I've been pretty impressed with ours, especially as politically they are widely regarded as entrenched (possibly corrupt) Labour - an area it's always going to be Labour regardless of what they do. Shows there is a difference between the elected councillors, and the people who actually get stuff done

Originally posted by d000hg View PostIt's emergency COVID money councils seem to have a lot of discretion. Remember last half term I think it was when government refused requests to provide FSM, and loads of restaurants etc were offering them? Our council offered it county-wide. No idea how they have cash for it!
Local people in my area set up the Covid volunteers within a day, started leafleting people the next day and then immediately started helping people. It took the council 2.5 weeks...

Originally posted by d000hg View PostCouncils have received a lot of extra cash. What is interesting now we follow this stuff as business owners, is how markedly differently councils are acting. Some are defunding everything they can, others are quite the opposite. Ours is actively working to give the cash to those who need it.

BTW the Brexit forum is still open so you can talk about the mess that is Scottish fishing and NI food issues.

Free school meals: Outcry over move not to supply at half term - BBC News
Here's our new future U-turn. I really don't get why they keep flogging this dead horse. It's proved incredibly unpopular and while I get the argument the government makes, the cost is absolutely minimal. Why not just say they are continuing it until we start to reduce restrictions and get the very cheap public applause.
They surely have advisors telling them all this...

They look bad on every show they go on. Even Dan Walker, blond himbo of BBC Breakfast, makes them look bad.

I would love to go on GMB if I were a slimy politician. No matter how bad and sleazy I was, I'd come out looking good compared to the host.
