Hence, it is not truly democratic at all because if it was left all the people who live in RBK&C, I am sure that any subsidy for Opera Holland Park would be cease immediately.. draycottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-75479469055455505612014-11-26T17:42:42.390+00:002014-11-26T17:42:42.390+00:00Who is Nick Pagett Brown?

Having reviewed the lack of public services in the rotten borough, he immediately grasped why there's money to throw at HPO and similarly self-serving "jollies" for councillors and their cronies. They simply spend our money on their own interests rather than those of the public, safe in the knowledge that nothing short of a black maria at the front door will force them out. A disgrace.
