Stoke Housing Re-Development FU - Coucil had to decide to repair a Coronation Street like suburb.
- 1. Can't count - The repair option report said it would add £11m to the value of the houses. Instead of setting this off the costs the accountant added it on..making it seem expensive.#
- By the time of the 2006 inquiry the error had been realised, but the decision was made to proceed with a 15 year demolish & redevelop plan.
- Residents reckon they got a raw deal, being moved out of houses they were happy with into worse alternatives. Now that the suburb is 50% full of half demolished pockets, the new gov has stopped the financing. So the other residdents are left living in an area like the Bronx
- what a FU
- Good piece about the secret crypt under the Coventry Cathedral ruins and stained glass masterpiece they still have stored from before the war.

| Liddles words hardly likely to influence correctly instructed jury
|
- Read Rod Liddles blog contempt ? : hardly, I checked it. He mentioned his opinion that other accused in the same case had been overharshly punished in a minor incident cos the murder charge hadn't stuck before.
- Maybe implied that the accused in cause celebre anti-racism cases might get sentences way out of step with the crime, jurors only make decisions on court evidence so his opinion wud not have influence.
- hardly likely to influence correctly instructed jury. Maybe judge was afraid other press might be more inflammatory so he decided to set a line?
