Hear no evil

Nearly every council in the UK keep recordings of major debates. This is in addition to the minutes and can be used if there is a dispute over who said what.

Not Nottinghamshire.

To do so would be an extreme embarrassment to such people as Ms Quigley when she ranted and raved over a petition she was forced to present. We must rely on eye-witnesses (see here for a report on Ms Quigley's performance). Recording equipment is banned from the public gallery so no chance of anyone providing evidence from there.

Of course the up-side is that we don't have to suffer Vogon poetry (reputed to be the worst in the universe). The down-side is that councillors can say and behave as they wish knowing it will go no further.

Unless of course someone has sneaked in a recording machine........
