The accusation that there's some political agenda at work here, in thinking money should not be spent celebrating this occasion locally is ludicrous.
For once on here, there seems there's political unity, in opposing spending council taxes on this, when we are seeing such savage cuts in services, and the threat of job losses.
I've certainly no political axe to grind. The Leader of the Council, who seems to be the one pushing for the planned celebrations, happens to be my own ward councillor, and whom I voted for last May.
The pathetic cry of political bias only seems to work one way, in the eyes of the party faithful. Though personally I've yet to be criticised of any anti-Labour bias, on the many times I've been scathing and critical of the last government.
This issue is about right and wrong.
The majority of us here think it's wrong.

But it HAS been turned into a political issue, thats the only problem
