TWO

CHANGED

TO

ON

OWNED

sp
METROPOLITAN
COUNCIL
sp
BUT
THIS
DOES
NOT
ALLAY
OUR
sp
CONCERN

IN

IN
OUR
VIEW
sp
IT
WOULD
ONLY
AGGRAVATE
THE
SITUATION
EVEN
sp
FURTHER
sp
IF
SUCH
A
BYELAW
WAS
TO
BE
ADOPTED
sp
AS
MOST
PEOPLE
WITHIN
THE

sp
DO
NOT
KNOW
WHICH

LAND
IS
OWNED
BY

WE
DO
APPRECIATE

THAT
IT
IS
REASONABLE

TO
IMPOSE
RESTRICTIONS
ON
DOGS
IN
SUCH
AREAS
AS
sp
CHILDREN'S
sp
PLAYGROUNDS
sp
FLOWER
BEDS
ETCETERA
sp
AND
WE
DO
SUPPORT
THE
EXTENSION
OF
THE
BYELAWS
RELATING
TO
DOGS
sp
FOULING
sp
FOOTWAYS
AND
GRASS
sp
VERGES
sp
AND
ALSO
THE
BYELAWS
RELATING
TO
THE
REMOVAL
OF

CANINE
sp
FAECES
sp
HOWEVER
WE
FEEL
THAT
sp
SUCH
sp
{OOV}
MEASURES
AS
sp
THOSE
BEING
MOOTED
WOULD
ONLY
LEAD
sp
TO
FURTHER
PROBLEMS
sp
IT
IS
THE

R

A

HANDLING

NATURAL
EXERCISE

AND
THEY

BE
GIVEN
THE
OPPORTUNITY
TO
RUN
sp
FREELY
sp
AS
FREQUENTLY
AS
POSSIBLE
sp
FAILURE
TO
PROVIDE
SUCH
OPPORTUNITIES
sp
DOES
CAUSE
sp
DOGS
sp
TO
BECOME
MORE
EXCITABLE
AND
AGGRESSIVE
sp
AND
THIS
IN
sp
TURN
REDUCES
THE
LEVEL
OF
sp
CONTROL
EXPERIENCED
BY
THE
HANDLER
sp
A
DOG
CONSTANTLY
RESTRAINED

AN
UNHAPPY
DOG

THEY

EXPRESS
CONCERN
REGARDING

PRODUCTIVE

OPINION

BE
A
WASTE

{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
sp
AND
LOCAL

ARE
REQUESTING
THAT
THE

sp
INSTAL
A
sp
PELICAN
sp
CROSSING
sp
ON
THE
SITE
sp
OF
THE
EXISTING
sp
ZEBRA
CROSSING
sp
THERE'S
BEEN
CONCERN
OVER
THIS
AREA
sp
FOR
SEVERAL
YEARS
sp
BUT
NOTHING'S
ACTUALLY
BEEN
DONE
sp
A
SIMILAR
REQUEST
WAS
APPROVED
THREE
YEARS
AGO
sp
BUT
HAS
NEVER
BEEN
IMPLEMENTED
sp
PARENTS
AND
sp
RESIDENTS
WERE
sp
GIVEN
THE
IMPRESSION
sp
THAT
SOMETHING
WAS
GOING
sp
TO
BE
DONE
AND
WERE
VERY
DISMAYED
TO
sp
FIND
THAT
NOTHING
sp
HAS
BEEN
DONE
YET
sp
HENCE
THIS
PETITION
sp
THERE
sp
HAS
BEEN
ONE
FATAL
ACCIDENT
ON
THE
sp
CROSSING
IN
sp
RECENT
YEARS
sp
WHICH
WAS
THE
TRAGIC
DEATH
OF
A
YOUNG
BABY
sp
IN
ADDITION
THERE
HAVE
BEEN
SEVERAL
OTHER
ACCIDENTS
WHERE
sp
CARS
HAVE
sp
COLLIDED
WITH
EACH
sp
OTHERS
THESE
ARE
NOT
sp
ACTUALLY
RECORDED
ON
POLICE
STATISTICS
sp
BUT
sp
TH
NEVERTHELESS
THEY
COULD
HAVE
BEEN
MUCH
MORE
SERIOUS
sp
THAN
IN
FACT
THEY
WERE
sp
I
WITNESSED
AN
ACCIDENT
WHERE
A
VEHICLE
sp
COLLIDED
INTO
THE
BACK
OF
ANOTHER
ONE
sp
PUSHING
IT
sp
COMPLETELY
ACROSS
THE
CROSSING
sp
AT
THE
sp
TIME
sp
THERE
WERE
PARENTS
AND
CHILDREN
sp
WAITING
TO
CROSS
OVER
THE
sp
CROSSING
sp
AND
IT
COULD
HAVE
BEEN
MUCH
sp
MORE
SERIOUS
sp
THE
CROSSING
IS
SITUATED
ON
A
VERY
BUSY
DUAL
CARRIAGEWAY
WHERE
THE
SPEED
LIMIT
IS
FORTY
MILES
AN
HOUR
sp
AND
I
WOULD
POINT
TH
sp
POINT
OUT
THIS
LITERATURE
sp
WHICH
SAYS
THAT
AT
sp
FORTY
MILES
AN
HOUR
sp
IF
CHILDREN
sp
ARE
KNOCKED
INTO
sp
MOST
CHILDREN
ARE
sp
KILLED
sp
BUT
IN
FACT
MOST
sp
OF
THE
VEHICLES
TRAVEL
AT
FIFTY
OR
SIXTY
sp
MILES
AN
HOUR
ON
THIS
CROSSING
sp
IT'S
A
VERY
BUSY
CROSSING
sp
SOME
OF
THE
CHILDREN
sp
AT
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
sp
SCHOOL
WENT
OUT
sp
TO
DO
A
TRAFFIC
sp
COUNT
RECENTLY
sp
AND
sp
THERE
WAS
SO
sp
MUCH
VOLUME
OF
TRAFFIC
THAT
THE
CHILDREN
WERE
NOT
ABLE
TO
KEEP
UP
sp
WITH
sp
TH
sp
PUTTING
THE
{OOV}
IN
sp
THE
sp
{OOV}
TO
KEEP
UP
WITH
THE
VOLUME
OF
TRAFFIC
sp
MANY
MOTORISTS
USE
THE
DUAL
CARRIAGEWAY
AS
AN
EXTENSION
OF
THE
MOTORWAY
sp
THE
sp
DUAL
sp
CARRIAGEWAY
sp
IS
JUST
OF
sp
THE
sp
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
sp
MOTORWAY
sp
AND
sp
PEOPLE
ARE
GEARING
UP
sp
TO
GO
ON
sp
THE
MOTORWAY
sp
THE
sp
PRACTICE
OF
HAVING
ZEBRA
CROSSINGS
ON
ANY
MULTI
LANE
sp
ROAD
DOESN'T
SEEM
TO
BE
VERY
COMMON
OUTSIDE
sp
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
sp
MYSELF
sp
AND
MY
sp
FAMILY
HAVE
NEVER
SEEN
sp
IT
sp
IN
OUR
TRAVELS
sp
BRIDGES
OR
sp
OR
sp
PELICAN
CROSSINGS
OR
SUBWAYS
WOULD
BE
PROVIDED
INSTEAD

VISITING
DRIVERS
TO

{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
sp
AFTER
A
FEW
HOURS
ON

THE

ARE
HARDLY
GOING
TO
BE
LOOKING
FOR
A
ZEBRA
CROSSING
sp
ON
sp
SUCH
A
sp
BUSY
DUAL
sp
CARRIAGEWAY
sp
WE
BELIEVE
THAT
THE
{OOV}
sp
TH
sp
THE
CURRENT
ZEBRA
CROSSING
IS
UNFAIR
AND
DANGEROUS
sp
TO
sp
BOTH
PEDESTRIANS
AND
VEHICLE
OCCUPANTS
sp
HEAVY
VEHICLES
SLOWING
DOWN
sp
TO
ALLOW
sp
PEOPLE
sp
TO
CROSS
ARE
OFTEN
sp
OVERTAKEN
BY
sp
CARS
sp
UNAWARE
OF
THE
CROSSING
sp
AND
THE
REASON
FOR
sp
THE
SLOWING
HEAVY
VEHICLE
sp
A
BUS
STOP
sp
JUST
BEFORE
THE
ZEBRA
CROSSING
sp
ONLY
CONFUSES
THE
ISSUE
sp
FURTHER
sp
A
VEHICLE
VOLUNTEERING
TO
STOP
AT
THE
ZEBRA
sp
CROSSING
sp
CAN
sp
ONLY
STOP
sp
ONE
OF
THE
TWO
LANES
WITH
NO
CONTROL
sp
OVER
THE
OTHER
sp
I'VE
SEEN
sp
MANY
EXAMPLES
OF
VEHICLES
sp
FURTHER
BACK
sp
UNAWARE
OF
THE
SITUATION
SWITCHING
sp
LANES
AND
ACCELERATING
sp
MANY
PEOPLE
FEEL
VERY
STRONGLY
ABOUT
sp
THE
DANGERS
sp
ONE
RESIDENT
I
sp
SPOKE
sp
TO
WHOSE
HOUSE
IS
IMMEDIATELY
ON
THE
ZEBRA

sp
REPORTS

THAT

EVERY

DREADS
HEARING
THE
SQUEALING
OF

BL
sp
BRAKES
sp
AND
LOOKING
OUT
OF

HIS

ANOTHER
LOCAL
RESIDENT
HAS
HAD
A

CHILD
sp
WHO'S
BROKEN
HE
sp
BROKEN
HIS
ARM
ON
THE
sp
CROSSING
sp
WHEN
sp
A
CAR
HIT
INTO
sp
HIM
A
POLICEMAN
WHO
WORKS
IN
sp
THE
AREA
DESCRIBES
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}

AS
A
NIGHTMARE
OF
A
CROSSING
sp
AND
I
AND
OTHER
sp
PARENTS
WHO
HAVE

TO

ACROSS
WOULD
ENTIRELY
AGREE
WITH

THIS
sp
I
CROSS
sp
THE

CROSSING
sp
EIGHT
TIMES
A

WITH
MY
OWN
TWO

AND
I
WOULD
UNDERLINE

HOW

HAZARDOUS
IT

IS

OFTEN
HEAVY
TRAFFIC
sp
TENDS
sp
TO
STOP
sp
WHILE
THE
OTHER

CONTINUES

TO

RUSH

PAST
AT

AND
THE

VIEW

IS
OBSCURED

BY

IT'S

DIFFICULT
WITH

THE

WENT
ON

IT
WAS
BY

ALREADY
OBVIOUS

THAT
THE

HAD
OVERCOME
THEIR

FIRST
sp
RESERVATIONS

ABOUT
WHAT
THE

HAD
sp
TO
OFFER

AND
IT
WAS

PUTTING
DOWN
THE

OF

sp
DRAWING
ATTENTION

TO
THE
sp
CONTINUING

IN

THROUGHOUT

OF

INSTEAD

IN
RECOGNISING
THIS

SUCCESS
sp
AND
CONGRATULATING
THE
MANAGERS
sp
THE
PARTY
OPPOSITE

SHOWED
ITS
USUAL
sp
CHURLISHNESS
sp
BY
TRYING
TO
CONGRATULATE
THEMSELVES

FOR
SOME
REASON
OR
OTHER
sp
THEY'VE
sp
SHOWN
sp
OPPOSITION

TO
THE

RIGHT
FROM

THE

PUT

EVERY

OBSTACLE

POSSIBLE
IN

AND
ITS

IMPLEMENTATION
sp
AND
YET
THERE
THEY
WERE
CONGRATULATING
THEMSELVES
sp
ON
HOW
WELL
IT
WAS
WORKING
sp
THEY
TRIED
sp
TO
CLOUD
THE
ISSUE
EVEN
FURTHER
sp
BY
MIXING
THE
QUESTION
OF
L
M
S
sp
WITH
THE
REFORMS
WHICH
MY
GROUP
BROUGHT
IN
sp
WHILE
WE
WERE
IN
sp
CONTROL
sp
OF
THE

sp
WHICH
sp
IS
IN
sp
STARK
CONTRAST
sp
TO
THE
TRUE
SITUATION
THE
LOCAL
MANAGEMENT
OF
sp

WAS
DUE
TO
BE
INTRODUCED
sp
FROM
{OOV}
sp
AND
sp
THE
sp
CONSERVATIVE
GROUP
IN
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
HAD
sp
THE
sp
FORESIGHT
sp
TO
sp
SEE
THAT
IF
sp
THE
sp
SCHEME
WAS
GIVEN
A
sp
FAIR
WIND
sp
AND
THE
FULL
SUPPORT
OF
THE
COUNCIL
sp
IT
WOULD
sp
COME
TO
BE
RECOGNISED
AS
sp
ONE
sp
OF
THE
GREATEST
sp
REFORMS
OF
{OOV}
EDUCATION
WE
REALISED
THAT
THERE
COULD
sp
BE
SOME
DIFFICULTIES
sp
AND
sp
SOME
APPARENT
INJUSTICES
MIGHT
sp
SHOW
UP
sp
BUT
DUE
TO
GREAT
CONSULTATIVE
WORK
PUT
IN
BY
sp
COUNCILLORS
sp
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
sp
AND
MRS
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
OFTEN
sp
AGAINST
GREAT
sp
VILIFICATION
sp
AND
PERSONAL
ATTACK
sp
MANY
PER
PROBLEMS
WERE
SORTED
OUT
sp
AS
sp
THEY
AROSE
sp
BUT
sp
WE
sp
SAW
THAT
sp
I
IN
APRIL
MOTIONS
IN
AMENDMENTS
sp
WE
sp
SEE
THAT
IT
sp
TAKES
sp
THREE
sp
FULL
sp
PARAGRAPHS
OF
THE
AMENDED
MOTION
sp
TO
sp
SEE
THAT
THEY
sp
DEIGN
sp
TO
sp
WELCOME
sp
INITIATIVES
WHICH
sp
EXTEND
PARTICIPATION
sp
IN
DECISION
MAKING
TO
sp
SCHOOLS
GOVERNORS
AND
PARENTS
sp
BUT
NOTE
THE
CRUDITY
OF
THAT
sp
PARAGRAPH
sp
WHICH
sp
STILL
DOESN'T
GIVE
sp
CREDIT
TO
THE
HEAD
sp
TEACHERS
AND
GOVERNORS
FOR
THE
WAY
IN
WHICH
sp
THEY'VE
sp
WORKED
sp
AND
THE
SUCCESS
WHICH
THEY
ACHIEVED
sp
THEN
IN
THE
sp
FINAL
PARAGRAPH
OF
THEIR
ER
AMENDMENT
sp
THE
ATTEMPT
sp
TO
sp
CROW
sp
THAT
sp
THE
sp
LABOUR
GROUP
HAS
sp
ALLOWED
sp
SCHOOLS
sp
TO
TAKE
sp
FULL
L
M
S
sp
WHEN
THEY
WERE
READY
sp
WHAT
ARROGANCE
sp
THAT
IS
sp
THAT
THEY
sp
ALLOWED
THE
sp
SCHOOLS
TO
TAKE
ON
THE
sp
FULL
sp
ROLE
sp
WHEN
sp
OVER
FIFTY
PERCENT
OF
EM
WERE
ALREADY
WILLING
sp
AND
ANXIOUS
sp
TO
DO
sp
SO
sp
THE
ARRANGEMENT
OF
THE
LOCAL
MANAGEMENT
OF
SCHOOLS
IS
ONE
OF
THE
BEST
INITIATIVES
OF
THE
CONSERVATIVE
sp
GOVERNMENT
sp
AND
IT
HAS
sp
FREED
sp
SCHOOLS
FROM
THE
HEAVY
HANDED
sp
CONTROL
OF
LOCAL
GOVERNMENT
AND
IN
PARTICULAR
sp
THAT
sp
OF
sp
LABOUR
CONTROLLED
AUTHORITIES
sp
BECAUSE
IT'S
A
sp
STEP
INTO
THE
UNKNOWN
sp
FOR
sp
SOME
sp
WITH
sp
OBVIOUSLY
SOME
sp
DOUBT
AT
sp
FIRST
sp
AND
MANY
LABOUR
GROUPS
sp
FED
ON
THOSE
DOUBTS
sp
WITH
sp
LIES
sp
AND
THREATS
sp
BUT
NEVERTHELESS
sp
IT
WAS
sp
TAKEN
UP
WHOLEHEARTEDLY
BY
MANY
sp
SCHOOLS
sp
IN
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
sp
WE
WERE
sp
FORTUNATE
sp
IN
THAT
THE
sp
TIME
OF
THE
INTRODUCTION
OF
L
M
S
sp
COINCIDED
WITH
THE
ALL
TOO
BRIEF
sp
PERIOD
WHEN
THIS

WAS
IN

OF

AND
AS
THE

TO
sp
GET

OFF
sp
TO
A
sp
FLYING
sp

SO
sp
THE
LOCAL

AUTHORITY
WAS
IN
THE
FOREFRONT
OF
EFFORTS
sp
TO
MAKE
LOCAL
MANAGEMENT
sp
A
SUCCESS
sp
BY

{OOV}
EVERY
SCHOOL
HAD
A
COMPUTER
SYSTEM
TO
HELP
WITH

MANAGEMENT
sp
OUTSIDE
LONDON
WE
WERE
sp
THE
FIRST
L

sp
A
TO
REALISE
THAT
THIS
sp
WOULD
BE
NECESSARY
sp
WE'VE
INVESTED
WELL
OVER
A
MILLION

POUND
IN
MICRO

sp
FOR
THE
TEACHING
OF

RIGHT
ACROSS

THE

THREE

OF

CARRIED
OUT
TO
HELP
GOVERNORS
sp
AND

sp
STAFF
TO
MEET
THEIR
NEW
TASKS
AND
OBLIGATIONS
sp
SO
THAT
SOME

TWO

WERE
INVOLVED
IN

WAS

IN

WORKING

TODAY

THE

WAS
INTRODUCED

ALONGSIDE

AND
WE'RE
ALREADY
ABLE

TO
SEE
THE
SUCCESS

OF
THAT
NOW

OF

sp
HAS
sp
BEEN

INTRODUCED

AND
IS
CONTINUING

IN

OF

THE
CRITICISMS

WHICH
ARE
OF

sp
RATHER
THAN
OF

WE
CAN

SEE
THAT
IT'S
GON
NA
PROVIDE

WITH
THE
CONTINUOUS
NECESSARY
INFORMATION
sp
WHICH
THEY
NEED
TO
SEE
HOW

THEY'RE

HOW

AND
THE

FOR

sp
WE'RE
NOW
LOOKING

TO

AND
THE

THAT

WILL
GIVE

sp
TO
ENHANCE

THEIR

FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT
sp
ALL
OF
THESE

INITIATIVES
WERE
MADE
MORE
POSSIBLE
sp
AS
A
RESULT
OF
sp
AND

PARALLEL
TO

OF

sp
AND

ALL
IN

SPITE
OF
THE
PETTY
OPPOSITION

OF

SO
MANY

WHO
JUST
CAN'T

THE

THAT

IS
AT

IN

OF

THE

OF
THE

PUT

I
WOULD

POINT
OUT
THAT
UNDER

sp
HAS
SPENT
sp
THREE
HUNDRED
AND
FIFTY
EIGHT
POUND
sp
PER

COMPARED
WITH

WHO
AVERAGE
THREE

sp
I'M

STILL
TALKING
ABOUT
WHEN
WE
WERE

sp
FORTY
ONE
PER

sp
MORE
THAN
THE
AVERAGE
OF
ALL

COMPARABLE
AUTHORITIES
sp
THESE
FIGURES
WERE
CONFIRMED
EVEN
MORE
WHEN
WE
SAW
WHEN
WE
SAW

THAT
WE
SPENT
TWENTY
FIVE

POUND
MORE
A

OF

ON
OUR

THAN
THE
AVERAGE
METROPOLITAN

sp
THIS

A

MORE
ON

THIS

THE

WAS
ALMOST

sp
NEARLY
FIVE

FIFTY
MORE
THAN

SO

THEN

FOR
THE

SILLY
PART
OF

sp
WHICH
TRIES
TO
CONGRATULATE
THE

ON
sp
RESCUING
THE
L

sp
SCHEME
sp
IT
NEEDED
NO
RESCUING
sp
I
CAN
ASSURE
THEM
AND
THE
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_ADDRESS}
PEOPLE
AS
A
WHOLE
sp
THAT
THE
L

SCHEME
HAD

BEEN

BORN
WAS
LIVING

PROGRESSING
WELL
WHEN

TOOK

sp
IT
WAS
ALREADY
MAKING

SUCH
GOOD

THAT
IT'S
BEEN
ABLE
TO
GROW
AND
IMPROVE
sp
IN

SPITE
OF
SO
MUCH

PETTY
sp
INTERFERENCE
sp
AS
THE

HAS
BEEN
ABLE
TO
PUT
ON
IT
sp
THANK
GOODNESS
sp
THAT
sp
TIME
sp
TOO
IS
sp
PASSING
sp
AND
IT
WON'T
BE
LONG
NOW
BEFORE
LOCAL

FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT

IS

FULLY

sp
AND
BEYOND
THE
REACH
OF
THE
VICIOUS

ATTACKS
ON
IT'S

HEAR

HEAR
sp
SO
MY
LORD

I
AM
SURE
THAT
THE
ORIGINAL
RESOLUTION
OF
COUNCILLOR
sp
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
AND
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
sp
NOTING
THE
CONTINUING
SUCCESS
OF
THE

INITIATIVE
WAS
THE
RIGHT

ONE
sp
THE

THEN
BEING

FLASHED
OUT
BY
THE
AMENDMENTS
OF
COUNCILLOR
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
sp
AND

{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
RECOGNISING
THE
WORK
OF

sp
GIVEN
SO

ALSO
THE

WHICH
WILL

COME
TO
BE
VALUED
IN

FUTURE
sp
OF

THE

TESTS
sp
YOU'VE
ONLY
TO
READ
THE
NEW

PARENTS
sp
CHARTER
sp
WHICH
JOHN
MAJOR
IS
INTRODUCING
TO
REALISE
sp
THIS
sp
IT
WILL
MAKE

IT
sp
POSSIBLE
TO
HAVE
sp
ANNUAL
sp
WRITTEN
sp
REPORTS
ON
sp
EACH

CHILD'S

PROGRESS
sp
REGULAR
REPORTS
WILL
BE
MADE
BY
INDEPENDENT
INSPECTORS
sp
ON
THE
STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES
OF
EACH

sp
AND
PUBLISHED
sp
TABLES
WILL
GIVE
sp
PARENTS
sp
THE
ABILITY
TO
COMPARE
THE
PERFORMANCE
OF
LOCAL

sp
THIS
WILL
THEN
OVERCOME
sp
THIS
sp
SILLY
sp
BIGOTRY
OF
THE

sp
IN
sp
TRYING
TO
sp
OSTRACISE

THE
OPTED

IN

sp
AND
sp
THE

COLLEGE
sp
WHEN
THIS

IS

IN
PLACE
sp
WE'LL
BE
ABLE
TO
COMPARE
EVERY
sp
FACET
OF
EDUCATION
sp
ACROSS
sp
THE
DISTRICT
sp
BECAUSE
THE
RESULTS
WILL
BE
PUBLISHED
FOR
ALL
TO
SEE
sp
AND
THESE
TWO
SCHOOLS
WILL
NOT
BE
ABLE
TO
BE
FROZEN
OUT
OF
THAT
EXERCISE
sp
ALL
OF
THIS
IS
COMING
ABOUT
AS
A
DIRECT

OF
THE

AND
IT'S

CONTINUING

IN

I
MOVE

IT
I

MY

WHY
DID
THEY
DO
THIS
sp
IT'S

CLEAR
NOW

IF
IT
WASN'T

THAT
THEY

DO
YOU

YOU
DO
IN

REMEMBER
AS
C

COUNCILLOR

sp
HAS

SAID
THAT
WHEN

HALF

IT'S

IT

AND
THAT

YOU

SOME
OF
YOU
I
BELIEVE

FELT
THAT

SPOKE
OUT

IT
WAS

THAT

THIS

WE

ABOUT

WHILST
THOSE

THAT

{GAP_ANONYMIZATION_NAME}
NOTHING

THE

NO

IT'S
SOMETHING
THAT

CONTINUOUSLY

IS

A

IN

STANDS
TO
LOSE

SOME

AND
IT'S
sp

WORSE
IN

WHAT

ABOUT

IS

THAT
BE

FOR
