Yeah i liked that bit too. Bet Uncle Harry now does a vanishing act

I somehow doubt it. He's become something of an expert in answering questions that were never asked, while avoiding those that have been asked of him. Over the last week or so, I've sometimes felt I've been living in a parallel universe

or the House of Commons!

You need to look up what assertion means. I've seen you use it a couple of times and each time had little substance if you're using it properly.

As for the section you've highlighted, it more contradicts your position than the one you keep trying to claim is mine. It also says it's a decision based on recommendation for a position, but doesn't say who proposed the motion.

These errors of yours probably explain why you need to make odd claims about my position in all this, despite me spelling it out several times.

Hardly, given the point I was responding to and the way these things work.

I believe it was the Lib Dems that moved the motion for a full council meeting with regards to a referendum (muddying the waters somewhat). Agree with your comments, it's an utter waste of time and money when more important issues need addressing in this city.

There is nothing more important than Allam's dream - FACT

If those stupid councillors would only realise that once the Sporting Village is built, all will be well within the City & County of Kingston upon Hull. Coucil tax will plummet because there will be no need for a police force, the courts will resemble a public library, not that we'll be needing any public libraries because all the kids will be in school (when they're not playing squash at the Sporting Village), learning that squash is the way forward. Vandalism will cease overnight, kids will be playing sport (squash hopefully), in the Sporting Village. Hull FC will change its name to Hull Rugby League Football and Squash Club. Hull City will announce they have sold 37,000 season tickets, just prior to playing the newly-combined Manchester United and City teams in the Charity Shield.

Siemens will not come to Hull because all the available land will have been snapped up by even higher tech industries, we shall become known as The Silicon Estuary. People across the City will be humming the sort of music that used to be played in the lifts in Hammonds and butterflies and bluebirds will flit in all the streets.

Allam will be rightly recognised by receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Committee will inaugurate a new prize for sporting excellence and Mr Allam will receive it in perpetuity.

All it takes is a little foresight and imagination.

I think I can hear matron and the rattle of the tea cups and medicine dispensing, I'd best be off now.

Ta ta

hull will be renamed Allamtopia

I like that. Will they bring back the "big screen" and have him smiling benevolently from every TV screen too?

George Orwell may just have been 30 years out, by 2014 all could come true

Indeed. The Hull Daily Mallam and Radio Assemmerside are already censoring our protesting voices... Certainly have to conjugate thoughts in Doublethink when attempting to communicate with Funny Uncle Harry.
