On being a Lesbian Councillor in Oxford...

Antonia Bance:

I thought I’d blog my week for you - unexpurgated, complete with all the vegan-food-and-sandals-101 classes and the mentoring sessions with baby dykes, just so you can get the reality of being a Guardian-cack councillor.

Monday is a rare night off, so Jo and I promote lesbian lifestyles by going to the supermarket and blatently buying groceries.

Some of the irrelevent crap she has to deal with is utterly disgusting. When she writes about high-politics Westminster stuf, I rarely agree with her. But as a councillor? I wish her well, and the commitment she shows is commendable. Read the rest, it's a really good description, and the inserts are very well done.

(review of weekend to follow, am utterly exhausted, very relaxed and making more typos per sentance than correctly spelt words. Suffice to say, it was good)
