'Leadbeater’s promise on protections and safeguards may prove a claim that will live in infamy.'

211 years exactly since we burned the White House. An interesting historical fact is that the naval officer in command of the raid, Sir George Cockburn, sailed back to Britain and was immediately given the job of transporting Napoleon to St Helena aboard HMS Northumberland.

In neocommunal Britain, politics will increasingly be driven by demographic influence. This extends to local politics as well as national; Birmingham may be the blueprint for many of Britain’s councils. Epping may be the other.
