| "Er' sorry folks but I think I got it wrong again!" "...Shit, did I just say sorry?" |
Apologies to readers for my prolonged absence from blogging, but I will pull my finger out and get back into the swing of things now the
endless election circus is over bar the shouting over the replacement for Red (I got it wrong again) Ed Miliband; which, looking
at the calibre of ‘candidates’self-promoting themselves, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s more
like 50 shades of Blair, - if these characters are the best that Labour have got, well that's fine with me as it will surely see them languishing in opposition for many, many years.
Now, just because I have taken time out from writing, doesn't mean I stopped observing the various shenanigans which have been going on
inside the now empty Ashton Town Hall. Especially the underhanded removal of various
Tory committee chairs, who it is rumoured, would not dance to the leaders tune.
(Watch this space for the full story at a later date)
And then of course there’s the ‘gift that keeps on giving’ the
tinker 'tea-pot' Taylor, who
still wouldn't understand the meaning of the word democracy
if Leonard Cohen himself galloped down Globe Lane on a white charger singing
the Sweet Freedoms Song.

Mind you, there are
many words that the Bard of Dukinfield doesn't understand; not all of them those that are hard to spell. Like, listening, acting on and carrying out
constituents wishes, especially when it applies to the wider electorate.
Any party that has been in power for decades eventually
become a byword for all that was worst in local government. But, when it’s
become such a long lucrative career, with very little chance of being voted out, complacency
is bound to creep in.
So, councillors, if I may borrow the words of Sting:
Every move you
make.
Every vow you
break.
Every smile you
fake.
Every claim you
stake
I'll be watching
you
Taylor is still in denial over Labours heavy defeat nationally.Whilst chewing his sour grapes,spending half an hour picking litter,and making sure photo posted , he attempts as always to find positives out of obvious negatives.Ashton Market always crowded ,people falling over themselves to join Labour ,knocking on doors etc. Pity he doesnt listen to peoples concerns locally.
ReplyDeleteLabour sold itself out to the Blairites in '94, whose purpose was to win an election at any cost after 18 years out of power - itself caused by their ruinous period in office in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteThe cost has turned out to be the party's soul.
It is now a directionless, pointless organisation led by a collection of failures and non-entities. Judging by their individual performance, many of their MPs appear to be the result of quota system selection of the worst kind.
