Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan- Public Works and Utilities

A trip of development from the scaffolding guy Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan

It’s a pairing of 80’s movie synths & this reminder of what the area was trying to achieve way back when. Instilling this part in history, all wrapped up in electronic goodness.
Returning with a continuation of costly development & lofty plans that will see the people living amongst it

Every time I hear a Warrington-Runcorn album I start thinking what was used in the process. What hardware, software, recording techniques?
I wish I got to run into Gordon to chat music & tech, since I lived around that area. Maybe in the future

This has become part of my top 20 of the year which will all come to a vote later in the month

The Council winning a bid to block #AsylumSeekers staying at Bell Hotel in #Epping creates an extremely dangerous precedent as rent-a-mob will now move onto to another hotel or perhaps many

I predict #Runcorn will be in uproar within 48 hours

Are we moving toward civil war?

Here's a great analysis of the Runcorn by-election from @CherylMorgan which seeks to correct various misapprehensions about why Reform won, whose votes they gained, and why Labour (and the media) are drawing the wrong conclusions.

And its admirably concise for a busy Saturday morning.

So, Reform has won the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. Judging by what I am seeing in the news and on social media, this is a major defeat for Labour whose voters, we are told, are deserting the party en masse for Reform. The lesson for Labour is apparently clear: they need to double-down on their

Watching the BBC lunchtime news on the telly it was clear that Ben Brown and some of the other BBC journos could barely contain their excitement at the fascists winning elections.

I dunno, maybe a responsible broadcaster could broadcast some warnings from history about what happens when fascists get elected rather than just cheering them on?

Crossing my fingers, but without much hope, for a Lib Dem win on Hull & East Yorkshire. Lib Dems have the best ground game of any party but Reform have had a decently good night and are the favourite there.

The Reform candidate there actually is the least worst Reform candidate I've seen but … you know … Reform. Still don't want them to succeed.
