Great points, but not only this - look at the other things councils are allowed to spend on - upgrades to their offices, ludicrous statues, rainbow crossings, unsafe cycle paths on main roads, chopping down trees to put unwanted cycle lanes (you mentioned bicycles, and it started me off ...)

70% of council tax wasted on such fripperies, plus gold plated pensions for people in government (Starmer, the hypocrite) £7k expenses for heating for Reeves ...

And every day we see more TV adverts pleading for money for clean water, eye treatments and cleft palate operations for third world countries all of which should be covered by our aid payments and money to the UN.

Makes my blood boil, the sheer waste of it all - and now to be lectured by Labour on what we should all do without? They won't last 5 years, and I will be cheering when they're ousted.

Meanwhile, they can stuff their bigoted opinions where the sun don't shine.

All national and local politicians are bereft of knowledge and incompetent and if there are any who are not they are too scared to speak the truth for fear of the backlash they would face from amongst others the liberal woke who dwell in the unreal world of make believe where windmills work, 22 billion is a black hole and not just a rounding error and everyone feed up with mass immigration is far-right.

Until we get grown up politicians of substances I'm afraid things will only get worse.
