G BROOKING Liberal spending

-

are paid to do without any such fear or, in this case, lies and intimidati­on. If Robinson or his supporters breach the new order then they should be arrested, charged, and if found guilty, jailed.

I wish the journalist in question all the very best with the story too because it takes a brave person to stand up to Robinson's evil.

It makes me wonder how much of his political funding has been spent over the years on legal costs for his criminal behaviour.

Journalist­s should be free to do what they have trained to do and what they are paid to do without any such fear

Having read the recent edition of Flagship, I was delighted to see that the city's finances were in such a healthy state and readers were informed of where some of their money was to be spent.

The most money – £10.5m – is to be spent on the new sport and leisure facility at Bransbury Park, replacing the acting swimming pool at Eastney and facilities at Wimbledon Park. Another £2.5m is to be spent on redevelopm­ent of the Pyramids.

With money still in apparent abundance, the city council plans to save the Theatre Royal by purchasing it, and then leasing it.

I have read, and re-read Flagship to see what money was being spent in the part of the city not located on Portsea Island, but quick as the city is to collect our council tax, precious little seems to find its way back.

If so many millions can be spent in the south of the city, is it unreasonab­le to ask that the Drayton and Farlington Portakabin be replaced with the long-promised library and community centre?
