The gently upbeat BiNS makes me happy. It’s run by someone for no money (and sometimes fewer thanks) by someone with a palpable affection for their city.
Forward is a council-sponsored propaganda rag with plenty of ‘good news’ but no personality and even less credibility. If it wasn’t foisted on every household in the city I doubt anyone would ask for it. I almost feel sorry for the thing.
By all means stick the latter on the web and call it #Birmighamproudtobeabrummie (sic). I know which I’d rather read.
UPDATE: Fairy nuff.
Hooray for B:INS!
Boo to MPs calling for websites to be closed down in their search for soundbites. And boo to MPs who don’t/can’t get fairly simple context-based jokes.
You linked to Birmingham Forward on the BiNS link… Not sure if that’s a deliberate comment, but I doubt it.
Gah, dammit. Amended that – cheers for picking up on it.
