sinkov, just be grateful! You could be living amongst the old pit heaps where it is moan-along-a-leftie territory.
We had a local Labour council who managed to hold a council meeting with an overnight stay in a Gateshead hotel so that they could discuss the best ways to save money ---they only spent around £1500 for the one night!
They were eventually rumbled and the County Council took over and that has gradually turned blue, however, there is all sorts of skullduggery been going on there over the past couple of years.
The bottom line is that those in control of everything are doing quite nicely thank you very much. It doesn't seem to matter which banner you fly under because the overall banner is "I'm all right Jack!"
