Chancellor George Osborne continues to show his true colours and prove that he really does love our bankers. In spite of public disgust at recently announced bonus payments being made – to the heads of now state owned banks – Osborne has said that they are necessary and justified, arguing that the bonuses were higher under [...]

I don’t know if the Government is paying Pete Waterman to be it’s PR Manager for its plans to build a high speed rail link so that we can all get into London quicker and spend our money there, but if he is then Mr Cameron should be asking for his money back! The performance by the [...] Today’s announcements in the media by Tory PM David Cameron will I’m sure be laughed at by the demoralised staff in our NHS. His suggestion that nurses will carry out hourly ward rounds, and that they need to learn that ‘caring is their main job’ and his proposed survey asking them if they would be happy [...] Marching through the streets of Blackburn town centre today I, like everyone else, was amazed by the fantastic turnout of demonstrators from all backgrounds and services. These were scenes that Blackburn has not witnessed for decades – not since the dark days of Margaret Thatcher and the poll tax. It feels like people are starting to realise [...] I’ve got to be honest – I haven’t been glued to the TV this week, excitedly listening to the words of wisdom from Chancellor George Osborne and Prime Minister David Cameron.

Not only will they be asked who they want to represent them on the local Council but they will also be asked whether they would like to keep the current voting system, known as ‘First Past the Post’ or change to a different [...] Wednesday 1st December 2010 will I am sure be remembered by Blackburn people for many years to come. There had been much publicity in the lead up to the Homecoming Service and parade by the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment and most expected it to be well supported by the public. However, I for one was amazed [...] The last few weeks in Blackburn with Darwen have been eventful to say the least. And having taken over as the Executive Member for Culture, Leisure and Sport I’ve certainly had a busy time grappling with the difficult issues facing the department. During the Summer the Labour group supported local residents in enthusiastic campaigns to stop [...] The shortsightedness of Tory policy astounds me more each day. With every day the TV news and the local press highlight more drastic cuts announced by the local Council and the national government. There has been much publicity surrounding Blackburn Council’s decision to close Shadsworth Leisure Centre as well as a string of community centres in deprived [...] The sweeping cuts being made by Blackburn Council’s Tory led administration, announced in today’s Lancashire Telegraph (1st July 2010) show their complete failure not only to understand the needs of the local community but also to stick up for Blackburn in Westminster. The cuts will have a massively damaging effect on those most in need - take Shadsworth [...] |
