Absolute scum, take away their benefits the lot of them.

We have seen right wing populist protest violently through many cities and towns. Bristol stood strong today outnumbering the few protestors.

We witnessed division.

That division is made worse. Many of these protestors on the right have been mislead by modern media. Its so much easier to blame our national issues on migrants and look no further, in this way: calling them "fascists" or blindly proclaiming to want fully open borders may seem to be a gotcha but all we achieve is to alienate the confused working class people who we must bring over to our side.

Our NHS is fucked from political mishandling, deals with private capitalist. Our homes are in short supply due to private development that build for profit. Our education, utilities and other things aren't businesses and shouldn't profit like them. These are the programme's we must push across.

Solidarity Bristol I am proud to stand with you.

Ms Vittori said she was "unaware" about about the potential conflict of interest, adding it is a "great shame that this did not come to light earlier in the process".

Bristol Council have decided not to build Bristol arena in Bristol but in the neighbouring county. Instead they're guaranteed rent for forty years to some landlords. Makes sense 😅.

there are respects in which (Bristol City Council) are not adequately performing their function of determining applications for planning permission

"I was told in December the ground rent would be increased. Then I was informed the pitch was also being put up for tender," he said.

"Finally we were told a successful application for this tender would also be the one presenting the highest percentage figure of annual turnover they were willing to give.

"It's so very short-sighted. The council is sucking the life out of Bristol."

Bristol council once again proving that Bristol isn't a good place to do business.

It appears all you need for an honour is to be an affront to local democracy.... sigh. 😢

I'm sure the "that's not how budgets work" apologists would like to comment on this. It's public money they're wasting. Nice job if you can get it.
