QUOTE (dannyboy @ Feb 11 2011, 02:25 PM) You mean interviews could be edited? Haven't heard this interview, but I noticed on another one that Mr G uses totally differenct forms of language on the radio to what he does on this forum. Far more moderate in tone and less blustering/lobbing of grenades. Is that due to editing, or an awareness a wider audience might be even less taken by such tones? Or even that Newbury Sound do not allow unsubstantiated statements re lies, fault, etc?

QUOTE (NWNREADER @ Feb 11 2011, 12:01 AM) If the quote attributed to Keith Ullyat is accurate then it does seem he was incorrect. But he works entirely on information he is given to present, he does not research the details himself. If Keith said it, that was what he was told to say.
As for the spreadsheet, is it a live document? If so, when was it last updated? if the published version is just a snapshot then what it says today, tomorrow or next week may not change even if the situation does. The data in the spreadsheet, to comply with the Freedom Of Information Act, should have been the latest data the council has at the time of issuing that data under the Freedom Of Information Act. That does not mean it should be older than a day or so before issuing as WBC has to ensure it is updated before being sent?

QUOTE (NWNREADER @ Feb 11 2011, 12:21 AM) As a journalist he uses his experience to prepare Council information for presentation to the media. he may guide on content so he can present a coherent statement, but his role is not to go out and get the information. That is for Officers and Members to provide. As he is speaking for the council then it is the councils responsibility to ensure the information is accurate before releasing? As the saying goes I am in charge the buck stops here. Is the Chief Exec offering hes resignation then?

QUOTE (Iommi @ Feb 12 2011, 10:43 AM) I have heard a rumour that the CCTV system isn't live yet! If that is the case, I hope our local crims don't find out, but if they do, they had better avoid doing anything bad, just in case it isn't true!
I have also heard a rumour that the picture quality of the new system isn't up to all that much either.
I hope none of this is true! Iommi are you doubting the local man in blue who has stated that the cameras are all working and the quality is excellent? Or perhaps he is nearing retirement and requires a comfy post with a local authority?

It is only an allegation, but it is possible that the images he has seen are fine, that doesn't mean all features work well. It often isn't about what people say, often it is about what people don't say!

It often isn't about what people say, often it is about what people don't say! And WBC are certainly not saying very much are they?
