With my entrance into the "you can't get things done here" realm of politics, the thought occurs to me -
"Why fight the buggers?"
All that effort talking, persuading, holding public meetings and finally - getting nowhere - other than stressed out and frustrated.
Why not use all those man hours of effort and just go and get the job someone else should be doing - done.
The next stage would be to deprive the buggers of our cash to throw around and waste. There's a move afoot to give more power directly to the people. Hand us back the decision making and some cash and keep the self-serving politicians out of it. An improved version of the Community Neighbourhood Forums with some increased funding - How about seeing what we could do with £250,000 ? That's £20 per person in Ulverston.
Road signs painted, cobbles repaired, Signs functioning, Dragley Beck behaving itself and a bit left over for the odd school building built with local labour.
How many bricks can you buy for £25,000 ? Can anyone build a vertical wall, someone else understand Building Regs, some one else teach? Wow - we're off!
Are they still debating the issue in County Hall - some one tell them to go home and sleep - the school's built and the first class just graduated and just gone off to the university of life ! Any councillors ready for their nice snug beds with room service and a a matron who tells them what to think "Get up it's 9 am, go to bed its 9pm. Who needs them?
Make sense to anyone?
Be careful this is pretty close to Communism - what's going on - have our minds been infiltrated by the terrorists?
