Session about developments at Watermans Park and the Police station going to planning soon. Quite a lot of change from the proposal approved some years ago and it would be good to get a strong attendance at the Armenian centre on the corner of Ealing Road and Braemar on Thursday between 3pm and 7pm!

35 years ago I asked my FD boss for a promotion. He wasn't enthusiastic. Later he called me in. He said I was not a good accountant. I gulped. He offered me a commercial job. Good choice. Paid my subs for 25 years but gave up accountancy
I am still boring though. Some things you never lose.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

I see the Blessed Nigel clocked up >£120,000 in May and June from making speeches. I'm not sure they were all in Clacton. Or the UK for that matter. Not declared in his register of interests until 3 October where he should have done so by 28th July at the latest. Nice work if you can hide it.

In Hounslow the discount you get if you use the Right to Buy bribe is more than twice what you have paid in rent over 10 years. The demand for council homes is partly driven by people who have alternatives but are motivayed to collect the bribe.
Happy 100th Birthday Margaret Thatcher. This is your legacy:
Right to Buy forces councils to sell off homes. They're so desperate to get them back that they'll buy the homes back just a few years later, making losses of £200k+. Ex-tenants get rich
