Last week Ministry of Truth revealed the link between a black country pub which was potentially having its licence revoked over problems with serious violence and the British National Party. In an excellent follow up today it would appear that Sandwell BNP Councillor James Lloyd (elected on a law and order platform) not only didn't report a shooting in the pub, but also refused to co-operate with the police investigating the incident.
Given that the story got a 20 second mention on the local BBC brekkie news this morning and was running on Radio WM (so I'm told), its possible that there might be a report on Midland Today, tonight.
Not about the Ministry of Truth, but about the Ministry of Justice, is this the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? What do you think at? http://prisonersvoice.blogspot.com

I don't know about homeless so much as brainless in the case of John Salvage. He was on the Council for a couple of years and his only significant contribution was to vote in favour of a Labour resolution congratulating Sandwell for the way we had developed as a multicultural community.
Yes, I remember seeing that in the minutes - not exactly the BNP finest hour...

There certainly is community here Bob... or should I say communities? The Poles next door seem nice enough although it's hard to tell - after two years here anything further than good morning is still a wasted effort.
The illegal Sikhs at the end of the road seem to keep themselves to themselves. And the crack house is quiet at the moment. Only one old lady mugged in the last fortnight.
Still, at least it's not Cape Hill.
The working class white folk are digging in and most think enough is enough. Poor buggers don't have an ideology to blinker them, it's harsh reality that creates opinions round here.
All of the Polish people I've come across in my Ward seem to be "Working class white folk" actually, and their 'ideology', if they have one, could probably only be defined as the Roman Catholic Church. Bit like the Irish who came a generation ago, actually.
