Threads over when we all decide, not just you.

Any comments on these Tory Councils?

Yesterday you were implying that it wasnt these Labour councils fault - it was to do with extra demand of the socially deprived areas they represent. But as you have seen Tory councils have gone bust as well (albeit not as many as Labour ones).

Just face a fact - poorly run councils (like health boards) go t1ts up due to idiots running them (Birmingham is a basket case full of badly run projects and corruption.

If the socially woke right on Birmingham council had paid women equally - they wouldnt be in this mess. Im sure you 'll come back saying it was Thatchers fault or let us know about some imaginary woman you've sh@gged

Re: Birmingham Council declares bankruptcy

The irony of Labour in Birmingham and in other cities is their hypocrisy , they were done in court for denying female workers equal pay, they then have the cheek to rename streets in Birmingham (at a cost ) as Equality , Fairness .

Got feck all to do with politics its about incompetence of one of the biggest urban areas in Europe.

They are basically useless and funded well enough to support key services. Even the Unite Union leader had called out their known poor management of finances .

They are top of the
Town Hall Rich List with 21 officials earning over well over £100,000. With some eye watering salaries, for eye watering failure.

Nothing to do with the bloody Tories, more to do with incompetence.

Read the reality, and stop socalist blame gaming .

Re: Birmingham Council declares bankruptcy

With respect though Mo, that's a bit simplistic. There are so many variables in running a local authority. And i'm not saying that money isn't wasted, because it is.

whilst simplistic, it is still correct. you can only spend what you collect. in the case of BCC, they spent far more.

BTW i'm not disagreeing with you about cuts to services and trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, I disagree that you cannot look at it in a simple way.
