The Circus of unearthly delights

November 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics

Hot on the heels of his utter denial of global warming, Philip Circus has used his column in the West Sussex County Times this week to apply his (sadly not) unique wisdom on housing provision and his conclusion seems to be that we don’t need any.

Chairing

March 4th, 2005 · Comments Off on Chairing · Politics
