Power to the People, Part I

Yay, it's my sort of show! Showing on BBC 2 as I write, Michael Portillo is heading around parts of the country, talking to disaffected voters and ordinary people. He even started with Liverpool, which definitely gets ignored by national politicians in my view.

He's in Hartlepool at the moment, where everybody knows Stuart Drummond, the Mayor who used to be Hartlepool United's mascot. He got elected directly, and to be honest, I'd like to see that happen in Falmouth. It would be a good start.

Back to the show: he's in Doncaster now. Peter Davies, Mayor of Doncaster, is incredibly outspoken. Dear me.

More in a bit! Shouldn't type and watch tv at the same time, really.
