agree with that

I think that's a great idea. Although I wouldn't be too surprised if the BBC run scared of getting involved in any 'political' issue ?

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Good idea.

Nice idea, but you can guarantee that this award will go to someone who works with disadvantaged/disabled kids etc, that's more the kind of thing the BBC would want to be assoicated with than a quasi-political campaigner.

 

[b.w.2.]

Probably right about the political thing, but imagine the publicity this could generate for the cause...

 

[Bwian]

It's probably no bad thing trying to get him nominated while we await the inquiry.

It'll possibly get some publicity which will keep our campaign in JP's mind. That can only be a good thing. My vote is to nominate him even though the Beeb won't entertain it-another bit of publicity if that were to happen too.

 

[Del Boy]

Good idea

 

[Wardy]

good idea but not sure he fits the bit about

I thought the same thing, but then thought that the Albion team will not be able to play if we don't get Falmer, because the club cannot survive without the new stadium...

Paul - what do YOU think about the whole idea?... and don't be modest...
