No one ever denied we only got 1.5 but we have averaged over 5% for 7 or 8 years. So the money is in the bank and no matter how low this year there are simply no excuses. Other government grants have rocketed. To say we are shortchanged is just telling the public pork pies in the face of facts, not opinion.

One fraction of one budget in one year is a pathetic excuse. See figures posted on of 11. Its 50k at most AND that included wage inflation which islikeky to be much smaller. Its ridiculous Especially when those are comllaining about government cuts are spending government money in the £millions in other budhgets and telling the public its "the biggest spending programme ever". You have to look at the overall pitcture to give an honest opinion.

Glad we have managed to get the Leaders Office into an open public debate.
