Christopher J. Wilkinson signs petition to stop construction of Festival Gardens filter lane

Lichfield City Council is planning to build a filter lane which will encroach upon the beautiful Festival Gardens. This is something I strongly oppose. As with other developments such as those in Nether Stowe and Leyfields, the lack of regard for the value urban green spaces such as this provide for local residents and touristsContinue reading “Christopher J.

Third wave fears at odds with return to normality as independent rules out taking COVID vaccine

If more than half of the country has received a first vaccine, therefore acquiring a significant immunity greater than any comparable European country, why should we be concerned by a supposed ‘third wave’ when we’ve also been told that said vaccine regardless of manufacturer is effective (to varying degrees) against all variants? If the infectionContinue reading “Third wave fears at odds with return to normality as independent rules out taking COVID vaccine”

Local Government Association guidance on vaccine coercion strategies condemned by independent

Following on from yesterday’s post where I said that administering the vaccine ‘must be and remain a personal choice to be made by individuals without coercion or compulsion’, an NHS document on the Local Government Association’s website dated December 2020 has been brought to my attention that clearly violates this principle (https://www.local.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/Vaccination%20do%20and%20donts%20by%20audience%20cohorts.pdf). If this documentContinue reading “Local Government Association guidance on vaccine coercion strategies condemned by independent”

Independent criticises economic and social costs of government COVID policies as campaign launches

The government would like you to think that today represents the beginning of the restoration of civil liberties and a gradual return to ‘normality’, but the experience of the past year may prove otherwise. From today, the only activities made ‘legal’ one again include the resumption of education for young people, limited care home access,Continue reading “Independent criticises economic and social costs of government COVID policies as campaign launches”

Push for gender neutral language raises questions from independent

If ever there was a greater reason to stand for election this year, I’d love to know what it is because this sort of thing that shouldn’t be making the local news. If I wished to be referred to as ‘chairman’ or ‘chairwoman’ or ‘chairperson’, I’d hope to be referred to as chairman, chairwoman orContinue reading “Push for gender neutral language raises questions from independent”

Independent commends Samuel Johnson Society lecture on Thomas Paine

Earlier today I attended a very interesting online talk by Paul Myles on Thomas Paine held by the Samuel Johnson Society. While Paine was known more so in America than in Britain for his contribution to the Articles of Confederation which preceded the United States Constitution, his philosophy laid the early foundations for libertarian valuesContinue reading “Independent commends Samuel Johnson Society lecture on Thomas Paine”

Independent expresses concerns over public willingness to return to normality

At what point will people be willing to ‘get back to normal’? Do all deaths have to cease, or all cases have to be eliminated? How many people have to die from untreated cancer or heart disease or suicide or starvation before people change their minds? How many jobs must be lost, and how manyContinue reading “Independent expresses concerns over public willingness to return to normality”
