QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Nov 1 2011, 01:19 PM) Naughty, naughty! Again, you'd better rush before the heavies burst through the door. I'm simply sharing the original image, I can't find it on the other forum. Surely it hasn't been removed???

No facts, so cannot be 'accurate' - or false - just a bit of Private Eye style satire. The bit about Mr Benyon is acknowledged as wide of the mark, as I remember.

Why does changing the FB wall it is hosted on from Newbury Labour Party to another stop you, the poster, being sued? If there isn't much to sue over, why move it?

QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Nov 1 2011, 02:42 PM) Just heard from West Berkshire Council. Still no figures quoted, but they say the deal is only for ten years. Figures would be hard to quote as they depend on the number of people parking.

Problem is you'll take them as gospel & if the actual eventuality is different you'll be claiming the council got their sums wrong.

Problem is you'll take them as gospel & if the actual eventuality is different you'll be claiming the council got their sums wrong. And how is that a problem? Surely there was a business plan draft with high and low projections?

I'd hope that was part of the decision making process - the options and their relative strengths/weaknesses.... I think by 'problem' the suggestion is any numbers put up that are found to be wide of the mark will be used to nail the majority party...... But only if they are 'bad'.....
