Didn't someone once mention Private Eye do a section about dodgy LAs?

How many times do I have to repeat it Musson old chap. WMDC DO NOT REPRESENT LABOUR IDEALS!!!
They are greedy, self interested opportunists who are interested only in how much expenses and salaries that they can extract out of thee and me !!!

That was me, Schunter, on many occasions. They have a section in each issue that exposes dodgy councils and their scams. Strangely I don't recall ever seeing WMDC mentioned

Surely this case is perfect because of the fact a lot of docs are there to be forensically examined and compared to the councils actions. I guess lawyers involved may put paid to it now

I seem to remember actually emailing Private Eye editorial staff some time ago suggesting they look into the situation as it was at the time, but nothing came of it.

It is better to fight and lose everything than merely lose everything because we didn't fight, because it's clear that we are on a fast-track to nowhere (or Toronto) if we sit back and wait.

As for your assessment of the grounds upon which we can win, that is why the club has engaged lawyers. They will advise. I'll trust their advice over the advice of anyone on here.

If this is true... and I don't doubt your word... then socialist and true Labour may be an ally in the forthcoming battle... are you in a position to mobilise them?

The section in Private Eye is appropriately called "Rotten Boroughs"

Oh do shut up you boring agenda driven troll. It's been explained a dozen times already, mostly to YOU!

There is no option and you know it so why not do one Jimmy.

People assume I'm a conservative, if I am it's very much to the left.

However I agree, Peter Box is a career politician who only represents himself. Thatcher and Ben were ideologically motivated politicians - not sure as yet regarding Corbyn.

However compared to Box he's flipping Kennedy.

As for a Tory council give me strength. They are every bit as low grade as theirs Labour equivalents. Usually second rate businessmen and Masosons in it for gain.

No im afraid the Law which is supposedly blind is our only hope. If we get the right judge then they are like kryptonite to people like Box. Fingers crossed.

Great to see support for the club on social media from fans of other clubs and the odd chairman. Last nights response from Denise Jeffery was shameful. I bet those at the top at not exactly 'welcoming' their opportunity in court. No response from my local councillor as of yet so i'm wondering if they are being Boxed in. The next council meeting is 22nd November at 2pm I wonder if Trinity will be on the agenda.

Having seen how nervous Box appeared at the Council Meeting earlier this year when the matter was discussed,it will be interesting to see how he reacts when being cross examined by a QC.Many years ago I appeared as a defence witness in a civil case and the way the defence QC challenged the opposition witnesses with his detailed knowledge of the issue was impressive.These guys earn big money but they earn it by the work they do prior to the court appearance and will have read and researched every statement and agreement relating to the case.If Box stands up and claims that minutes of meetings were not kept and he can't remember who gave any "legal advice" he will be torn to shreds.

I too was in the public gallery at that meeting and yes in a court room he would be exposed. I think there is every possibility he would stand down rather than have to succumb to his fate in the courts.
