This is going to end up looking like Twitter if I'm not careful

But this local free sheet is the gift that just keeps on giving. First up we have the news that Mind in Croydon rather then being disavowed by the Mind UK umbrella and stripped of it's charity status has just been awarded a £6000 Croydon PCT grant and a £200,000 National Lottery grant.Then there's this story;



Which like the front page story in my last post reads an awful lot like incitement. I should point out that campaign has been up and running for the best part of a year and has been driven mainly by the local COE church so if you'd gone with the idea that the Croydon Free sheet was only publishing these stories to act as a warning then you've lost a bet. Likewise if you were led to believe that the recent upswing in violence was orchestrated so Croydon Council would be given enough rope to hang itself the Gordon Brown camp have misled you. Central government has had enough evidence to act against Croydon Council since mid-2006. Besides if they were permitting the action to gather evidence against Croydon Council why on earth didn't they put together an evidence gathering team.

I really did expect more from the national media, especially the Cleopatra veterans of the BAC.
