The Labour Government

[Vic]

No, because i was commenting from my own perspective.
I don't proof read the forum before posting my own opinions.

If the council has allowed itself to get into such a position due to misspending, it's further proof the members need removing, and we do this by a democratic election.

Or does democracy come down to simply to money in your eyes? We've held elections even in wartime; 'oopsies, we've no moneez' doesn't cut it, sunshine.

Nothing like sharing ignorance.

Local elections were postponed in WW2 and during Covid, and by the last government when new unitary councils were being created. It's not about money either - it's other resources, when legal and other staff are busy sorting out who does what in the reorganisations.

It’s not about proof reading it’s the context and reading a comment directly above do you really think it makes sense to have an election for a council that won’t exist in 12 months I think does not ? Or fair to blame labour when the councils are choosing to do this and 7 of the 9 are Tory ?

Elections in war you say

Elections face further delays over councils shake-up

The prospect of further suspensions to local polls has triggered a blame game between the parties.

Whilst there is a precedent for cancelling elections to councils that are about to be replaced,

Due to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the next general election was not held until 1945.

This isn't just to protect against employees being verbally abused by customers.
How will publicans be expected to protect their employees from overhearing conversations in pubs by customers that they may find offensive or upsetting in virtue of their protected characteristics?

People getting sued when they have no control of what another person says.

If that’s your interpretation, we’ll leave it there

Boris Johnson delayed local elections in 2021 because their were practical reasons

Also Boris Johnsons paid for views

BORIS JOHNSON: Has Labour turned Britain into a dictatorship?

Oh come off it! Pull the other one, darling. It's got bells on. In trying to justify their decision to cancel elections next year, the Labour Government has just descended to complete absurdity.
