slightly green/left council. the chairperson is even elected by the councillors! such an affront to the power of ad money!

I remain convinced he is principally in this job for the prestige.
David, this seems like a fair assessment to me.
Have a nice weekend! -

Strangely Normal
too many 404 error messages now!
aah, you could be right. the record shop had a door onto the street but you had to walk down a passageway as he was tucked in behind some other shop. some of my friends used to buy Strangely Normal stuff back then too, so it could have all started at RRR, not sure. we used to score some really good records there though. and cheap. especially rare 7" stuff. like the Stridulators. come to think of it, maybe you're right about Strangely Normal being tucked in there too...
