It’s Hustings – 2022

Have you missed the white-hot energy of local government elections? I have. It's been four years since people stood before us and made passionate cases for why they should be the people I complain to when the bins don't get emptied. As we're now in this stupid "all in...

West Midlands Mayoral Hustings – 2021

West Midlands Mayoral Hustings – 2021

After a year off from any sort of democratic activity we’re easing back into things with the West Midlands Metro Mayor election. The Mayoral election is an odd one. Nobody really understands what the Mayor does, not many people really know who the Mayor is, but it’s...

General Election Hustings – 2019

Raise the roof and have some fun

The surprise collapse of the Prince of Wales Corporation has left a trail of destruction in its wake. The financial cost to broken butchers and tearful builders is one thing but more importantly, we want to know what will happen to the good times? Well, we've got...

The Information War is Won

The Information War is Won

  As Moseley sees another night of nighttime raids residents can, at last, be assured that the War on Truth has finally turned the tide in the right direction. Many people didn't notice a small clause in the recent Data Protection Act 2018 that gave moderators of...

We Are the Law

We Are the Law

Everyone knows that St Agnes Road is an idyllic example of urban peace. With its enormous houses and children playing in the streets you could easily be fooled that it defines the pinnacle of Moseley life that we all aspire to. After dark, it is a very different...
