When was Lewisham Tory?

Just seen on the BBC news that Labour have taken Lewisham council from the Tories. Blimey, I didn't know I was that out of touch!

While we all know that our electoral system is not wholly democratic but I'm not sure that the handful of councillors the Tories had for the last four years, no matter how effective, could actually be deemed to have been in charge of the council.

Thought I'd take a screen shot for posterity.

Labour of course has taken the council from 'No overall control' at the expense of the Lib Dems and Greens.

Greens on Channel Four

I missed it when it was on the box last night but have just discovered that you can watch the Green Party's Channel Four Political Slot on YouTube. Enjoy.

Local boy on Radio Four

In the haze that is everything before 10am this morning I suddenly realised I was listening to local musician Billy Jenkins on Radio Four. He was rather good I thought, particularly as he was really focused on bigging up the local community. Great stuff.
