What is this..........

STEED · 10-02-07, 10:48 AM

Get a load of this, this afternoon I went to my public library to read the History magazine and first I find this and other high quality magazines will be no longer being stocked as from next month that is, reading for free. You want to read them you have to pay the loan charge. I put it to them I pay my Council Tax which cut no mustard with them then I pointed out a percentage of the council tax is given to them and yet this to had no impact on them, I was not the first to complain. What next a charge of the books they stock?

So it’s a case of onwards and upwards to the manager who refused to discuss this matter so it’s a time for a letter to my councillor who is a waste of space so I shall forward a copy to my member of parliament who is also a waste of space. I know it is all for nothing just like the on going parking restriction in my road which know one knows who requested it which has been going on for three years now.

Think about it STEED, if the general public could read at leisure, they might catch wind as to how screwed this country is. The government cant have that!

re bureaucratic crooks--

there was a "dispatches" last week which showed mp's (including tessa jowell and david cameron) using their housing allowance (taxpayer money supposed to pay for hotel rooms in london to allow mps to do their job) to pay for houses outside london, sell those houses, and keep the profit.

also showed there was a whole section of the tax code for mps -- 1 set of laws for us, and another for the ruling elite. so much for democracy.

speaking of local councils...

nothing but the best where I live you know.

Quote:

Motorists are being fined for parking in a space reserved for doctors - even though the surgery closed five years ago.

Quote:

Andy Thomas, head of city development at Leicester City Council, said the authority planned to remove the space.

He said: "By law, that means we have to advertise the proposal in draft form for three weeks, and then another advert confirming it for another six weeks.

"We hope to publish the first advert this month, and if nobody objects, we hope to be able to remove the parking space in January 2008."

I guess they've all been to busy spending our ever increasing council tax, closing down local community centres and levying out of date parking fines to be bothered to do something about this.

The closer you end up scrutinising issues like these the more you end up seeing things that are so badly wrong.

Well Steed, I think I already know your calling. You were born unto this Earth for the simple fact that you are going to create an public action committee to take back your government for the people. I don't think you will have any problem finding volunteers in the UK since I am pretty sure anyone who is not an outsider is having issue with the stupid government regulations of date.
