Lichfield Masterplan push condemned by independent

Surely pressing ahead with the Lichfield Masterplan will increase the likelihood of a repeat of the failed Friarsgate project? The reason funding never materialised before was because the economic fundamentals of both the council and the project were unsound; to investors, it was a risk not worth taking. Amid a government-induced economic depression with theContinue reading “Lichfield Masterplan push condemned by independent”

Independent supports plans for recorded council meetings

I fully support the continuation of recorded council meetings on the grounds of openness and transparency in local government, and as such back this proposed motion to be put before Lichfield District Council. It is important that those individuals elected to office are visible and properly held to account. Christopher J. Wilkinson It is importantContinue reading “Independent supports plans for recorded council meetings”

Speech on ‘Is equality a good thing?’

This speech was originally delivered to an online meeting of Libertarian Party members on 18 July 2020. Is equality a good thing? I wish to frame my analysis by differentiating between two main types of equality. There is natural equality, and there is artificial equality. Specifically, only natural equality is in my view a goodContinue reading “Speech on ‘Is equality a good thing?’”

Independent raises doubts over new location for Friary Grange Leisure Centre

The decision on whether Stychbrook Park should be selected as the proposed site of the new Leisure Centre has been hurried through without much time for public scrutiny. This is clearly unacceptable. As with the new housing developments proposed for Netherstowe and Leyfields, the environment should not be compromised for the sake of generating additionalContinue reading “Independent raises doubts over new location for Friary Grange Leisure Centre”

Coronavirus Act renewal comes under fire from independent

Yesterday, the House of Commons voted to renew the Coronavirus Act 2020 for a further six months. 330 MPs voted in favour, 24 MPs voted against and the remainder abstained. The most dictatorial, freedom-hating, liberty-destroying government in British peacetime history has just received a mandate from our supposed representatives to continue unabated to destroy jobs,Continue reading “Coronavirus Act renewal comes under fire from independent”

Council criticised by independent over Lichfield Masterplan funding

Not exactly the most pressing of causes to be allocating taxpayer’s money to at this time. I doubt hard pressed local residents who’ve endured the painful experience of a state-imposed lockdown, food shortages, job losses, voluntary redundancies, business closures, mental health pressures, declining physical wellbeing and social deprivation would place a city centre renovation asContinue reading “Council criticised by independent over Lichfield Masterplan funding”

Independent highlights credibility concerns over coronavirus statistics

We’re currently experiencing the second highest number of new coronavirus cases recorded this year, yet few people are panicking – and rightly so. According to the government, this is an emergency even though their increase in the number of daily tests has inevitably led to the detection of more cases. The reality is that thereContinue reading “Independent highlights credibility concerns over coronavirus statistics”

Independent scorns WHO funding and exploding UK budget deficit

Ever the post-truth traitor our country didn’t deserve, Boris Johnson has agreed to ramp up Britain’s contribution to the World Health Organisation with £571m to provide research for a vaccine that is scientifically impossible to achieve, putting us ahead of America’s contribution and making us the joint largest funders on a par with the BillContinue reading “Independent scorns WHO funding and exploding UK budget deficit”

Leading scientists sign open letter calling for change to COVID policies

Leading scientists with credible reputations in virology have written an open letter to the government as the state rapidly loses control of the crisis they helped to cause. Aside from the crucial fact that Neil Ferguson’s COVID-19 modelling has still not been released for public scrutiny despite a promise to do so, government policy isContinue reading “Leading scientists sign open letter calling for change to COVID policies”
