It's good to see that, despite having a heavy workload as PM, David Cameron has found time to represent his constituents by writing to Oxfordshire County Council to complain about the service cuts after his government has reduced their funding by 36%.

That's a bit like Heinrich Himmler complaining about the air quality over Auschwitz

Is it his fault if the council are spunking all their money on holidays for tearaway kids and bone idle staff or overpaid execs?

Posted

I don't know what the problem is.

 

As the MP for that constituency, he's only doing his job in responding to what his constituents want -  if he agrees with it or not is irrelevant, it's his job

 

Anyway, their money has been cut....so has everybody elses, they just need to get on with it.......or should we just give all County Councils as much money as they want?

A big if!

Anyway they won't have tearaway kids in his constituency

So, are Bolton's problems all of DC's creation or are they not a total and utter fucking mess irrespective?

By the way, Malcolm, I didn't have you down as a yoghurt knitting cardigan wearing mung bean salad eater.

A little part of me is now in mourning

Think we all know the answer to that. Witnessed inefficiencies my self and always said they could do as much with less. Thirty odd percent cut is still going to hurt any organisation though, and in itself is no guarantee of improved efficiencies. Indeed they may become an excuse for them.

Going back to Oxford County Council, weren't they told to flog some property that they had a surplus of as well, which would more than make up for cuts they have received?  -  Don't know how true this is, just heard some dullard on the radio wittering on about it

 

I'm not sure what a property "surplus" is in County Council terms - presumably buildings that aren't being used, or are being grossly underused

Bolton is trying to cram as many departments into the town hall as possible with less desks than staff

This is so they can sell the wellsprings, paderborn house etc.(no idea who wants these neglected 80's office buildings)

Same thing that happened in Thatchers era when the council sold the market place etc.

Not sure how the council is going to make up the short falls the year after they've managed to find some sap to buy the buildings to cover that years short fall.

You were right first time NB. A FOI request showed that although Sean Harris (this guy's predecessor) official salary was £160,000 with extras like pension etc he was paid £200,000.

I thought I'd not plucked that figure from the air. Thanks :) Edited by no balls

Decent? Fucking hell, they're on more than the bloke that runs the country!

 

I know it's nothing to do with it......but Rooney earns that in a week

So the market hall/place was sold due to thatchers policies? Never knew that. I'm guessing that then led indirectly to the monstrosity the market hall became when they changed it then?

Pretty much.
