Here we go again, and you call me for chiding Britcliffe all the time.
I'll quite happily say that mistakes were made by Labour, just the same as mistake are made by ALL governments. It doesn't make it right and it doesn't excuse them but if subsequent governments don't learn from the mistakes of the past then they're no better.
Politicians are quite keen to get into power and the thought of being voted out isn't a very happy one (I'll include myself in that number because there's going to come a day when I lose my seat and it won't be very nice, if I don't step down). However, if you clamour for control of government and get it don't blame everything you do as being the fault of your predecessor!
Neither HBC or Westminster are being held to ransom by Labour. They have control, it's up to them to make the decisions. I'll state this yet again:
NO ONE IS FORCING THE HYNDBURN TORIES TO SPEND OUR MONEY LIKE THIS.
