Bit off topic, but couldn't resist this put down by another national body. Looks like another loss for Herefordshire and tourism. Maybe they can put a fire station on it and local National Trust members can hand in their memberships. Is there no room for any culture in this county?

The Department for Transport has awarded a contract to Northgate Public Services for the development and delivery of the Blue Badge Improvement Service (BBIS). What does it take to administer a blue badge? Another private comglomerate building up databases on the UK public. More jobs going down the wire.

Hop it Dippy!

Ah Dippy, you don't think £45 is a fair price to preserve your freedom? A couple of rounds in the local bar or an evening out.

Those of you aware of the UK's constitutional history, Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, and Habeas Corpus, may think that your basic freedoms are protected under English law. Well you'd be wrong. Our rights are being undermined and destroyed by the creation of the European Union's own system of criminal law. It is an ambitious plan, that has scale and reach that is truly frightening. This is being achieved by stealth, introduced piece by piece until the intended jig-saw fits together as a whole. We are told it is necessary to combat cross border terrorism and crime. The EU is creating its own legal institutions and legal instruments that enshrine a new EU system of criminal law - that undermines and supersedes our own - centuries old, tried and tested legal system. This video aims to show you just a few examples of how these legal powers are in force today... and what is intended for the future, ...and how they have seriously affected ordinary British citizens. I can't believe how few views these videos get, considering we are selling ourselves down the river. Nothing in the mainstream media and with only 3 weeks to go before our criminal system gets sucked into the EU it looks as is if we are sleep walking to disaster. On the 1st November, in Birmingham, the British Constitution Group are having a conference. The date of the conference is significant, because on that day David Cameron's government throws away British sovereignty to the European Union in 43 policy areas. This is harmonisation with the emphasis on HARM. What can be done about it? I have just bought a ticket to find out

Following on from post 15 above I have been watching some videos on the British Constituion especially those presented by John Bingley. I then came across this article in The Guardian this week referring to the Four copies of Magna Carta to be shown together for first time The British Library is offering just 1,215 people – via a public ballot – the once-in-a-lifetime chance to view the four surviving manuscripts from 1215 side by side The four surviving copies of the original Magna Carta from 1215 will come together for the first time in history next February as part of a one-off event to mark the 800th anniversary of the signing of the historic document. The Magna Carta – literally, Great Charter – was issued by King John in 1215, as his barons revolted and civil war loomed. It saw the monarch avert crisis by acknowledging that the king was not above the law, and with the granting of a range of rights to English citizens. “To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice,†runs one of its most famous clauses. Written on single sheets of parchment, running to around 4,000 words of medieval Latin, two of the surviving 1215 Magna Carta documents are kept at the British Library – one of which was severely damaged in an 18th-century fire, and which has been painstakingly restored using multispectral imaging. One is currently at Lincoln Cathedral, and one at Salisbury Cathedral. On 3 February 2015, they will be brought together at the British Library. Now I thought one of the copies of the The Magna Carta was kept at Hereford, although it was sent to USA, on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science between February and August 2014. The most significant revision of Magna Carta was issued by Henry III in 1217. Hereford Cathedral is fortunate to possess one of these 1217 charters only four of which survive. Have I got this wrong as the numbers don't add up or is the one in Hereford Cathedral a later copy 1217 and something else? Maybe this is the answer found on Wikipedia: Hereford is fortunate to possess one of only four 1217 Magna Carta to survive, which in turn is one of the finest of the eight oldest that survive. It is sometimes put on display alongside the Hereford Mappa Mundi in the cathedral's chained library.

In Management Today by Jack Torrance Thursday, 09 October 2014 The latest planning application for an amusement arcade in Commercial Street supports this trend.

The joys of living in the countryside! I used to live and work in a small hamlet just north of Leominster for 11 years and I would never put myself in that situation again. To do anything like get a newspaper or milk you have to get in your car to drive miles to a shop. This is why there is a great desire for younger people to live in towns and cities where they can find jobs and have places of entertainment. Living in Hereford I don't need a car and hire one when necessary otherwise I use my bike.

Thursday 9 October 2014 in Hereford Times Letters Bus changes downgrade High Town Since they have changed the timetables, it is pointless going out in the evenings with the last bus returning (74 service) at 7:05pm Monday to Friday. Expensive taxi trade must have been boosted by this decision and more people put back on the roads in their cars.

Oh dear

Yes it could be the only record that The Working Boys Home existed.

Maybe we can get them to cover the planning meeting when it is held. I am sure the councillors won't like to be under the spotlight if they are shown passing this planning application.

Watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on Sky Atlantic. He was highlighting Civil Forfeiture in USA where the police seem to be taking asset seizure to a new level - legalised robbery. In this country we have a similar scheme to remove assets accrued through crime, but in more increasing cases, in the USA, no crimes have been committed. Sounds a bit like the Guy Taylor scenario. Are we moving in this direction?

Guy Taylor update here. According to UK Column today (22:0 mins in) Guy and Linda Taylor were in court yesterday and are now able to take action against bailiffs who stormed Bodenham Manor.

Excellent interview. Link here. 6 days left to listen.

Neil Doverty didn't stay long, he only joined the Trust in May 2013. You don't want to be around when a budget deficit of £9 million and unprecedented emergency demand is on the cards. Came across this and I imagine it is the same Mr Doverty. The chase to the top for these individuals knows no bars.

Yes there are great similarities, although I think Bobby has the edge on him. In fact I would say that Mr Rees-Mogg may have been "transformed" through The Bobby School of Self Etiquette. I was wondering who was writing all this council speak. extract from Wikipedia:
