Even more astonishing in Buckinghamshire
As the story unfolds in Buckinghamshire, it becomes even more bizarre.
This piece is in the Buckinghamshire Free Press today
This really does seem to be in complete conflict with Mark Field's speech last Friday- demonstrating the importance of getting his Task Force running as soon as possible-- in the direction of County Hall in Aylesbury.

If you honestly place the slightest faith in Mark Field and Tory Central Office being able to have the slightest influence within their 75% majority of Buckinghamshire County Council then you really are drinking from the wrong goblet.
This is not Tony's Croniues running Buckinghamshire but rather the last members of Thatcher's (blue sky thinking**) England.
Mark Field will solve nothing, because he is all waffle and will come out with the party line "when we are in power we will be better able to make councils such as Buckinghamshire understand,blah...blah...waffle"

>> Field said he had gained support and advice from within the book industry for his proposed venture and added, “We are in talks with IT companies and other organisations to help with some blue sky thinking about modernising the library service without in any way reducing the core function of a library which we see as lending books and providing reference and other materials.” <<
