I was wondering why the iconic Civic Centre clock in Southampton is not lit up blue on Thursday at 8pm to clap for the NHS.

Is it political bias?

As about 25 years ago I was tasked to fit new perimeter lighting in the bell tower and instructed by the design engineer to fit blue fluorescent tubes to the lights as this colour really offset the Portland stone.

All this was very well until the local elections and low and behold we were told to source and change the colour to red due to Labour gaining control of the council.

Is this bias raising its head again.
