One thought on “Opencast Quarrels Rampage Again

  1. An amazing video! I guess its production a ‘little App’, maybe like the one referred to by David Marrs in his keynote presentation to the PI last night and, maybe, we can expect to see it in use again.

    Something quite remarkable is going on in Leadgate Club and I guess the Public Inspector – a nice, very professional lady (who might or might not have been born in South Shields) – is trying very hard to put her finger on it. I sincerely hope so.

    Why here and why now? Is it because there is such obvious passion by so many people? Hardly, this of course is something not formally allowed in such matters. Or Is it because, by accident or chance, the right things have at last been said, by the right people in the right way, in the right place at the right time!
    Should we name everyone that stood up and spoke out? If we did it would offend those that didn’t and if we do it might cause difficulties for some that did.
    We’ll never know why but let’s not even remotely risk looking a gift horse in the mouth and we’ll never get another chance. The Pont Valley Network, please note network, is a common factor in a massive amount of good being done and it isn’t only a committee-thing. People that don’t always conform teaming up with people that usually do and, let’s hear it for a well-worn phrase, actually begin Working Together!
    So here’s the deal. Use us, keep this going, break the habits of a lifetime and get back to where we started and let’s not reinvent the wheel. Makes no sense to me either but have the trust and confidence to now do the right thing – and give us some help.

    Who Cares Wins.
