Who Will Pay for the Lost Data?

The BBC’s website is now reporting that (surprise, surprise) the discs containing our personal data are definitely maybe still on government premises. Call me cynical but I suspect they will be ‘found’ within the next 48 hours. So some (...)

Why the BBC Won’t Let You View On the Internet in Realtime

Am I missing a trick? Last Saturday all I wanted to do was put my feet up with a nice cup of tea to watch an episode of BBCs Strictly Come Dancing on me laptop. A small pleasure admittedly but not much to ask, surely? I am however unable to achieve my (...)

The Big Boys Did It And Ran Away

There can’t be many people who would now challenge the overwhelming scientific consensus that carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change. It is obvious that unless we do something within the next decade the ecosystem is likely to be (...)

If America were a person ...

Nosemonkey recently spoke [presumably predominantly through his nasal cavity] of his experience writing about how other nations see America and this prompted me to ask a very simple question. If America was a person what kind of person might it be? How (...)

A Wasted Education and the Rest

My school days were characterised by brutality, terror and misery. I was one of the thousands of children who were bullied. In my case the perpetrators were not peers but my teachers. As a result I still shudder whenever driving past a school building or (...)

Chasing the Chocolate Kings

Writer and lecturer Danny Bernardi argues Birmingham City Council’s prosecution of Cadbury is a pointless waste of time. If you’ve ever eaten a bar of Cadbury’s chocolate a cursory glance at the label will reveal it was born in the (...)

Thanks for your comments. I am not making any claims that Cadbury are innocent or guilty. That is not for me to say. It is for a court to decide. My point is that this is a complete waste of council tax payers money. I think that mediation, discussion and education would have sorted this out thus leaving scarce council resources for more valuable work i.e. chasing the thousands of rogue traders operating in the city. I do not dispute the facts you have presented in your response to my article. The problem is that Birmingham City Council plead poverty whenever they cut a valuable service. Maybe if they worked with Cadbury to ensure this did not happen again they would have more money available to help vulnerable and disadvantaged stakeholders in the community.
