If I was supposed to be at work at 7 O'clock in the evening or whatever time the meetings are then I would have swapped shifts with someone or booked the shift off so that I could go to the meeting.

If you feel strongly you'll find a way.

It was in the Observer a bit back that this issue met with a positive response at the area meetings.
Lilly, the very first post I remember reading of your's on this forum, was when you said you'd been at the count on election night, and you were scathing of the behaviour of the Labour councillors. Is there perhaps a little political bias on your side, regarding this issue?

As for myself, I have no political affiliations to any party.

I've lived in London under a Labour council, Lambeth, which was dire, and I've also been a resident under Tory held Wandsworth, which was excellent. Indeed, as good as Labour held Glasgow, another place I've lived.

This isn't about party politics. This is about someone so naive, that his idea of a name change for the borough, a sort of expensive Emperor's new clothes, is the most stupid, and costly idea that has ever locally been mooted.

And don't forget, as Greg Pope said earlier in this thread, come election time, we'll all still be living in the constituency of
H-Y-N-D-B-U-R-N-!
