38 Weeks On

Nominations have been closed for 38 weeks, so when is the election?

If you know, you know.

    An odd little consequence of the miners' strike. Take out the NUM, and who do they even ask to suggest names?

      You have a point. Durham City has its posh university, its teaching hospital, its public school that even in its present form dates from 1414, and its role as a major centre of the Church of England. The less coaly south of the county has a bit in the way of squirarchy and that sort of thing.

      But the old coal and steel belt? As you say, without the NUM, then where does one even begin to look? And the NUM went away a long time ago. Once you have taken out the people with potential conflicts of interest, the already overcommitted, and the emphatically retired, then even out of, say, 90,000 people, you can arrive at one name. This I know, because twice in six years, that one name has been David Lindsay.
