Civil rights fears over Cornwall schools terror watch

From the BBC website.

“Civil rights group Liberty has questioned the value of an anti-terrorism plan in Cornwall schools.

It follows a presentation from police to the council’s Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education.
The council’s religious education advisor said curbing violent extremism should be “core to education”.

Facing the music – yes. Pantomime politics – no.

This week the Cornwall media pre-elections debate kicked off. I’m a player not a referee, but I’ve decided to blow the whistle and call for an end to pantomime politics – it’s what people in Cornwall are telling me they want from our politicians.

Total Politics in Cornwall

I was choughed to write the national political magazine Total Politics diary of the week and decided to focus on Cornwall news production including Cornish political blogs and community media.

A Commission for CornwallDick Cole

This morning, as one of the four group leaders on Cornwall Council, I took part in a Radio Cornwall debate which focussed on the implications of expected cuts in central government funding to local councils. Such cuts could obviously lead to job losses and reductions in services.

Michael Foot 1913-2010 - Charlotte MacKenzie

Michael Foot always reminded me of my much less well known grandfather, my mother’s father, who was a life-long Labour supporter who lived to be a similar age.

The imbecilic and the incoherent: Radio Yokel meets UKIP -Cornish Zetetics

“Fundamentally, it seems that UKIP, in addition to being full of paranoid obsessives, is unable to differentiate between immigration into the UK and immigration into Cornwall.”

Cornwall’s Any QuestionsJude Robinson

“Went to the Radio Cornwall ‘Any Questions’ event yesterday evening.  Thought it was great that the group leaders agreed to be held to account in public forum but thought the result disappointing.”

TORY/INDIE CORNWALL COUNCIL: THE FIRST FEW MONTHSJeremy Rowe

“Here is a short piece I wrote for another publication about the first few months of the new Tory/Independent administration at Cornwall Council:”

Cornish nationalism a sane kind of nationalism. Cornish Democrat

The Race Is OnAndrew Wallis

With the sudden resignation of the Children’s, School’s and Families (CSF) Portfolio holder Cllr Sally Bain for family reasons the question is who will replace her? The role of CSF Portfolio is a very difficult one, one of the hardest that you can do at Cornwall Council.

Penzance Business Network launch web site

The Penzance Business Network web site has a 79 page slide presentation that explains the new Option PZ scheme in a clear and easy to understand format.

“This ancient Borough is at a crossroads and in some state of decline. It deserves to have a great future, but very often those making important decisions which affect us all, do so with little commercial acumen; sometimes, they simply fail to see the area’s true potential. The Network has been established to represent business people in the area and we very much hope you will join us.”
