If further evidence were needed that BS9 is the new Clifton, the following video, recently released on YouTube, should set things straight.
Speakers on please.....

The Story Behind the Bristol Free School - Part Four
Although the video is not Bristol-specific, Michael Gove's recent presentation at think tank Policy Exchange provides insight into some of the thinking behind the government's current drive towards Free Schools.
Agree or disagree, it's at least useful to know the thinking that is shaping current policy. The key issue, if I've understood Michael Gove correctly, is diversity within state education provision and freedom of operation at local school level - autonomy as the Secretary of State calls it.
Back to the Bristol Free School story next time....

Jimmy Wales in Bristol: Live Webcast Here
The presentation is being webcast and is available to view right here, without the pain of leaving Westbury on Trym's leading online independent media outlet.
(Jimmy is the chap who's been asking us for money throughout December, and who says he has "mixed feelings" about Wikileaks.)

Thanks to Marc Cooper at This is Bristol for the heads up, received via Twitter.

All Bristol's Independent Media in One Place
Bristol's growing number of independent media producers - writers, bloggers, vloggers, photographers and podcasters - have until now relied on diverse methods for letting others know they exist.
Due to the wonders of modern technology, the latest content from all of Bristol's independent media producers can now be accessed in real time here at Trym Tales.
The feeds on the right hand column are the latest offerings from the many blogs and web sites producing local content by local people. This is not a blog roll. It's a feed roll.
To qualify for inclusion in this diverse list, the site has to fulfill a few criteria. First. it must be written or produced by Bristolians and/or contain a significant amount of material with a Bristol theme. Second, it needs to be updated regularly. Sites with no postings since July, for instance, did not make it the cut. Thirdly, the sites need an RSS feed. Any such feed will do, but unfortuantely, there are a few good sites out there which I cannot include because they have no accessible feeds. For some reason, a few of the party political sites fall into this category, otherwise they would be included. Finally, I have tried to restrict the list to non-corporate sites. The Cabot Circus blog, if there is one, will not be included, for instance, nor those by the large institutional media organisations. The aim, instead, is to give a platform for genuinely small-scale sites written by local people about local issues.
I hope you find the sites of interest. Even a glance down the titles of these sites reveals a very diverse and creative independent media scene covering a huge range of issues, perspectives and neighbourhoods within Bristol.
I've no doubt missed many out that I don't yet know about. So, please get in touch and tell me about any that should be included.
Happy reading.

Evening Post Video Progress
Interested to see how the Evening Post has started to include videos in its local news reports on the web site.
The practice has been common in the US for a few years but has taken a while to catch on over here.
The lamppost story is interesting in its own right as well.

Police Continue Online Strategy
Following my earlier post about Avon and Somerset's use of blogs and web casts to engage the local public, I have been interested by a couple of additional online measures in the fight against crime.
The local force has for over a year now been a YouTube user with over 25 videos currently uploaded. Their profile page on YouTube is here. I've included one below - Dan the Distraction Burglar - which reveals that it's not all paperwork and form filling in the inner corridors of the Police HQ in Portishead as some frustrated animators are at work producing a creative vibe in the cause of crime prevention. I must confess I was a pleasantly surprised by the tone of the video with its combination of edgy graphics, dead pan humour and murdering grannies. As always, your comments are welcome.
Avon and Somerset also has its own Facebook page where fans can receive news about police-related incidents and watch police videos. In the slightly surreal world which is Facebook, members can also upload photos of police cars taken from a variety of angles and interact with other fans of the local police, some of whom have chosen to upload interesting photos of themselves considering the nature of the group they have joined.
