Local elections
Both Labour and the Conservatives are telling us that they want to put the power to influence public services into local hands.
So why is everyone hiding the fact that there are local elections in progress at the moment? In London every borough is about to elect a new council. I have not seen one mention of candidates in our area anywhere.
We are being conned-- and if you don't believe Google "Total Place" and join in the discussions. That is where the state officials of both national and local government are carving up the public services to make sure they keep their own jobs.
Elections? Listen to the public? You must be joking.
