nothing, as a lot of this hasn't. just setting up to make CCC / ACL look like the bad guys
What's that got to do with illegal financial assistance excactly?
Herbert Art Gallery is a Trust isn't it?
Also, a fine example for a rant about government funding things based on economic rather than social considerations, as their funding from local givernment has been slashed to an inch of its life!
I think everyone's funding has been slashed to be fair, though I can't speak highly enough of the Herbert personally and agree with your point. That's what you get in a country run by bean counters quite frankly.
Thanks. In fairness I buy things under the block exemption and don't lend money to my pet companies.
I'll take my 'expertise' elsewhere!

And Michael Byng enters the room.
I went to the Herbert once to a dinosaur "exhibition", think I spent about £35 - £40 for 3 of us and got in there and there were 4 plastic dinosaurs. Awful!
It has. Heritage is a soft target though. Despite not having a big proportion of the budget, it's an easy thing to cut horribly and then point to as an example of how they're keeping hospitals and schools open (conveniently forgetting the ways somewhere like the Herbert can work with schools, and take a small amount of pressure off them, too).
And culture is what defines us from the savages!
Sisu QC says council’s Chris West said “hell would freeze over” before Sisu got a stake in the stadium.
Judge puts it to Sisu QC that: “Sisu at all times was insisting on having a stake in the stadium.” Says Sisu was only interested in a deal that included share in the Ricoh.
Sisu QC says Sisu would have done a deal that included a share in matchday revenues. He says Coventry City paid the highest rent but also got the lowest share of revenues - nothing

Do the Council/ACL QC's get to rebut SISU's rebuttal? This could go on a while yet.

Do you have to pay to get into the Herbert? I'm sure I'd never have gone if you did. I think you probably went into McDonalds by mistake.
So are you saying that the matches held at the RIcoh during the London Olympics could have possibly been held at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen?Well, the money is given to a stadium management company.
The stadium is used for international matches - the Olympics in 2012 for instance.
So in theory the Ricoh could be competing with other venues within the EU.
Council QC did his best to blur this, but saying Coventry isn't metropolitan like Copenhagen may not be enough.
The prudential borrowing increased the council's exposure by 155% from 12/13 according to their website. Wonder what the original £9m was for.
As this has turned into MumsNet, anyone been to ThinkTank in Birmingham? Was thinking of taking the little one.
Anywhere that gets my 4 year old into art (and is open on a rainy day) is OK by me. I don't really do the exhibitions to be fair.

Dude. The name of the account is Les Reid Politics. It's obviously a professional account. And again, even if it is a personal account, he was dealing with customers. I'm often found on personal accounts by people I have a professional relationship to, or who would impact my professional standing, I'm self aware enough to not speak to them like shit no matter what I think of them. And mate, check the news, people are sent to jail for things they say on Twitter.
Edit: dammit! You got me. Sorry ccfcway. I'm staying out of it.
