 Antonia’s blog
In response to the IWCA motion, Labour councillor and Executive Board member, Antonia Bance, proposed an amendment to an Executive Board decision pulling out an extra £20,000, seemingly from nowhere, for the Dovecote.[…]
Needless to say, when the IWCA motion to cut the ‘ethnic minority champions’ project came up, Cllr Bance said pointedly, ‘Well there’s no need for this motion now is there.’
This only helps to confirm suspicions that it is only when Labour’s key concerns—such as divisive multicultural schemes—come under threat that they are prepared to come up with funding for important social projects aimed at the whole community.

Ms Bance, who according to The Guardian newspaper is among the top female political bloggers in the country, said on her website: "Strange phonecall a few weeks ago: 'Hi Antonia, it's Dylan Jefferies at the Department for Communities and Local Government.

The word "banc" (also: "banc-corp" or "bancorp") is marketing slang (chiefly USA) for the non-banking arms of a financial conglomerate that has "Bank" in its common name.
''En banc'' or in bank is a term used to refer to the hearing of a case by all the judges of a court.
Appellate courts in the United States sometimes grant rehearing ''en banc'' to reconsider a decision of a panel of the court, where the case concerns a matter of exceptional public importance or the panel's decision appears to conflict with a prior decision of the court.

 A Councillor Writes: What's a Labour Party for?
It's no more valid for someone in the party to criticize Antonia's lifestyle (or mine!) than it is for her to criticize those who think that a career in politics is what they want from their lives.
It's a very old fashioned conception of how the policy making process works, (Antonia might dismiss me, I fear, as a member of the point of order tendency) and some people will say it's not very inclusive, but it was a way of raising the issue within the CLP.
Antonia and others who've taken part in this debate about how to get young people involved in politics have concentrated on the careerism of others.

 let's be sensible: Why make abortion a conscience issue?
I'm sure Bance would like to win the argument afresh, but I'm happy that her sisters did so a generation ago, and beefing up the weakened forces of 'anti-choice' in order to have that argument begs a simple question: why bother?
On Simon's taking issue with Antonia: well, she's got a comments box too, and you should take it up with her there.
I know that Bance has a comments box - but that was not the point of my post.

I wonder if Antonia knows the full history of what has been the longest running disagreement between the political groups since planning for local government "modernisation" started in 2000 or so.
The result of pitting applicant and objector in a prolonged battle rather than a constructive dialogue about a way to achieve some of what both want out of a site is further antagonism towards any development and a feeling of loss of control over what's happening around your neighbourhood.

 Blogger: Antonia's blog - www.antoniabance.org.uk - Email Post to a Friend
The phones rang hot, as honest law-abiding folk relieved themselves of torrents of bile, sneering at the young women, at their mother, and at Antonia Bance of the YWCA, who has set up an organisation called "Respect Young Mums".
The girls, we were given over and over again to understand, were stupid slags, who were allowed by their twice-divorced mother to have sex with all and sundry, and Bance was a naive do-gooder who was encouraging them to exploit the benefit system.
You can put the SEX word in big letters on the front page, will help your sales no end, and you might actually encourage a few parents to have the conversation they need to with their kids.

 Ellee Seymour - MCIPR, PRESS CONSULTANT, JOURNALIST, POLITICAL AND PR BLOGGER. » 2006 » August » 06
Among those who attended from the UK was Oxford Labour councillor Antonia Bance, who wrote about it on her blog.
True, it wasn’t a training event, though Antonia’s highlight of the conference seems to have been a workshop on blogging, and as her site looks really good, I don’t imagine she needs many tips.
Judging from the programme, it seems to have been an excellent event and I would loved to have been invited to “add to the mix of attendees”; I’m quite good at mingling and socialising too.
