If anyone deserves an Orwell Prize it's Mrs Angry for the stirling work she did this time last year exposing the Metpro Scandal. Whilst all of the Barnet bloggers played a big part in making sure that the whole story was exposed, I personally think that if someone has to get a gong for it, then that should be Mrs Angry. She started her blog in response to neighbours from hell, dumped on her doorstep by Barnet Council. She'd only just got rid of the stress of them when the Metpro Scandal broke. A lesser person would have said "I don't need the hassle and let the matter rest". No one would have thought the lesser of her if she had.

When I started blogging, no one in Barnet was covering the issues we raise every day. I doubt that we do more than scratch the surface of the shit going on in Barnet, but the council now take us very seriously. They know that WE WILL eventually get to the truth of the matter. We are a dogged, persistant and very committed bunch. We are both competetive (in a good way) and collaborative. Whenever one of us is picked on, the rest of the bloggers will rally around. If one of us is put up for a gong, the rest of us will back them to the hilt.

I do wonder how many of the bloggers on the list have had the stress, taken the risks and put the work into their blog that Mrs Angry has? Not only that, but she writes a damn fine blog.

Well, not quite. This is a video of redoubtable (according to Brian Coleman, this term is an insult) Barnet Blogger Mrs Angry, getting the answers to her questions at the Metpro inquiry - Enjoy

Broken Barnet - Pure Genius

I hereby nominate Mrs Angry for the graphic of the year for her take on the famous picture of the Krays a la Barnet Council. I am also eternally grateful to her for informing us that the Krays used to live in Finchley. My Dad once told me that Jack "The Hat" Mc Vitie's former bodyguard used to run a nightclub in Edgware. I bet you didn't realise that Barnet was such a hotbed of gangsta culture (or maybe, just maybe you did). Although there have been some fine graphics, I truly believe Mrs Angry has produced the finest yet

Mrs Angry gets lucky !

Who says blogging is a waste of time. I know someone who doesn't.

It seems that Mrs Angry has got a result :-

Good luck to her. And I'd suggest anyone else who is getting nowhere by "conventional means" take note.
