Great piece. David Rowland of CHPI is a fantastic ally doing amazing work. He’s been instrumental in my Paterson research.

I’ve been campaigning to stop Birmingham’s libraries closing. One of the major issues is Bham council (they of the bins) want libraries to be run by local volunteers, not trained independent librarians. That is how you get censorship and takeovers by special interest groups.

The community that comes with writing a piece for regional publications is always a perk. 🕊️ Sparkbrook’s pigeon plague: “This article had me hooked and giggling from start to finish.” “Very entertaining piece!” “Loved the storytelling though on this one. Gave me a good chuckle.”
