All go again

Been a very busy week indeed.

Monday I had a seat fitting in the Formula Ford racecar that I have been kindly lent to do testing in.

Was rather nevous that the clutch would be to hard to push with my bad leg put the engineer and a friend who races in the British GT Championship explained the method for racecar control is not as hard as I throught.

Was at a reception on tuesday night for the Norwich North Bye-election campaign some of the people there did not seem pleased to see me and serveral Gibson supporters even refused to shake my hand.

On wednesday had the fun of Chairing a Council meeting which was good and manged to get through the adoption of a Child Protection and Vulnerable adults policy.

Thursday was also a busy day as I attended the Building Britian's future event at Cambridge Guildhall and talked with the Chancellor about tax breaks for career changers wanting to do training and education.

Also spoke in the debate about the need for UK to create wealth by becoming a world leader in innovative engineering solutions.

Police scarecrow arrest what happened next

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2521729/Norfolk-police-arrest-scarecrow.html

Shortly after the police had taken the scarecrow to the police station he failed to answer questions.

This means the scarecrow was treated as a terrorist suspect and handed over to anti terrorist police.

Despite being questioned by Britian's finest anti terrorist police the scarecrow would not answer the details of the planned plot for blowing up the Bacton Gas Terminal and was handed over to the Americans for some more detailed questioning.

The scarecrow when soaked in in water fell apart and yeilded no information useful to the prevention of terrorism.
