AT last a Lib Dem promise which can be believed.

Coun Orrell, the Lib Dem executive member for leisure (or damp squibs), has pledged not to repeat the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot by holding another firework display (City Pledge After 2005 'Farce', January 7),

This will certainly by definition be fulfilled, unlike the many broken Lib Dem pre-election promises referred to in the Diary quiz over the Christmas break (December 29). Yes, Coun Orrell. One promise you can keep amongst a catalogue of Lib Dem Let Downs.

Coun Sandy Fraser,

Labour, Micklegate ward,

Millfield Road, York.
