Greenwich Watch makes the Mercury

You can't beat a bit of free publicity, and we've got that this week in the Mercury. They've reported on the issue of our logo and the Council's legal department (click image for larger version). Amusingly the Council spokeswoman said that "legal action was not threatened" and is then reported as saying if we don't agree to their request they will take legal action.

So let's just clarify, they're not threatening us with legal action but if we don't do what they say they'll take legal action? We're not quite sure what they can actually take legal action against us for though. We're not using their image, we're using an image that was inspired by them but is not theirs. At least they've moved away from the idiocy of claiming owenrship of "green".

AEG apology coverage

The coverage of our original stories (here and here) which were given prominence by an Iain Dale exclusive here, appear to be getting a lot of national coverage, so we thought we'd list them. And before anyone suggests we're milking it, can you blame us?

Not that we're boasting but...

Last week, here, an anonymous poster (presumably a member of the Council that dislikes us so much) said: "Are you that influential? No. You're regarded as something of a joke." See below for our considered response.


Onwards and upwards as a friend of our's recently said to us in an email!
