Off Topic Starmer/ Reeves: last man standing

Sadly mate you telling the same people over and over again, people who couldn’t give a
s hit about Farage and probably hate his guts,
How many posts to the same people would you call an obsession? 40, 60, 80 over a 100
I bet I can guess where you are.
That mate is a obsession.

 

Live in Durham CC and have done for nearly 66 years,to tell the truth I never notice any difference no matter who’s in charge, all I do know is the council tax goes up every year, and you want anything doing be it local transport,environmental or social matters NOBODY listens to you

 

Do you like in DCC?, perhaps you can enlighten me

 

Good to hear.

 

Fair enough. All I can say is when the Tories and liberals came into power in 2010 mainly councils in the north were hit harder with cuts than those in the south (pretty sure there was a report circulating in local government at the time which highlighted some councils in the south actually saw increases).

One of the biggest costs in local government is staff. If we value workers obviously they will get percentage increases in salary hence rises. However, adult social care is very big cost and only going higher as people live longer. Whatever government is in power hasn’t dealt with this (though Johnson said he would). There has to be cross party consensus to tackle this massive issue imho.

 

There’s only one person who’s fcuk’d County Durham and we still haven’t recovered, and we all know who that was
