Can't understand how that can happen, something needs to be done to change the and improve councils finances!
Imagine weightlifting 'til you have the strength of 10 people.
Then.. you absolutely *refuse* to walk on your own 2 legs and instead...
INSIST.. on making 3-year-olds give you piggyback rides everywhere.
Those snollygosters know they're on a gravy train for the next five years and that concludes all the notes they have taken.
Little people pay for the billionaire's billions slushing around the system across the globe.
How much do the "rich" use Council services anyway? Likely less than most, save for rubbish collection and local road works.
Yeah, only the poor use these.
Tax the rich!!
But, tax the rich.
Prices extortionate, service poor.
Well done Brexit and allowing rw miscreants like Bojo, Sunak, Farage, Starmer to sell lies and then further rw media to broadcast it as truth
Reform has discovered that demonising immigrants works and the right wing newspapers are only too happy to reinforce Farage's divide and rule policy.
