Various things

Tories want to give council tenants money to buy in the private sector - how, exactly, do they get from "social housing as a transitory stage" to "transforming council estates so that people have a sense of local pride and ownership"? Surely the effect would be exactly the opposite - no impetus to care about the local surroundings because you wouldn't expect to be there long?

ION: date I received "please pay us money" letter from LSBU: Fri 31 Aug (after 5pm so could not phone immediately). Date money is due: Tue 4 Sep. Number of times I have so far phoned, got answerphone, and left my number, name, student number, etc (as per request on answerphone): 3. Number of times I have been called back: 0.

(If they refuse to give me my discount for paying on time because of this I will be Very Very Cross Indeed.)

Many more pedestrians than average in Hyde Park. It would be nice if some of them kept up the walking when the tubes return...
