| I just wonder when a lot of people are going to wake up and smell the coffee, whatever the wishes of local councils this government is hell bent on completely doing away with public services. They have absolutely no intention of funding local government properly and if people march stark, b*****k naked around the boroughs of London in five feet of snow it will not make a scrap of difference, they won't change their stance and local government can't change theirs no matter how much they want to protect services much valued by residents. Of course people should protest but whether that will influence central government one iota is dubious. They are making policy on idealogical grounds no matter how they protest to the contrary, it seems that everything apart from the judiciary and armed forces is to be up for grabs by their wealthy mates. We can only hope that bootlicker-in-chief Nick Clegg comes under pressure from the spineless shower he leads when the AV referendum (cost to the taxpayer £250 million - how many libraries and day centres would that fund?) goes pear shaped and there isn't a Lib Dem councillor left after local elections in May, may be then they'll finally find their guts and leave the slimeball Cameron without a majority and having no alternative but to go to the country, we live in hope. Anyone who thinks people go into local politics to screw their electorate is potty, after all councillors are local residents too, the difference being that they have a fiduciary duty to the local taxpayer. If this government survives then we should all face the very unpleasant reality of things getting a damned sight worse, and ask ourselves what we really are going to have to live without. |
