It is a good job that I like to be busy. Monday is of course the first working day of the week, as if you needed me to remind you.
In the evening I attended the Overview Joint Scrutiny Commission meeting in the council house. OJSC is always an interesting meeting but on this particular evening it was not to be my only one.
The West Midlands Regional Meeting took place at a large venue in Coventry. The meeting started late due to unexpected major road closures and as the time grew near I was the only speaker that had made it.
Alwyn Deacon, Regional Organiser and candidate for the Camp Hill by-election, opened the meeting. The room was packed. Not only was every seat taken but in the available floor space people were shoulder to shoulder.
I had the honour of being the first speaker. I always enjoy speaking engagements and managed to score a few laughs as well as getting across my points about the importance of communication, leadership and normalisation in the armoury of every member of the British National Party.
James Whittal was second speaker and he left no-one in any doubt about his opinion of the people who seek to irreversibly change our culture and traditions.
There was a short break after which the party chairman Nick Griffin addressed the crowd. Nick covered a myriad of topics in quick succession. If you have never heard the chairman speak live you have missed a treat.
This is one of my favourite pictures.
Alwyn Deacon and myself with campaign election agent Tom Gower. With a team like that you know that you can get things done.
Debbie moved around a lot and took many pictures of the evening. I have selected a couple of favourites.
Tuesday brought a meeting of the Social Scrutiny Panel. This meeting went on a bit but in the name of comprehensive scrutiny of the councils policies and performance reviews I did not mind.
I have not detailed the ward work that has taken place, meetings arranged and events bookings confirmed via e-mail. The diary is looking full which is exactly how it should be for a busy ward councillor. Did I forget to mention the by-election? Leaflets do not write themselves. I try to get ideas down whenever I can.
