Wirral council and democracy
There is a coven of librarians who claim that somehow public libraries play an important role in 'democracy'. This is Blair speak which means government paid officials don't have to take any notice of what ordinary people think and want as long as they can proclaim their attachment to some nonsensical government agenda.
However there is a connection between public libraries and democracy and it is this. The clunk heads who put themselves up for election in the Wirral as councillors and who have subsequently appointed themselves as the ruling cabinet, and have just agreed with themselves to close 11 public libraries, should never never ever be elected again.
If there is any doubt about whom we are talking. Here are their names and their photographs

What a grim-looking bunch.
Did Steve Foulkes appear in Our Friends in the North?
These people should be ashamed of themselves. They were not elected upon a promise to close down the libraries... Andy Burnham must surely call this in otherwise we are not living in even a residual democracy.
