How About Some Good Old Zero Tolerance?

I reckon this is one for Nottingham City Homes to have a look at, and maybe the police too.

There's a somewhat alarming report on Notts Indymedia by somebody who saw a couple of nazi flags being flown from the window of one of the Victoria Centre flats.

The photo in the report isn't as clear as it could be so there may be an element of taking the report author's word for it but presuming  the flags are as stated, i.e. a white power one and an AWB emblem then I suspect that somebody may well be in breach of their tenancy agreement at the least and is probably committing a public order offence.

Now this may be entirely unconnected but, as the comment below the article states, failed BNP Parliamentary candidate for Nottingham North just happens to live in the flats. I have no idea whether that's his flat the flags are flying from but presumably NCH does. And if it's not his I presume it shouldn't be too difficult for them to work out which flat it is and pop round for a visit.

It's funny because normally council officials are very quick to go and remove unauthorised banners in the name of combatting anti-social behaviour, as a little old lady in Clifton and the odd local campaign group would be able to testify. Maybe they haven't got a head for heights?

NCCLols is on suicide watch

4469 people from Nottingham voted for the BNP.

To think that I might have inadvertantly been nice to some of these people.

Depressing beyond belief, although at least none of their candidates got elected in the East Midlands.

Anyway, the off topic day became an off topic long weekend, back to normal business tomorrow.

Positive Action

If you go over and have a look at the Nottingham City Homes site and go to the section for the Homes4Us forum, for some reason the links to the last two meeting's minutes don't work, just giving a 404 'not available'.

By a stroke of luck they were up there before and I managed to download them onto my pda but for some reason I couldn't open them. I'm now in the internet cafe and have managed to have a look.

Those for 9 January seems pretty inconsequential so not sure why they've been taken down. However, the one for 23 February contains the following news -

"At the Emergency Meeting [18 February] it was agreed that the Vice Chair should resign or be excluded"

The Vice Chair was your and my favourite BNP activist and all round beardy chump Jason Cotterill-Attaway who we wrote about before.

I'm extremely pleased that NCH have taken this decisive action and I only hope that the reason for these minutes being taken off the site isn't any kind of legal shenanigins. BNP scum have no place on committees like this and in my view only join up to try and garner respectability and push their poisonous message where it has no place.

Thats good news. I said once before that wouldn't happen here often but I'll happily write up news like this til the cows come home.

Note; the minutes are now downloadable here.
