It does not surprise me that Rutland County Council refises to release this information.

Cllr Terry King turned very nasty in the early days when I asked a simple question about the original presentation. Did Cllr King declare it was his company shown in the presentation. to this date he and the
council have refused to answer that simple question.

Looking at further Tweets it appears the Digital Rutland Contract Signed by Helen Briggs Chief Executive
of Rutland County County Council has been leaked. If its sent to me I would be happy to publish it.

Digital Rutland, Rutland Telecom, BT, Tory Roger Begy Distributes Cllr Richardson Private Email

Digital Rutland, Rutland Telecom, BT, Tory Roger Begy Distributes Cllr Richardson Private Email

Cllr Richardson wrote to Tory Councillor Pocock

It has been raised with us that the handling of the Broadband has involved illegal
activity, which is now being taken to the European Courts. This again is under your
Portfolio and one would expect an immediate briefing of all members with an
indication of what investigation is taking place and any subsequent action to be
recommended.

If this happened to a Government Minister he would be expected to resign, since it
is under their watch. The same applies to yourself if these allegation are true.

There maybe some truth in the above as I received emails from a person claiming to be the former
chairman of Rutland Telecom, his emails were very similar to Cllr Richardson's. and a quick trace 
of the ip address showed the email originated from a playroom, in Uppingham and included his name.

Interestingly since Rutland County Council dropped their support for the company some
strange events have happened, Rutland Telecom street equipment has been damaged in villages
and police are currently investigating two breakins at the Uppingham telephone exchange resulting 
in only Rutland Telecoms Service being switched off.

What I can't understand is why anyone would want to do that and how would they know what to 
look for does the exchange label each provider?

Paralympics opening ceremony 2012 Video The Paralympic motto is "Spirit in Motion" Sponsors Sainsbury's & BT




                   
                   
                   
                   
             
Paralympics opening ceremony 2012





The symbol of the Paralympic Games is composed of three "agitos", coloured red, blue, and green, encircling a single point, on a white field. The agito ("I move" in Latin) is a symbol of movement in the shape of an asymmetrical crescent. The Paralympic symbol was created by the Scholz & Friends agency and approved in April 2003.

The colours of the agitos with the white background stand for the three colours that are most widely represented in national flags around the world. The three agitos encircle a centre point, to emphasize "the role that the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has of bringing athletes from all corners of the world together and enabling them to compete". The shape also symbolises the Paralympic vision "To Enable Paralympic Athletes to Achieve Sporting Excellence and to Inspire and Excite the World".

This Paralympic symbol was first used in publications and other products in 2003. Due to limited time before the 2004 Paralympic Summer Games in Athens, the new symbol was not used by participating delegations during the Games. At the 2004 Closing Ceremony however, the flag that was handed over to Beijing had the new symbol. The symbol was first used in a Paralympic emblem at the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games in Torino.
