Criticism
Started in 2004, Leisure Connection Watch is a consumer website featuring reports that question the performance of Leisure Connection Ltd. LCW relies mainly on items from local papers, the Audit Commission and council reports. It also uses the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to find out more about Leisure Connection's performance and how councils are monitoring and managing this. Since February 2006 LCW produced a summary of referenced findings called "The Leisure Connection Dossier."

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
