Councillor 2.0 Martin Mullaney extends his media empire with a new podcast, a great idea which is sort of “Moseley Island Disks”. Martin has a chat to a Moseleyite and plays their five favourite records. First victim is Colin Troth, who helped get the Rotunda listed and features as one of the stories in 21 Stories, the film, photo exhibition and book about the Rotunda we keep praising to high heavens (currently on show at the Three White Walls Gallery in the Mailbox).

Councillor 2.0 means having to say you’re sorry

Councillor 2.0 means having to say you’re sorry

Kings Heath and Moseley councillors Martin Mullaney and Ernie Hendricks went in front of the City Council Standards Committee on Friday – to answer charges of breaking the Local Councillors Code of Conduct when they snuck into the disused Moseley Tram Depot to make a video about the state of the building. They were found guilty of failing to treat the owner of the property with respect, but cleared of other stuff (full verdict in the Post. And isn’t it nice to see a photo with Ernie in, rather than just Martin). They’ve been asked to apologise and take the video down off YouTube (they have, but everyone should know that once something’s been on the internet…). According to Martin’s site he’s going to say sorry, but Ernie won’t: Both Councillors to be suspended for one month, unless they write a letter of apology to Mr Zaman and publish the apology on Councillor Mullaney’s website.

The writing is on the wall*

*obvious headlines dept. This is  c’n'p-ed from Cllr Mullaney’s posting to the Moseley Yahoo group: ” An event has been organised, where Birmingham’s graffiti artists will explain the difference between graffiti art and graffiti tagging, and how they as artist can help reduce the level of nuisance graffiti tagging. Graffiti – is it Art or Vandalism? Event – Thursday 31st January 7pm 9pm. Venue: Moseley CDT, 149-153 Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham B13 8JP (entrance to the side of Moseley Post Office) Residents complain about graffiti blighting their neighbourhood, but if we want to tackle this issue we need to understand the modern origins of graffiti, why teenagers graffiti tag, and how we can harness that energy and creativity and move it into something more positive and legal, namely graffiti art. This event will explain the modern origins of graffiti from the New York hip-hop scene (including the first recorded graffiti tagger Taki 183). It will explain the difference between tagging/vandalism and the legal side of graffiti art. This will be an opportunity to meet and talk to Birmingham based graffiti artists (both teenagers and older) who want to help reduce the level of tagging by providing ‘managed’ legal graffiti...
