Exeter Bedroom Tax Protest

On Saturday 16 March 150 or so concerned people gathered in Bedford Square in Exeter to show their opposition to the reviled Bedroom Tax. This was one of nearly 60 such rallies across the UK coming together at the same time, a groundswell of some 15,000 protesters.

Over the past couple of months, I've been a frequent tweeter on the subject as @CllrPaul4Cowick . Through these tweets I have campaigned, questioned, and informed. In addtion, I have contributed an editorial article on the Exeter Labour Party website.

As a result of all this activity on the Bedroom Tax, the...

Twit or Tweet?

With Social Media marketing taking on a life of its own in recent years, we at The Plum Consultancy ask what is relevant and what isn’t? How many people are drowning under the barrage of tweets, shares, likes, LinkedIn requests and Google+ notifications? Are they all meaningful or are tweets being re-tweeted within an inch of their lives and is anyone taking any notice or is it all going in the spam folder?!

We believe the considered approach is the only approach to have when using and dealing with Social Media for business purposes. Social Media is as much about relationship...

This is my 4th blog about my journey to compete as a figure competitor with the British National Body-Building Federation (BNBF) in July this year. In my last blog I discussed the type of training I was doing which was 'Full body training' and that I was having my body fat measured again.

Well had my body fat measured and I was glad to see that I had lost 1.3% body fat and put on another 1.2kg of muscle mass. I was really pleased with this result, considering I had been unwell for part of this phase. It shows that if you eat well you can still make changes even if you are not...

So let’s face it. We are in a huge mess, despite the rose-tinted spectacles used by some of our political leaders who are clearly not well in touch with the realities that most of us face. The neo-liberal economics of recent decades combined with the assault on the ecology of the planet may be reaping dividends for the rich few, but for the majority of us the immediate outlook is bleak.

Our society is fracturing and breaking up, and, in my view, this is being encouraged by a government which seems intent on systematically dismantling the structures which have held us together since...

NY Times best selling author shares his wisdom

Don't ignore the benefits of other's experience

The ability to listen to others is not, typically, the entrepreneur’s greatest strength. If you’re the oldest guy in the shop, if you’re the one others turn to when they want to hear about the “old days,” it’s time to find yourself an even older grizzly. When I first bought Mackay Envelope, I was twenty-six. My lawyer, the one I hired after I fired the young hotshot who told me not to buy the envelope company, was sixty. My accountant was fifty-eight, and my banker would admit to being seventy, but I think he was closer to eighty....

This blog is all about my journey to compete as a figure competitor at the BNBF (British Natural Bodybuilding Federation) at the Welsh qualifier in July this year. Last week I spoke about starting off this new phase of training which is back to a ‘full body training method’ to reduce body fat. I also spoke about having my body fat measurements done after the initial 4 week block of a ‘building phase’ in which I did a 4 way split, namely chest, back, legs and arms. This week I am into week 2 of the ‘Full body training’. To be honest this week has been a real struggle. I was ill for 2 days...

Diary of a proud new dad

I am grateful that I was lucky enough to witness the miracle of my daughter's birth and even had the honour of cutting her umbilical cord.

It was rather poignant that months of nurturing and nourishing was ended in seconds with the snip of a pair of scissors, wielded by me.

Poignant, because my role in creating this wonderful new life was neither arduous, nor was it demanding of my time.

Her mother meanwhile, has gone through the agony of cramps, back pain, kicks, nocturnal internal gymnastic displays and a diet lacking many of the things she enjoys.

I have...

My first 100 days in office by Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg

Hello, I am writing this on my 100th day in office. If I’m honest, it feels more like 100 minutes because we’ve packed so much in to these first three months, and at times there’s hardly been time to catch my breath.

I am really pleased with what I’ve managed to achieve so far. The appointment of a new Chief Constable, publication of the police and crime plan and setting the budget quite rightly took a good deal of thought and hard work, and I suspect you wouldn’t want it any other way.

I do realise that many of you are yet to be convinced about the need for a Police and...

What’s in a Brand?

Have you ever contemplated why some businesses do so much better than others in the same industry? And do you find yourself drawn to certain products,remembering certain slogans and tunes with good product recall?

Love it or Hate it, Go Compare, is probably one of the most well known brands in the country and having gauged the depth of feeling with the public about how annoying the Go Compare advertisements have now become, their advertising strategy has now moved to engaging high profile celebrities in trying to kill the Go Compare man off – Clever!

Building a strong brand...
