What the bloody hell is going on up there? I read in todays Observer that some character running an outfit called the "Ossy Community Church" is turning a disused factory into a hostel for ex-cons & crackheads. Not only that, no planning permission has been applied for and no formal discussions have been undertaken with the council. In fact, its worse than that...a systematic attempt appears to have made to cover up the entire project to the extent that Crime Tsar Hayes had to infiltrate a meeting in disguise to discover what its all about.

The man who is responsible for this is some joker by the name of Jackson, who is a "leader" of this so-called church. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is one of these happy-clappy touchy-feely lesbo & gay establishments. I've no problem with that, although personally my idea of a good churchman is someone who argues his case armed with a pint and a ciggy at the bar, rather than twanging his guitar from the pulpit. What I do object to, though,are these people attempting to set up an alternative criminal rehabilitation scheme while conspiring to keep the local people in ignorance. I do hope the good people of Ossy give short shift to the entire caboodle.
