His views are unusual but it seems that here we are looking for a publicist . and he has the CV for that I'm not known for my subtelty but Derby needs the guy from V for Vendetta to explain.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Derbypedia?
Would you believe that Derby's where it all started, at the museum there? Definitely worth him getting in touch with Andy Mabbett... or indeed having a chat with him yourself!
