Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

Well, we're back on our home turf tonight, aren't we, Simon?

Back in the wonderful borough of caution.

Is it a borough? Ward. No a it's a it's a let's go for

ward because it's not a borough it's not honest it don't start a separatism movement just because

we're on the mainland don't don't start with that shenanigans we we can't have we can't have border

control at hillsy lines well is that the old misspelling, isn't it, of the Portsmouth Independence Party?

If you misspell it right, it can, what have they ever done for us?

But anyway, before we go down this Pythonist road, you've been out and about this week

and a local meeting in Cossham, and we're lucky enough to have one of the

sitting Cossium councillors, Councillor Lee Mason joining us this evening. Welcome, Lee.

Good evening. Pleased to be here again. Second time. So I can't done two, but having

last time for you to get me back? No, no. Absolutely. We love a returning guest. There a there's a league table i think if you're on

five times we probably should get you a mug but we haven't we haven't commissioned those yet so that's

that's something for us to uh to look at yeah that's part of the 2023 plan to start the pompey

politics podcast merchandising but you know i look forward to the upgrade on

the mudlin absolutely so simon what you've been out and about um through what's occurred yeah sorry

you you make that sound like i've just been wandering around the streets of caution um so, yes, Wednesday, a chilly evening, but a well-attended evening at the local church hall,
