Good Old Labour Council

[The French Connection]

That really is a stupid thing to say - and it's 'roll'.

[soothsayer]

The problem lies not with Chelsea Flower Show but with cuts imposed by the present government which prevent the council from providing proper care for the elderly or repairing pavements. There is also a system which allows money to be spent on certain projects and not others.

 

What a load of cobblers!

The Government didn't spend £400k of taxpayers money on the RCFS garden + Gala Dinner, the government isn't spending £15m on relocating the council offices from a building that's

Oh and by the way, in case you didn't know, the cuts imposed by central government were necessary because of successive overspending Labour governments.

The problem lies not with Chelsea Flower Show but with the spending of large amounts of money on none essential services when essential services face cuts due to austerity packages... perhaps?

Telling the voters that care packages have to be cut by 1M then spending 1.2M on fripperies doesnt usually go down well... perhaps

Or perhaps the problem is with the elected leaders?

You cut your cloth accordingly.

 

If you are struggling to find the money to fill your mini metro full of petrol you don't forsake it all and go out and buy a brand new BMW X5 do you!

 

Typical Gordon Brown Labouresque boom and bust spending! :(

That says it all! And people still are putting their trust & faith in Labour!

The Labour Party have been a waste of time. They have wasted millions of pounds of council tax payers money, failed miserably to attract any life changing investment in the city, systematically destroyed nearly every decent building and vindictively pulled the plug on the Vale market and replaced it with a now defunct street market in Burslem. The sad thing is that they hold on to this illusion that they have done great things. What a sad lot they are.
