Poor old Rowan….!
It may have appeared this week that the Archbishop of Canterbury dropped a clangger on the topic of Islamic Law.
I actually think he has beem deliberately missinterpreted by the media. The Right Rev Rowan Williams is a highly intelligent, considerate man and from what I can tell has been shocked by the react […] -

Topic of Capricorn
Watched a fascinating programme tonight about Botswana and the ’semi-success’ story of this aftican nation.
It seems quite often that all we hear about Africa is violence, starvation and failure. But there are other aspects that don’t always get covered by the media. The above programme did illustrate some of the problems faced by […] -

The drugs don’t work….
Well they do for some.
Nick Clegg rightly identified the issue of Mental Ill Health in our society. 1 in 4 people will suffer mental illness during their lifetime. 1 in 6 of us is ‘Mentally ill’ now….
Nick talks about Britain being a “Prozac Nation” and by this he means the ease at which […] -

Oh not again…
What is it about Stroud?
We wanted a cimema so we built on our bus station. The temporary solution is now ‘de facto’ permenant. (split by a trunk route… hmm)
We wanted a bypass and knocked ‘Old Stroud’ building down to make way… and then stopped!

British Waterways Chief Executive Robin Evans says that “We have thought long and hard over this decision and know […] -

Don’t shut our Post Offices, Please!
So 2,500 post offices are being culled by Labour.
Rodborough used to have 2 Offices but the last one closed several years ago. Nearby Post Offices in South Woodchester, Uplands and Ebley are now under serious threat.
Why?
Surely the Post Office should be seen as the essential center of many communities. Not everyone wants to, or is […] -

Well I have just survived an Action Day in Rodborough where we put out #19 in our leaflet schedule!… local and national messages etc
#20 and #21 are sitting on my hard drive waiting for completion… saying the same things but […] -

Can we all ‘afford’ to be Green?
One of the things Nick Clegg mentioned during the leadership election was the challenge every ‘green’ politician has with making envrionmental sustainable policies that everyone of which everyone can be part.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to tackling the dangers of the Changing Climate. We realise that its not just a concern for the ‘Chattering Classes.’ […] -

Disaster for Stroud Home Seekers…
An article recently published in the Citizen pointed out that there are 2620 families waiting for accommodation in Stroud District alone. With the development of the Hunts Grove site at stake How on earth are we going to house all these people if we don’t go ahead and build?
The Democratic process produced a local plan […]
