Written parliamentary answers have confirmed that a) Mr Prescott did not know about Derek Chapman's connection to BHAFC when he opened the office; and b) the planning decision on Falmer had not even been "called in" by the government at the time. Indeed, it was still being decided by Brighton and Hove Council. To alledge that any corrupt practice took place is, frankly, a libel.<BR/><BR/>So please either shut your clack, or say what you mean in public so you can be successfully sued for it. <BR/><BR/>Good day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1158537438635562772006-09-18T00:57:00.000+01:002006-09-18T00:57:00.000+01:00Anonymous at 9.37, you cannot seriously call that ...Anonymous at 9.37, you cannot seriously call that a poll. Even Eben Black on 5 Live dismissed it.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous at 10.21. Ridiculous. I very rarely censor. i only ever delete a post if it is libellous or gratuitously offensive. Guido does the same. And I'm getting more hits than him now anyway, as he will tell you himself. I;d love to know how you think I am stifling blogging when all the LibDem bloggers I met tonight were very grateful for all the publicity I have given them. Keep taking the pills.

These are the "liberal" "democrats" who see fit to use taxpayers money to challenge a government decision taken over two public enquiries about a stadium that isn't even in their area!<BR/><BR/>Yes, it is in an AONB. But there are already 12 university buildings and a bypass on the same site. Oh yes, and it's already zoned for development. <BR/><BR/>And the decision to take it to judicial review was not even discussed by the whole of Lewes DC. Just the cabinet, in a private sitting. Democracy? You're having a laugh!<BR/><BR/>The newspaper's favourite "white knight", Norman Baker, is dead against this development not even in his constituency. Despite saying in a local paper in 2004 that when the John Prescott decision was made, he would respect it.<BR/><BR/>(Oh yes... there are small number of local Lib Dems who are pro-stadium. The rumour is that the small group was told they faced expulsion from the party if they joined our rally!)<BR/><BR/>Plenty more information on www.seagullsparty.org.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1158529330943377492006-09-17T22:42:00.000+01:002006-09-17T22:42:00.000+01:00I can't believe they are allowed to protest!
