  1.  @John-cq8gr  who's been in charge, local government in Burnley for the last 100 years? Well it's been labour, and no question about it!

  2.  @RandallSlick  you see how councils waste their money? speed humps, bicycle lanes, when they'd be better off filling pot holes. The Burnley Business awards (organised and paid for by the council) included a champagne reception, live musical performers and bespoke trophies. In addition, ten entertainers (dressed in highly elaborate costumes as trees, shrubbery and wildlife) were hired for photographs with guests. This award ceremony cost over £25,000 of taxpayers’ money. Local governments have many sources of income, government grants, speeding tickets, parking fines, council tax and business rates. Even the jockos were wasting money on mobile homes, and five star travel.

  3. ​ @michaelallan5317  Councils waste money - on speed bumps, bike lanes and enterprise zapping clean air zones and yellow lines everywhere - then there's things such as putting 60 bollards outside a primary school by Birmingham council council. Golden handshakes and salaries of £150k+ This country spends £168.2 billion a year on the NHS which I sounds like a lot of money to me, and I'm not sure we're getting value for money. Glasgow city council has 14 press officers - can you imagine? Sheffield city council employs 24 press officers - which is more than the entire government department for international trade. Manchester city council had the most valuable art collection in the country (worth a £369 million) of which only 8% is on display. In 2017-18 the UK’s local authorities spent £6,593,523 on award ceremony's. Between January 2016 and December 2017 at least 6,047 council-owned commercial properties were declared vacant, with the total cost of providing security, insurance, maintenance and renovation of these properties was £74,022,381 a year!.... would you like me to go on, I've got stacks of this stuff.
