The greed of wanting everything whilst producing nothing and damaging relationships, bullying and misleading the public then using stepping stones to achieve ultimate power is no better illustrated than the destruction of the Lib Dem party by team Cameron.
As Laymen we have been watching the localised use of so called ‘Independents’ as the Tories designed stepping stone to lock the Town of Bedlington into their grasp and keep the Labour Party from gaining a working political majority in Northumberland County Council, a Council that has been ruined over the last three and a quarter years by the ‘talk all and do nowt’ Conservatives.
Its said in Politics that people have short memories, well as a Layperson I remember the current leadership of the County Council being in charge of Castle Morpeth District Council a Council historically famous for failure and I’m sure many of our readers will recall that time period and how Castle Morpeth folk suffered. If it hadn’t been that the County Council was held by Labour the area would have slipped into the maelstrom.
The Independents voted in by the people of Bedlington are really Tory-dependents attempting and failing to pick up the crumbs from the table of their overlords.
They haven’t delivered on Pipers Place or stopped additional house building in Bedlington nor on any of the pledges promised at their election and their time is running out. Minutes of Council show that they voted to support the Tories Local Plan which dumps thousands of homes on South East Northumberland over the next decade, many of them in Bedlington.
Another method the Tories use to change opinion is through local social media and their use of the Bedlington Matters site to excellent effect has locked in the anti-ultra left message into the minds of the Bedlington populous and their Cummings style propaganda marooned Labour in its wake, a wake that has held over the last three years. But Labour has now moved on.
The announcement in the last PM question time before the summer break from Keir Starmer that “Labour is under new management” has rippled cross the Nation with the new ‘Starmer Style’ Party picking up speed rapidly in readiness for next years Local Government Elections and with the recently reborn Militant Tendency once again slipping out of sight the social media messages of the ‘Matters’ groups are being challenged by ordinary voters who can see the light.
We understand Local Labour who are changing with the wishes of their Party still have the plans designed involving Bedlington’s public and schools for the Pipers Place site, they still have the commercial contacts to deliver what was wanted on the site and true to form the Conservatives who have begun to spin in reverse through panic have shown them where the cash is coming from for its development as the Conservatives have now pointed towards County Hall in Morpeth being too large and obsolete in preparation for the sale they were so against in 2017.
