Newly appointed Commissioner Victoria DeFreese remarked in last week's Commission meeting that she had received "countless" e-mails, faxes, letters, and phone calls regarding the recent p-card audit.
Now, the Mayor's office has made a formal request to Commissioner DeFreese under the Tennessee Open Records Act requesting access to copies of all correspondence including letters, faxes, and emails she has received regarding the p-card audit, and also phone records and any logs or notes related to phone calls she has received about the audit.
Not sure why they would want to keep poking this hornet's nest with a stick. At any rate, I guess somebody will have to count them now. Wonder how many were from Paul Pinkston?
UPDATE: DeFreese responds, will hold a press conference at 3PM to discuss the request. According to the report, her position is that the correspondence is not public record. There's also something about "communication 'forged' by citizens." Probably not what she meant to say.
UPDATE: WBIR contacts an expert who says if the correspondence was received in transaction of public business then it is public record, adding "Ethically speaking, I don't know why (Commissioner DeFreese) would want to withhold it." Good question. Boxes and boxes of correspondence would certainly be embarrassing for the mayor. Why not just produce them?
UPDATE: From the KNS: "At any rate, DeFreese said she doesn't have any of the e-mails or other communications because she gets so many she doesn't keep them." Seriously? Game, set, match.
Now begins a complex legal debate
Does the Tennessee Open Records Act trump the First and Fourth Amendments of the United States Constitution?
Michael Silence says it does. Legal experts I have talked with say it doesn't.
The question is whether private citizens have an expectation to privacy when they communicate with their County Commissioners. What will the average citizen do if they think that anything they communicate to their Commissioner can become public record? They will cease communicating with their Commissioners. Is that what we need?
Is that the goal Mayor Ragsdale has in mind? Or is he just compiling another enemies list like the good old days of Tyler Harber.
No matter what the legal outcome of this is, this was criminally stupid of Ragsdale and people must question whether his service as Mayor have become counter productive to our County?
I guess I don't follow the
I guess I don't follow the 1st and 4th Amendment argument. DeFreese is an elected public official. Receiving and acting on correspondence from constituents is part of her official duties. Citizens corresponding with elected officials presumably want their remarks taken into account in conducting public affairs, which should be conducted in public. And isn't writing to elected officials sort of the point of the 1st Amendment?
I have never had any expectation of private correspondence when writing a public official, and don't see why anyone else would either unless it involved something of a highly sensitive nature such as a minor or an ongoing criminal investigation.
I have never had any
I have never had any expectation of private correspondence when writing a public official, and don't see why anyone else would either unless it involved something of a highly sensitive nature such as a minor or an ongoing criminal investigation.
It is more than emails, fax, and letters. It is phone calls and phone numbers. According to Betty Bean's article Ragsdale used the Chad Tindell emails which were stolen by Tyler Harber to create an enemies list. I would imagine any county employee who complained to DeFreese doesn't feel very good wondering if the Mayor will learn of their feelings towards him.
As far as concern over a criminal investigation, I think that hits the nail on the head. We give protection to whistleblowers, so does the Open Records act trump that protection?
We don't know the content of these communications. I would ask why the Mayor would seek this information. If these people did not contact the Mayor, then why would the Mayor feel they would appreciate a phone call from him? It looks like intimidation.
The CBT emails were private
The CBT emails were private correspondence and not public business. They were compromised by what some allege were illegal means. That seems different to me.
I suppose there is a whistleblower protection aspect to your argument. But many government agencies have procedures for that. Does Knox County? I don't know. On the other hand, a lot of anonymous whistle blowers can waste a lot of government official's time (and taxpayer's money) chasing down every wild accusation made by someone with an ax to grind.
Anyway, this just sounds like a case of a Commissioner making an exaggerated claim in a public meeting, and the offended party calling her on. As I said, though, I'm not sure why they want to keep poking at this hornet's nest.
exaggerated claim
true countless means incapable of counting.
in todays world one is capable of counting cell phone calls &
maybe should have said more than i can count.
i bet the commissioners have got tons or maybe just alot
of folks that have e-mailed or made cell phone calls to them
not to happy about the mayor's office.
i have not.i did in support of the charter review committee.
if those e-mails end up in the mayors office so be it.
i have agreed with tank..let the mayor respond..let the process begin april 23rd & the chips fall where they may.
dont know
I just dont know what falls under the open records act.
The Mayor could have a legal leg to stand on.
I just dont know why he wants to.
Not sure why they would want
Not sure why they would want to keep poking this hornet's nest with a stick.
My guess - I suspect the Mayor sees an opening to discredit someone who's going to keep poking him with a stick. DeFreese is Pinkston with more brains and a more pleasant manner.
And yes, she's running for 2010.
DeFreese tried hard before her appt to portray herself as objective and independent. She's been roughed up on that score (although anybody who's been paying any attention already knew she had a definite agenda).
That said, anything that puts her in front of the television cameras is probably a bad idea.
"It is our intent to contact
"It is our intent to contact as many citizens as possible that express concern over this issue, including those who contacted individual commissioners, the County Commission office and the Knox County Ethics Committee," states the letter, dated March 27 and signed by Dwight Van de Vate, the mayor's chief administrative officer.
That is a quote from the KNS article. I had heard that the letter was sent to all the county commissioners. That quote seems to confirm that rumor. It also seems that they are planning on contacting anyone who disagrees with the mayor. That would make people less likely to contact their elected officials in the future if they thought that it might result in any type of intimidation.
Open Records
I think you have to at least try to separate the politics from the issue. The reason someone wants a public record doesn't matter. We don't want judgement to be a part of any official deciding. The law, as I understood it from my days as a journalist (back when you had to shovel coal to keep the TV transmitter powered...it has been a while) the law is simple and clean: if you're a public official and you are given documents in your capacity as a public official it's a public record. The guide I always use: (link...)
open records are open records
I have to agree w/ Mike. And, I appreciate him linking the law.
I can't imagine anyone thinking that something in writing or on the computer is private and would absolutely never be shared by the receiver. As for private information, phone numbers are generally considered public information. Bank account and SSN are private. In some cases health issues are private. Otherwise, if it's there, it's public record.
It's a whole lot better than keeping secrets. I heard someone say once that we are as sick as our secrets. So, healthy is better.

I guess I don't follow the 1st and 4th Amendment argument.
So if the Bush administration starts taking detailed notes on all who oppose the war in Iraq, you'd have no problem with that?
By making your assumption that the right of the people "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances," should not be practiced assuming any degree of any anonymity on the part of the petitioner, because it has to do with government practices, then you are essentially calling for an end to everything from any private conversations with public officials to the use of a secret ballot system for voting, since that practice too relates to government operations.
I someone wants to sent an
If someone wants to send an unsigned letter or an anonymous email from a throwaway email account to a public official, that's their right and their business. It still becomes public record, and can be considered and even publicly commented on by the public official who receives it. In my experience, though, they take letters and other correspondence more seriously if they are signed.
If I write a letter to the President protesting the Iraq war, I assume it will be part of the public record, and if I'm an interesting enough person (which I'm not) I assume I might even go in a database somewhere. Big deal. "Taking notes" on me, as in investigating me, interesting person or not, would be entirely different, unless I gave them cause by making threats or something equally stupid.
Voting is totally different from correspondence.
So if the Bush

You don't think they're doing that already?
Actually Bush came to mind with this latest outrage from Ragsdale. So did Nixon. So did several Third World Dictators.
This is simple, is the United State Constitution the supreme law of the land? From the Magna Carta came "a man's home is his castle". The Constitutional guarantees the privacy of our homes and papers. Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
If the interpretation that the Open Records Act trumps the Constitution were true, every single Knox County Commissioner in history would have warned citizens that any and all communication to Commissioners could become public record.
No Commissioner has ever warned a citizen that their phone calls, notes, letters, faxes, or emails could become public. This will probably become a court case and once again we have Mayor Mike Ragsdale to thank.
Just like the Sunshine Law has been used as a tactical political weapon so has the Open Records Act. I hope the next Mayor will just do his damn job and leave the petty Tyler Harber "Art of War" crap alone.
The letter to Commissioner DeFreese is posted at the Knox County web site, (link...)
Also posted there is an example of the cover letter sent last week to citizens who wrote the Ethics Committee, as well as a copy of the letter sent to members of the Ethics Committee who are not County Commissioners (to discourage further conspiracy theories, the reason it was sent only to non-Commission members is that Commissioners have long since received the audit response).
Dwight Van de Vate
Chief Administrative Officer
Knox County Mayor's Office
The letter to Commissioner
The letter to Commissioner DeFreese looks quite different. Where any other Commissioners sent a letter similar to Commissioner DeFreese?
Has the Mayor's office at any time ever warned private citizens that their communications were subject to public disclosure?
For example, if a person calls the Mayor's office, are they told their phone number will be recorded and may be made public?
Bush comment by Gary
The President would not be covered by the Tennessee Open Records law. This is a TN General Assembly act and applies only to Tennessee.
But I will tell you this, while there may be times that you don't like what it allows to be made public, overall it is a very, very good law. And don't think for a minute that most public officals don't know the law. Many in Mayor Ragsdale's office, including the Mayor, note it on their e-mail signatures.
Tennessee is better off for having this law.
This is a bullying tactic, trying to deter citizen involvment
in the public debate regarding Ragsdale's spending habits and proclivity to throw the public's money around with absolutely nothing to show for the vast investment in his personal lifestyle.
I suspect that the local media is already onto this tactic and if DeFreese can maintain her composure in a press conference, not talk about reading to children, or talking about moving the community forward, not talking about a time to heal, then this may be the begining of the end of Ragsdale as these gestapo type tactics to ascertain opinions and data from the citizens of the county is about as bad as it gets.
will it play in the county precincts?
I think the number one question a Republican must ask themselves.
Will it play in those huge Republican county precincts.
I dont think this going play to good out in the county.
If dont play good..dont play it.
Wish these guys worked this hard recruiting new jobs
new industry and some realistic career opportunities to this community rather than play "gotcha" with an interim commissioner that voted against one of the administration's financial supporter's projects at the meeting last week.
We have a crisis in credibility in local government and hopefully Ms. DeFreese can make part of it go away this afternoon. Hopefully the mayor will resign and find some other budget to spend on rather than the public's money.
I contacted my commissioner (not DeFreese)
expessing my concerns about the p-card audit results and the competence of Mayor Ragsdale. After reading the letters that Mr. Van de Vate links to above, I would ask the mayor not to waste paper or time contacting me. I have already read his response to the audit and my opinion has not changed.
My Quick Reading Of The Open Records Act (TN)
Refers repeatedly to "official correspondence." Correspondence generated BY the elected official is OC. Correspondence TO the elected official is not. If I write notes about a constituent's letter, that's my work product, and would be covered.
This point is easily reinforced by the e-mail section which reads "[email] correspondence OF the employee" and not TO the employee.

Almost verbatim what my attorney told me. That was my read of the Open Records Act. This is a dark day. The only light came from Commissioner DeFreese.

>This is a dark day. The only light came from...
"Anonymously" my ass. I'd recognize the overwrought rhetoric anywhere.
Was Radsdale that paranoid at Mortons/ThePalm sipping fine wine
on the Knox County dime?
If he only knew how little the public cares for his position in life now, perhaps he would do whatever it is that the county mayor is supposed to do without spending all that money every day on purely personal expenses.

Show me a meaningful and aesthetically pleasing detail photograph (inside or out) of a classic car built no later than 60's.

Since the Harper poll of New Hampshire is pretty bad (landline only, "The fav/unfav numbers are so absurd it has to be a transcription error - Jay Cost, "That poll looks weird" - Harry Enten), we've still only got the UMass tracking poll to work with.
And in the tracking poll, one candidate is even, one is down, and one is up.
The guy who's even is Ted Cruz. He's up two points from before Iowa, but is holding steady at 14, for third place. His critics say New Hampshire is far too left-leaning for him.
In second place now is Marco Rubio. His detractors have called his movement in this poll "noise," but you don't randomly make a steady move from 8, to 10, to 12, to 15 after a shockingly good result in Iowa. Despite Jeb Bush's best efforts, and additionally the massive establishment spending through the Right to Rise PAC, Marco Rubio will not be denied. He's now in second place in the poll.
Donald Trump still leads, but he had his first movement since Iowa and it was negative. Being down two points isn't terrible news at all for him when he's still at 36, over twice Rubio's figure. I expect him to get the lion's share of the delegates in the state simply because of how non-proportional the state's delegate distribution is. You have to hit 10% to get delegates, or they go to the plurality winner. In other words, by staying in the race, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and John Kasich are handing delegates to Donald Trump.
All the guys in single digits should drop out now, and put country above self. For a change.

CSR plc (LSE: CSR; NASDAQ: CSRE) extended its leadership in Bluetooth® low energy technology today by introducing a collection of turnkey hardware and software solutions, based on the CSR µEnergy® platform, that OEMs and ODMs can customise to rapidly develop new and innovative Bluetooth Smart fitness, smart home and human interface products. Private demonstrations of these solutions include a smart LED lighting display featuring the integrated CSR µEnergy Bluetooth Smart platform that not only allows intuitive drag-and-drop control from an iPad® app, but also opens the door to enabling other Bluetooth Smart Ready systems throughout the home to control lighting, providing a more compelling user experience.
"CSR continues to drive innovation in Bluetooth low energy technology with compelling solutions that promote its rapid expansion into a broad range of Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Smart Ready products," said Paul Williamson, Director of µEnergy products at CSR. "Key to our success in this market is our development of the kinds of turnkey hardware and software solutions we are demonstrating at CES that our customers are using to rapidly develop custom designs and bring their products to market quickly and cost effectively."
Smart LED Lighting Control
CSR worked closely with PhotonStar LED Group plc, a British designer and manufacturer of smart LED lighting solutions, to create one of the most compelling demonstrations of how CSR µEnergy solutions enable smartphones, tablets and other smart devices to control systems throughout the smart home.
On its own, the advanced PSL LED lighting system is dimmable and colour tuneable. The addition of a CSR1000™ Bluetooth low energy chip massively increases the flexibility and intelligence of the lighting system by enabling lamps to be controlled individually or in groups using a CSR-developed iPad app which allows the creation of one-touch buttons to adjust the lighting in a room or portion of a room for reading, dining or watching movies, for example. Beyond this, the demonstration shows how easily control can be given to other smart devices in the home, such as enabling a smart media centre to automatically dim the lights in a home theatre when a movie starts or an alarm system to vary lighting throughout the home to deter intruders.
Smart Remote Control
CSR is also demonstrating a turnkey platform based on CSR µEnergy devices, with accelerometers and software to create an example design manufacturers can use to quickly develop the next generation of smart remotes for TVs and set top boxes. Using Freespace® MotionEngine™ software from Hillcrest Labs, the demo shows how products based on this turnkey CSR solution are able to employ gesture and voice commands to facilitate access to on-demand content, more easily perform searches and carry out more complex interactions with a smart TV.
Fitness Sensors
Continuing its focus on fitness-related applications, CSR is demonstrating two CSR µEnergy-based solutions for Bluetooth Smart foot pod and cycling sensors. Employing the CSR1000 device, accelerometers and proprietary algorithms based on CSR indoor dead reckoning technology, the foot pod demo calculates the pace of a runner and the distance covered and performs other functions using a CSR-developed iPhone® app. The cycle sensor similarly calculates cycle speed and cadence using an iPhone app, measuring both the rate of revolution of the bike wheel and also the pedals to provide training feedback that include pedalling rate, speed and distance based on wheel revolutions, as well as heart rate.
Windows® 8 Wireless Keyboards and Mice
Highlighting Bluetooth Smart Ready Windows 8 tablets and PCs, CSR is demonstrating wireless keyboard and mouse products from a number of ODM and OEM customers based on the CSR1000™ and CSR 1001™ µEnergy™ devices. With its built-in support for Bluetooth low energy HID devices, Windows 8 enables power saving, small form factor Bluetooth Smart keyboards and mice to connect directly without installing drivers or dongles and to achieve up to 10 years of operation from a pair of AA batteries.
Private, invitation-only demonstrations of these CSR Bluetooth Smart solutions are taking place during the International CES 2013 show in the Springhill Suites by Marriott, Las Vegas Convention Center, January 8-11. Attendees wishing to view these private demonstrations should contact CSR for an invitation.

Back in February Lucasfilm revealed six characters from their upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels, one of whom, Hera, was described as "strong-minded." Today at WonderCon, Executive Producer Dave Filoni and Vanessa Marshall, who voices the character, shared a short clip featuring Hera, and yes, that seems like an apt description.
In the clip, Hera is joined by the droid Chopper as she flies the not-so-friendly skies and takes on a couple of Tie Fighters:

Critics blast regulator's decision to allow blended N-waste at EnergySolutions' site
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Anti-nuclear activists were joined Tuesday by Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, in their criticism of a state regulatory agency's decision to allow EnergySolutions to accept blended nuclear waste in advance of completing new safety assessments at its Tooele County site.
The December decision by Rusty Lundberg, director of the state Division of Radiation Control, means EnergySolutions can accept up to 40,000 cubic feet of blended waste for disposal — or less than 1 percent of the total volume of waste the company can accept — at its facility in Clive.
HEAL Utah hosted a rally Tuesday at the Department of Environmental Quality prior to a meeting of the Radiation Control Board.
Linda Johnson, co-president of Salt Lake City's League of Women Voters, said she was at the rally representing herself and urged greater study of the issue.
"Since there is no pressing need, we shouldn't act rashly and gut our ban on hotter waste," Johnson said.
In the meeting afterward, Lundberg explained to board members the decision to allow the smaller quantities of blended waste in advance of EnergySolutions completing a site-specific performance analysis to deal with the unique stream of waste. As long as the material is still classified as class A radioactive waste after it is processed in Tennessee, the state of Utah has no "jurisdictional authority" to dictate the manner or policy implications that arise from processing the waste.
He said the decision conforms with a new rule adoped by the board earlier this year and a public comment on the decision begins Jan. 17 and concludes Feb. 17. Comments can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lundberg added that EnergySolutions will have to complete its update to a performance assessment that contemplates taking larger or significant quantities of blended waste. That assessment is due in December and will not only look at the "radioactivity" of the resins after processing but in particular examine the question of what constitutes "significant."
Matheson's criticism echoes concerns voiced by HEAL, specifically in asking why the division would put the "cart before the horse," and allow the waste in advance of the assessment being completed.
In a letter to Lundberg sent Monday, Matheson said he was surprised and concerned at the decision and says large-scale waste blending appears to be a "back-door" means to dispose of hotter levels of radioactive waste in a state like Utah — which specifically prohibits hotter class B and class C wastes.
Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon also voiced his disapproval, saying the decision to allow the waste is premature in advance of the analysis being completed.
Although the Radiation Control Board adopted a public policy statement in opposition to blending waste, it also conceded that at disposal it is no "hotter" than what EnergySolutions is already licensed to accept. With that understanding, the board said blended waste presents no greater threat to public health and welfare than the low-level radioactive waste received at Clive.
EnergySolutions has entered into a contractual partnership with Studsvik, a Swedish waste processing company with a facility in Tennessee, to receive waste that may contain resins with higher radioactivity that have been blended with low-level radioactive waste. The waste is then superheated through a process called THOR. The waste, although higher in radioactivity, is still considered within the threshold of class A waste.
"We are not trying to circumvent the ban on class B and C waste," said EnergySolutions' Mark Walker. "If it is anything greater than class A material, it won't come to Clive and regulators know it."
Earlier in the day, Amanda Smith, executive director of the state Department of Environmental Quality, said the board and Radiation Control Division are tasked with looking at the science of the material being accepted by EnergySolutions and if it meets the legal parameters contained within EnergySolutions' operating license.
"There's never been a question as to whether the facility can legally take it," she said. "While it will increase the level of radioactivity at the site, we know it is still well below what the site is licensed to handle and it remains protective of public health and safety."
Matt Pacenza, HEAL Utah's policy director, said the board and division should err on the side of caution and apply broader policy implications to regulatory rules that prohibit the hotter waste coming to Utah in any form — even if it has been processed to constitute class A waste.

Police have charged 67 people after the Undie 500 rally deteriorated into a weekend of violence in Dunedin.
Charges include breaching the temporary liquor ban, disorderly behaviour, obstruction and wilfully setting fire to property.
Most of those charged will appear in the Dunedin District Court on Thursday and Friday, with three appearing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister John Key has called the chaotic aftermath of the rally in Dunedin "madness", saying some of the alleged rioters had blighted their lives.
Scores of people were arrested while police dispersed mobs of around 600 drunken students gathering on Saturday and Sunday nights on Castle St.
Some students were likely to graduate with criminal convictions, which was a "waste of their futures", Mr Key said.
"They have had plenty of warning. This is just a sort of organised chaos down there," he told TVNZ's Breakfast programme.
The annual event, organised by Canterbury University engineering students, involves a pub crawl from Christchurch to Dunedin, in cars worth under $500.
About 90 percent of those arrested were Otago University students.
Dunedin's mayor has called for the rally to be banned, but some students say police over-reacted and they plan to complain to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
Police in riot gear ran out of pepper spray as they battled to control the crowds. Chants of "Let's start a riot", "F... the police," and "Scarfies on the piss" rang out.
Otago student Emma Newman said she was in "excruciating pain" after being pepper-sprayed at her front door.
"I didn't say anything. I didn't throw anything. And I didn't light anything," she told 3News.
Fellow student Jeremy Perkins said he was blinded by the spray.
"To be honest, I would have preferred a good old-fashioned batoning."
Inspector Dave Campbell said that, despite promises of better behaviour from students, "nothing has changed".
Mr Chin said the rally, "which is basically fuelled around alcohol", was not welcome in the city and should be cancelled. Dunedin North MP Pete Hodgson has backed the call.
But Otago University Student Association president Edwin Darlow said the mayor was sticking his head in the sand.
"The issue here is not about supporting or opposing the Undie 500, because ... we can't stop people coming to Dunedin."
Instead, the council should support alternative events on that weekend.
University of Canterbury vice-chancellor Rod Carr said students acting illegally could face expulsion.
"We expect our students to follow the laws of the land, and we support the police in taking action against any student involved in criminal behaviour."
But Carl Shrimpton, president of the Canterbury University Engineering Society, which organises the rally, said the problems were mainly caused by Otago students.
"The Undie 500 is used as an excuse and it shows the culture down here," he said. "Certainly, there is a culture ... of burning things and drinking."

Despite all the sadness and horror, I'm going to remain a member. I'm taking a leaf out of Corbyn's book and I'm going to fight from within to save the Labour Party. We only have one chance left to get our Party back and I urge as many of you left-wing moderates out there as possible to join me, become members of the Labour Party, and do the same.
I desperately want to believe that a unified Labour Party is possible, so I'll refrain from cutting up my membership card for the moment, but if the current conditions continue, I and perhaps many others may find ourselves reconsidering our positions within the party.
As a Labour member it pains me to say, that if you are disheartened about the UK exiting EU, the best thing you can do now is join the Liberal Democrats. They are the only party that alongside the Scottish National Party (SNP), offers a true coherent positive European vision and agenda
While Labour might have lost this election, it is unlikely to have suffered as many losses as it is likely to suffer in the wake of a party split.
Post-referendum, everyone upset about the result is talking about leadership. How could David Cameron have risked so much just to placate a minority i...
A few suggestions. Do not give up on the idea that the country can rethink this decision. Yes, accept the verdict of the people. But watch and get involved as the people express their regret in growing numbers and in varying ways. Do not allow Boris Johnson, chief architect of this disaster, to become the Prime Minister. Do not allow him, Gove et al, to escape the scrutiny they deserve for the lies they told... If you think Corbyn has to go, join the Labour Party, and help make that happen so that it can become a proper functioning campaigning party again, not a hard-left sect and vanity project, as a general election nears.
Just looking at the list of people being talked about for the Labour and Tory leadership, and I can't help but think what a bunch of no mark political lightweights they mostly are. Barely one of them has any experience outside of politics, law, media, or charity. And not one of them looks like they could successfully run a corner shop let alone a country.
Trials and tribulations often expose the real mettle and character of people. This last week, we have seen how Corbyn has stood firm against a sea of opposition, unrelenting, on his democratic principles. Take heed, revolting MPs - your opposition to him is drawing not only public ire upon yourself, but public approbation and support for him.
I first realised that the odds for Remain were about to plummet when i was campaigning for Labour on council estates in Peckham for Sadiq Khan on the ...
Reports coming out of Brussels and Washington suggest that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, otherwise known as TTIP, has been crippled, possibly killed, by Brexit. Informed sources suggest that TTIP will be parked until Britain's Article 50 negotiations have been completed and that there is now a possibility that the deal will never be concluded.
When Napoleon remarked 'In politics, stupidity is not a handicap' I doubt even he could have foreseen the damage of blending stupidity with unmasked plutocracy and obsequious entitlement. Last week's apathetic paroxysm by British citizens was far more about the obedient breakdown of society than it was about the affirmation of our individual and collective preservation.
When approached again and again by figures who have dedicated their lives to Labour, and whose combined wisdom and experience is immeasurable, to be told that the damage he is doing to the party is incalculable a man of principle, a leader, doesn't dig his heels in repeating the word 'mandate' as little more than a mantra. A man of principle, a leader, realises that sometimes he must sacrifice himself for the greater good.
It's the million voter question. But one that I doubt I'll be able to answer - especially given that the Labour Party itself is failing to be able to answer it, as Jeremy Corbyn has today announced that he will not resign even following the loss of a vote of confidence by 172 votes to 40.
Just over two-thirds of Labour's post-GE2015 members and supporters (68%) have retweeted, posted or forwarded a message supporting the Labour Party on social media and nearly nine out of ten (88%) claim to have signed a petition on behalf of the party. But only 15% of them have participated in door-to-door or telephone canvassing of voters or helped out at a party function...
It's not the pound that we should be worried about in these tumultuous times. Markets will recover, the economy will adjust to a post-Brexit reality, and we will find a way of protecting jobs, trade and investment.
On a final note, the scenes we have seen from the "Keep Corbyn" rally in Parliament Square tonight have been extremely worrying, and I for one am livid that Corbyn and McDonnell would condone this type of behaviour, sharing a protest with the SWP and people shouting about "Red Tories" and "right-wing scum".

Fiji Water signs snowboarder Klug to one-year deal
Published November 18, 2002
Olympic bronze-medal snowboarder Chris Klug has signed a one-year endorsement deal with Fiji Water, according to his agent, Peter Carlisle of Octagon Action Sports.
Carlisle would not disclose the amount of the deal. Because Fiji Water is relatively new to athlete endorsements and Klug is not a gold-medal winner, the deal is likely to be for less than $100,000 a year.
Considering Klug's history, the deal is apt. He has fought through health problems since birth, and in 2000 had a liver transplant after battling liver disease for seven years. Fiji Water, which comes from the Fiji islands, is marketed as exceptionally pure and healthful.
Klug's other endorsements include Xerox, Saturn, Fujisawa Healthcare, Sunbeam's Mr. Coffee brand, Burton Snowboards, Aspen Snowmass Resort and Tyco Adhesive's duct tape product. The last endorsement came after Klug frantically repaired his broken binding with duct tape before the race that secured him the bronze medal in Salt Lake City earlier this year.
