SEEING Cllr Geraldine Reardon on the BBC, stating that the William Morris Gallery was open six days a week, I wondered if the council had fallen into a parallel universe where words have different meanings.
After all, it has described as valid' the recent DFI health report, based on a supposed survey of households in which 40 per cent of the postcodes were found to be nonexistent.
A look at its propaganda sheet WFM confirmed my suspicion. An article in the current issue (March 24) directs readers to a website where they can comment on the council's controversial masterplan for Walthamstow.
But the address it gives for the website doesn't exist.
Not that I expect to find much genuine information in WFM, which, though funded by our council tax, is used as a publicity vehicle for the ruling political groups.
The kind of information that council magazines normally provide, as a service to local residents, is ignored if inconvenient to the Labour/LibDem coalition. For example, it didn't even mention that our local library was to be closed.
I never thought I'd support a Tory, but I'm with Matt Davis on his proposal to cut the council's propaganda budget and use some of the money to reopen St James Street Library.
If the LibDems had a shred of principle left they would support this. Then maybe we could keep fiction in novels, where it belongs.
