Re: Council Tax
 

The people who haven't gained are the hundreds of thosands of people in the country who have no chance of getting social housing, because the stock is so depleted since it was sold off by the Conservatives, and now are forced to rent in the private sector, from the many rip-off landlords.

Conservatism, by it's very nature, conserves for the few.

You don't need to have lived under Thatcher's government to understand that basin concept.

Re: Council Tax
 

I have lived in both council housing and private renting and I know which one I prefer. So unfortunately I cannot appreciate the negativity you obviously feel from it. Since living in private rented accomodation we have been able to live in a much nicer area, with much less crime and a bigger house. The landlord isn't the best but landlords have duties by law, and so unless you are unaware of your rights, then there should be no problem. I am sure the council are more than happy to inform people of their rights, and they also monitor how much rent they are charging too so it is very hard to fall into trouble even in the private sector when you are claiming benefits to pay the rent.

Re: Council Tax
 

Anything endorsed by you is a good reason in my book.;)

Re: Council Tax
 

I endorse that people should vote for the party that they genuinely feel will represent themselves. It isn't my job to persuade people to vote Conservative, as it seems Labour are currently doing a good enough job.

It will not bother me if Labour win in the elections, I will still support the Conservatives. If the only reason you can think of for not voting Conservative is my views then that is sad indeed.

Re: Council Tax
 

For all the good work Cyfr does for the party he supports, there's thankfully always someone who'll come along and undo it.:)

Re: Council Tax
 

I'm not a politician, I am part of the electorate, therefore I do not see why you think my opinion matters so much to everyone else? I am not a political campaign, therefore I do not ask you to vote on MY beliefs as a person.

Re: Council Tax
 

Still waiting.....:confused:

Also can anyone link me to the report regarding the 5% reserves?

Re: Council Tax
 

You posted that at 2.47 am, I hope your plan is not to keep waiting till he posts mate.

Get some sleep , AccyWeb will still be here in the morning. :rolleyes:

Re: Council Tax

Re: Council Tax

Re: Council Tax
 

Funnily enough that is the time a drunken young man rang me this morning. :rolleyes:

Re: Council Tax
 

Who might the some people be then?

Was he after a jump? Tell him to save the money on beer next time and just stick a bag on your head. :eek::p:rolleyes::D

Re: Council Tax

Re: Council Tax

Re: Council Tax

Re: Council Tax
 

Cheapskate :eek:

Re: Council Tax
 

That depends if his is into erotic asphyxiation or is just pretending she is someone else :rolleyes::D

Are you telling us that you and Michelle are together now? :confused:

Re: Council Tax
 

I didn't realise you and I were on a first name basis. Obviously I call you Neil, but that is because you have chosen to be recognised by that name in public. I on the other hand didn't realise you and I had such a personal relationship, nevermind Cyfr and I.

Re: Council Tax
 

Ok i'll donate to you a tesco or asda bag - your not getting my m&s ones though. Mind you i could find you an iceland one if need be....:p

Re: Council Tax
 

I am just naturally friendly

Re: Council Tax
 

Very much like chat room policy, what happens in my real life stays off the public boards too :)

I didn't sleep, I stayed up all night, though I was only studying.

Re: Council Tax
 

I thought student life was all booze and sex. I am glad I did not do the Uni bit after my A levels and got a proper job instead ;)

Re: Council Tax
 

Booze, sex AND studying... some times all at the same time :o

Re: Council Tax
 

Be careful.....you don't want your textbooks all sticking together. ;):D

Re: Council Tax
 

Funnily enough the last few chapters of my EU text book are all stuck together :p how did you know?

Re: Council Tax
 

its the way you tell um blazey:D

Re: Council Tax
 

Unfortunately it's stuck together because I spilled an entire can of coke all over it one night.

Re: Council Tax
 

The whole 500ml :eek:

Re: Council Tax
 

I'm still waiting for a response g jones

Re: Council Tax
 

Shoooooooooosh he's out canvassing

Re: Council Tax
 

According to this weekend's Observer, Britcliffes's gagged him.

Sounds kinky.:eek::D

Re: Council Tax
 

Well some body should, easy to tell when elections are afoot, Jones starts coming out with all the crap, a very desperate man me thinks:dummy:

Re: Council Tax
 

Well i am STILL waiting for a response. I hope he responds quicker to his residents!

Re: Council Tax
 

Graham is probably busy attending to the needs of the people in his ward...of which you're not one.

Until he starts a thread like your's, requesting political questions, you must be patient, for patience is a virtue.;)

Re: Council Tax
 

Often found in Women, but seldom in men:D

Re: Council Tax
 

Who?

Oh, virtue.

Phew.

Re: Council Tax
 

I do get the distinct impression he's avoiding this thread! I guess I'll have to wait until 2nd May.

Re: Council Tax
 

No I am not. I have been round Peel Ward. Doing something positive for other people. That's my first priority and your my last priority.

Re: Council Tax
 

No there wasn't. That is not true. THe Council is NOT ALLOWED to not balance the books. It's illegal and as a former Councillor (I think?) and political know it all, I'd expect you knew that but are concealing it.

In the Tories first quarter there was a 450k overspend. (ie a potential £1.8m deficit). Labour's year end books were straight. Fact.

Re: Council Tax
 

Three weeks on and he's still not managed to give me an answer. I now understand why people use the term 'typical politician'.

It is however nice to know that the Shadow Leader of the Council only cares about his own ward, saving his own skin, and is not concerned with the questions of the rest of the borough.

If Graham Jones gets in could the last person to leave please turn the light out?

Re: Council Tax
 

Glade to see your not always right Graham, I've never been a councillor, that was my former wife Sandra. As for the deficit or whatever you want to call it there was £1.8 million black hole, which the Tories have now sorted and the finances are now on sound footings again (say the audit commision not me)and going from strength to strength and even you should applaud that, but you won't:rolleyes:
