It’s Melting Pot again tonight. ‘Is it?’ we hear you froth. Yes, it bally-well is. This session will see the region’s great and good (oh, and the parvenus from PRSD) gathering to watch top combos Civilian and Supenik strutting their stuff.
We’ll tell you all about it tomorrow, by which time you should be able to have a listen yersselves in our sexy downloads section. There may even be some pictures too. Pretty good, huh? Clue: yes.

It isn’t ‘arf odd some of the flotsam and jetsam that bob past us here at the People’s Republic news wharf, but we would not be doing our job if we didn’t tell you about at least a few of them. And we deal with such a broad church of (lefty) thinking, that this just might appeal. . . If you’re under 30, want your say and think politics are important, why not join Torbay Conservative Party candidate Marcus Wood for drinks, conversation and a rousing rendition of The Internazionale (the party’s under new leadership, don’t you know) and other songs from The X-Factor? The shindig is on Thursday, November 23. Get in touch with the Torbay Tories for more details.

We’re all fans of congestion charging (no, we are - put your hand down, I’m getting to it), but surely (here it is) they have to be used in conjuction with an integrated transport policy (where did that idea go, eh John Prescott?).
Without effective and efficient public transport which can be used at convenient times, the proposal of Exeter City Council to impose congestion charging is just another way of raising money, cynically hidden beneath the veneer of environmentalism - and that ain’t good for anyone.
We have a largely rural population which can only be served by the car. But knowing what Exeter City Council is like these days, maybe they only want people who can pay to get on the streets on the streets, if you see what I mean. They might clutter up the new development else. . . Heaven help you if you’re not shrink-wrapped and sparkly - but more on the council’s attitude to the farmers’ market at a later date.
