Grateful I'm able to smell flowers when many cannot
Apr 22, 2018I THINK HOLDING A VOTE ON THIS IS A CRASHING WASTE OF TIME
I’m not entirely sure what Portsmouth City Council hoped to achieve by holding a vote on whether to advise residents to vote ‘leave’ or not when it comes to the EU referendum.
Are we really supposed to pay attention to what the council ‘recommends’ we do? Or are we supposed to make up our own minds?
What a crashing waste of council time – and does this mean that it’s now the council’s money that’ll be spent trying to influence the electorate, rather than the political parties’ pennies? If so, it gives new meaning to the term petty cash.
It’s March. The vote is in June. And even with two separate rounds of purdah gagging our elected officials, there’s unfortunately still plenty of time for them waste our money on this.
EU chiefs might pass ‘silly rules’, as the city council leader said in last week’s lengthy meeting, but it doesn’t seem to have a monopoly on passing silly motions.

U21 Derby: Lavery on target as Wednesday's youngsters claim derby spoils against the Blades
Apr 22, 2018Wednesday's U21s beat their Sheffield United counterparts in a mini-Steel City derby at Hillsborough this afternoon.
Lavery, who impressed on loan at Portsmouth earlier this season, opened the scoring with a header from Elliott Percival's exquisite cross. And after Jack Stobbs had put Wednesday 2-0 ahead with an assured finish, Lavery missed the chance to make it three when his penalty went well wide of George Willis' goal.
Wednesday, fielding Cameron Dawson in goal, started brightly and the visitors - who included trialists Daniel Akinwumni, a right-back from Reading, and Leicester centre-half Connor Anderson - struggled to establish a foothold in the game. The bright David Brooks had an early chance for United but with Alex O'Hanlon looking lively, Wednesday started to threaten.
Stobbs flashed a free-kick into the side-netting after Louis Reed had fouled Lavery, and Nathan Lowe drilled a shot wide of Willis' post. And the pressure told after just 18 minutes when Wednesday went ahead, Percival delivering from deep and Lavery heading home unmarked.
United looked to hit back immediately and almost levelled when Joel Coustrain's effort hit the crossbar, and Diego De Girolamo's follow up effort... http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/u21-derby-lavery-on-target-as-wednesday-s-youngsters-claim-derby-spoils-against-the-blades-1-7870698
