Coventry to Join "Greater Birmingham Council"

Looks that way doesn't it? I voiced my opinions to that consultation (as I bet many others have) but I have no doubt that we'll be ignored.

That's often the way, isn't it. The decision has already been made, and the consultation is just lip service to democracy.

Labour's announced its candidate for the mayor's job. Nothing to do with the fact he's soon going to be an ex-MEP: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37022627

I had dealings with him as an MEP. - Let's just say I wasn't impressed.

Mark my words, we'll all get shafted apart from Brum!

Yes, we will be well and truly shafted, even the 'associate' members.
