Shame John Morris has had to cancel.
I was thinking of popping along to listen to this. It would have been so nice - as a councillor - to have had the benefit of his thoughts on the future of Haringey's Library Service. It might even have been a quicker way to catch a glimpse of what's happening, than putting in Freedom of Information Act requests.

Yes; I will attend the/any re-scheduled meeting.
Alan, I'm sure you're not counting each day to your retirement as councillor. However, I'm equally sure that you must look forward to the day when you can speak out as you believe, freely and forthrightly, unfettered by party politics and the constraints of local government.

That day arrived many years ago, Clive. Except with me it's not simply what I "believe", but what to the best of my current knowledge is accurate, balanced and truthful.
And as I have often suggested to you, it sometimes means doing things we find uncomfortable or even unpleasant. Like listening to and reading and reflecting on ideas and facts which don't fit our existing view. And acknowledging when we get something wrong.
That's a tall order, of course. But you have to try. I very much liked a comment by Simon Schama on the radio recently. He said historians need to flee from falsehood.
I think everyone does. Even politicians. That we should try to avoid our fate in e.e.cummings' poem.
