09:4190940agreed brian, on big issues such as joining the single currency the question is clear, most local issues are more blurred and a simple yes or no is not applicable.
there will be little enough money without extra expenses like local referendums.

02:2891107That's funny, Brian. I was just reading about the Paleolithic Stone Age in Britain; apparently it never happened. Nor the Mesolithic.
Which of the two are you trying to lead us into?

Part of the Localism act if you read it,is that the district councils must let the parish councils have more say in running the parish and more say about any building plans that might happen in the said parish that does not happen if a building plan comes along ie= the whitfield one you all know about then the District council must let the parish council have more of a say on if it should or not go ahead this did not happen and still any bulding plans that come infront of a parish council even if that council votes against going ahead the district council still have the last say and they do even if the parish council have already said no and there is nothing the parish councls can do about it or town council which is a parish council and no more then that.So the act is worth nothing and it was a wast of time and paper and money.

The Localism Bill was another lie from the clueless Government that reneged on its promise of Direct Democracy, stripping out of the Bill the promise of a referendum on important local issues so as to allow developers and district councils to go ahead and do what they want and build pig-ugly housing estates all over England, ripping out our woods and farms.
A clueless government that inherited £750 billion of Public Debt, made it become £1.2 trillion in three years, imposed austerity, and whose main agenda now appears to be to propel our Country into a war against Syria in the name of traitors and terrorists and give us the final boot down the pathway to catastrophe.
All with no Democracy and against the will of the majority!
A government that has had no problem allowing Jihadists to travel from London to Syria to join Al Qaeda and return to the UK.
While claiming British soldiers were sent to Afghanistan to fight terrorism.
It's all lies, lies, lies.... they will not give us Democracy, nor a referendum on the EU, but they send our soldiers to Afghanistan while Jihadists go to Syria to fight for Al Qaeda, and then return with their bomb-making hands carrying suitcases.
Rather be a brave man and stand and say the facts, then be led like dumb sheeple down the road to slaughter.
Cowards never speak up, and history will never remember them!
