@essjayjay @pluralistic I think so too. And the current hasty, botched, ill-prepared proposal to increase the number of local authorities by about 150 *while keeping the number of councillors the same* is another example of the #SNP's phobia of having an educated, experienced, engaged #CivicSociety.
The reason our politicians are so useless is that we don't have an apparatus to train them. The reason we don't have an apparatus to train them is our politicians rightly fear new talent.

User reviews on imdb can no longer be read without an account.
Once again I am reminded that social media is too important to leave to corporations.
What a terrible thing to do to everyone's generous contributions over the last 35(!) years.

I had the privilege of serving as a judge for the Abdelkader Global Citizenship Prize college contest entries. This experience was truly an honor. #interfaith #pluralism #civicsociety #leadership #citizenship #globalcitizenship www.abdelkaderproject.org
Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice, because while “one may protest against evil; it can be exposed and prevented by the use of force, against stupidity we are defenceless.
Last time I wrote, “God Almighty, please don’t give us the leader Nigerians rightfully deserve .…
The question we must answer is, “Do Nigerians deserve the Peter Obis and the Baba Ahmed Dattis of this dispensation?”
Aren’t we more than deserving of the heisters who are perpetually grasshopering our famished land?
Am I a brutal idiot, a tribal warlord, or a citizen dedicated to nation-building?
The answers we get, from you and me, will determine how long Nigeria keeps skirting the precipice.
The fortunes and the future (or no future) of Nigeria depend on the cumulative answers Nigerians give to that question.
In that case, if optimism does have a middle name, it’s likely to be called Nigeria.
Whaaat?
“You must be kidding me.” I can hear you say.
In a 2011 poll, Nigeria was tagged as the world’s most optimistic country.
That was back then. These days, and sadly so, Nigeria is a bye-word to even her citizens.
Twenty minute Alnwick: we reckon that every bank in Alnwick can be reached in a ten minute walk from almost any 19th century building. But almost all of Alnwick’s post-war housing is more than ten minutes walk from a bank. Is this your experience? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
The twenty-third door in our 2022 Advent Calendar. For use in emergency only? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
What might we find behind the twenty-second door in our 2022 advent calendar? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
It’s too late for this Christmas, but where will we find the 21st door on our 2022 Advent Calendar? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
We chose an ancient doorway for the nineteenth example in our 2022 Advent Calendar. Or did we? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
The eighteenth door in our 2022 Advent Calendar was designed by a Newcastle architect and antiquarian, who was well-known in his day. Many of his buildings have been listed by Historic England. But not this. #Alnwick #CivicSociety
Door seventeen of our 2022 Advent Calendar is on a building that was constructed more than two hundred years ago. Where is it, and why? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
Another door to a building in #Alnwick that is no longer used for its original purpose. #CivicSociety
Door Number 13 in our 2022 Advent Calendar. Where are we now? Wherever it is, they want us to keep left. #Alnwick #CivicSociety
Two small C16/17th houses and alleyway were bought by John Lambert in 1811, refaced and enlarged. Sold to William Dickson in 1861, then occupied by Dickson, Archer & Thorp until 2003. Vacant and still on 2022 Heritage at Risk Register, but priority reduced after urgent repairs. #Alnwick #CivicSociety
Advent Calendar, number 12. Do you recognise this vacant and vulnerable building? #Almwick #CivicSociety
Adevent Calendar 2022 - Number 11. The building is well known, and there are clues. But does that make it easy? Not necessarily. #Alnwick #CivicSociety
Can you identify the tenth door on our 2022 Advent Calendar? Easy if you know the answer. Difficult if you don’t. #Alnwick #CivicSociety
Door number eight is the North Chapel at Alnwick Cemetery, which dates from 1856. It was designed by Alnwick architect FR Wilson, and built by the local firm of Armstrong and Hudspeth #Alnwick #CivicSociety
We asked Open AI: "Should I join Alnwick Civic Society?"
OpenAI answered: "That decision is entirely up to you. It would depend on your interests and goals. If you are interested in the history, culture and development of the Alnwick area, then the Alnwick Civic Society could be a great fit".
Designed by one of our Alnwick Heritage Heroes and built by others. Do you recognize the eighth door in our 2022 Advent Calendar? #Alnwick #CivicSociety
If you recognise the seventh door in our 2022 Advent Calendar, then you won’t need the sign. If you don’t recognise it, then the sign won’t help.

#OnThisDay 2 Dec 1931: A New Alnwick Branch Library opens. In the afternoon a van journeyed from the headquarters of the library in Morpeth with 700 volumes (100 for each thousand of the population) and these were conveniently shelved in a large room in the Old Duke’s School. #Alnwick #CivicSociety
After a rocky start they overcame the inherent tensions that are concealed in that statement of intent. More of the story here - https://alnwickcivicsociety.org.uk/2020/08/27/mechanics-institute/ #Alnwick #CivicSociety
