If you do deliveries you don't deliver just the odd letter

No such thing
I was surprised by your original comment there is so much that can be fired at cabinet members but to suggest they never had jobs is just silly.
Up until the last local elections I have voted Labour and was starting to be tempted to vote for noo-tory but just before polling day our local Conservatives went door to door with a flyer saying if they got voted in they would donate ?40000 to a local campaign group to fight the building of a waste recycling plant in the area.
You can make your own decisions on how that adds up to Mr Cameron everything green agenda but what got me angry was their attempt to bribe and ultimately buy votes.
The tory's got in (and backtracked on their ?40000 donation when the legality was questioned) but since they have most of those elected have not been seen in the area.
The only one who has is a local businessman and everything he does has a link to his business when reported.
It's all Cllr X who owns X Garden Centre, never Cllr X the Cllr for the ward.
Labour has many many faults but the noo-tory's have shown me nothing locally that makes me want to vote for them.
Cameron talks well but when he came up here last in his helicopter he wouldn't let it be photographed, only his car and look at 'Dave' being green was used.
