Update 27-07-09: Have just been in touch with the House of Commons Information service, members of the public will be allowed to attend the “Regional Grand Committee” meetings.

---

I just heard on Radio 4’s “Any Questions” that the government is planning some  “Regional Grand Committee” meetings over the political summer “recess”.

A quick search brought up the following result. This is a great opportunity to let them know that we hate the English regions.

I will be demonstrating at the West Midlands “Grand Committee” on Thursday 8 October in Sandwell.

I will post more info as I have it. Anyone in the Midlands or willing to come along – please get in touch. I will make some placards or make your own.

We have enough notice to really make an impact and now is the time to act.

Anyone interested in joining me please email wyrdtimes[@]forengland.org
