Can't HBC just decide not to have a panopticon and then get on with life?
Point taken about your son being gutted if he couldn't go to a football match but would it have been possible for you to opt out of work if the match had been played in an afternoon?
Has he ever thought of supporting Stanley?

I respect peoples views who have thought through the Panopticons and make an honest decision whether for or against. Was it Sarter who said progress comes from revolution and counter revolution?
HBCs debt is £27million. 33,000 Council Tax payers. About £800 each? Many loans taken out at fixed rate because of boom and bust of 80's and 90's, some as high as 14% fixed. Average Council Tax payment is about £130 to HBC. Even if we knocked 20 quid a year of the £130 it would take how many years to pay?
We cant maintain the coppice. sadly there are only two options Engish Nature as nature reserve and thats a long shot and funding I am not sure about and the substantially funded Regional Park. Yer makes yer decision, yer lives with it.
Stanley. We go when we can. It great to stand on terraces where you want to it and not be fleeced for simply being a foot fan. BTW last year the Labour Group voted to either reject all free tickets [with free bar] or accept them and donate every penny to charity. So if you see me in the bar, I'll be adding it all up and there will be a cheque given the Lab P Sec.
