UAF – Crawley and Horsham and beyond

May 24th, 2007 · Comments Off on UAF – Crawley and Horsham and beyond · Politics

This evening we held our meeting to get the Crawley & Horsham UAF established, and I am so glad it is out of the way. It seemed like a good idea at the time – to hold an open meeting and get some sort of body of officers elected/selected – but as it got closer […]

Despite frequent attempts by individual MPs, trade unions and others to put pressure on the Home Office to get the Redwatch site closed down it is still running.

Redwatch

July 17th, 2006 · 10 Comments · Politics

The other day I noticed a surge in visits from a site called Redwatch. Surge is probably over-stating it a bit: as at yesterday I had 16 hits from 9 different IP addresses. Not much of a surge really. More of a blip. But I thought I would head over to Redwatch to see what […]
