I am starting to feel that Barnet is in the eye of a perfect storm. Those of you who study meteorology and have experience of sailing know that you need a combination of factors for a perfect storm. In Barnet we have a stupid and arrogant council which is reaching meltdown, fuelled by a Tsunami of highly paid (and highly greedy) consultants, further fuel is added by some extremely vain councillors who really believe that they are in some way, shape or form slightly better than the rest of us. In Fukoshima power stations, water is being pumped onto melting nuclear rods to stop them catching fire. Sadly our council think the best cure for a fire of stupidity is pour more petrol (and taxpayers cash) on it.

We need to put this fire out, before we all get burned. In the absence of the water of common sense, all I can suggest is cutting off the oxygen of support by campaigning and hard work (and no free for pot noodle for the first person to comment on the traditional way of putting out a fire when someone you don't like is in trouble).

Much appreciated. And yes, you're right - Barnet is at the centre of something important. Bloggers are doing the best work on council cuts, too, at Barnet and around the country.
