July 6 2012.
What a week! The Newhaven Incinerator is open - but they never invited anyone who might not come. Or indeed anyone who might, apart from the odd, carefully screened and approved bod or two. And, apparently, the Newhaven Incinerator isn't actually called the Newhaven Incinerator. Oh no. The Newhaven Incinerator is in fact called the Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility. Yeah right. So what will everyone in the real world call it? That's right. The Newhaven Incinerator. And of course Newhaven's Lewes Road Rec was sold off in a rush to a company that no one appears to know anything about. And we should all be happy about it according to our Lords and Masters in Lewes. But they don't want to tell us why. Well that's all right then... And of course that wasn't the only surprise. Apparently Barclays hasn't been playing fair. Well, well, well. At least the weekend is here and we can all pretend what we matter for a day or two. So get out there and support your local events and businesses and forget about any liars, cheats, thieves and con-men who will surely get what is coming to them one fine day.....
