Well they've announced a cut to the county council budget yet again for the third year running, we are so used to it that it barely warrants a story in the local press let alone the nationals. They've refused an increase in poll tax again so that they can print it on election leaflets, ignoring of course that this means that the council cannot get any revenue from the local populace to help pay to maintain local services at the current level..
Expect the elderly and disabled who need support roaming the street in delerium or worse still dying alone without heat or food, expect all social and health services and councillors getting the blame when something goes seriously wrong..because according to central government, there are 'no cuts to frontline services'.
Its true, there aren't....BUT..when you strip away the support services by forcing the council to reduce funding, the frontline has to pick up the slack, and when the frontline doesn't have the tools or resources, it implodes!
Is there really anyone out there who still believes that the tories are even maintaining a pretence of looking out for the welfare of its people?
I didn't vote for cuts like this, nor did Cameron and Co. say they were going to do this when they were electioneering. There is no such thing as democracy in this country...although we do have a few feudal lords who pop into the house of lords for 20 minutes or so to pick up their £300 daily expenses.
What we have is more like the 2000 year old Roman forums, a few wealthy senators deciding on the best way to profit or progress their careers whilst pleasing the populace using their version of 'Strictly Xfactor in the Jungle'...and we all know what happened to that particular empire!
Where the hell are the Vandals and Visigoths when you need them?
