I'm just about to email it to my local MP because it has quite a lot of contextual relevance to my own complaint about local corruption in Torbay. Might I suggest that the most effective way forward is to establish an independent watchdog into local corruption across the board. As a student of social policy, I'm finding most of the problems are 'structural' and can apply as much to a white Anglo-Saxon dissenter like me in the provinces. It's essentially about authoritarianism and outmoded constructs of peripheral police power that have outlived their purpose in the modern age. We just need to put the correct mechanisms in place to challenge it at a local level, that's all. Rgds Karen Hi Kiran,
