As have Labour, however the bad work they have done in central government would more than offset that for me, it did for me as I voted for them in the last election.

My local District Council has been Tory-led for seven years. In the seven years Council Tax has not been raised. When the Lib Dems were in charge, they raised it 300%.

Well that just proves they cut services elsewhere to me?...

And I'm sure that at least 90% of the population outside of London have had enough of being told what to do by a Westminster elite so out of touch. That is why UKIP are gaining ground. No one in London pays anyone outside of London the slightest bit of interest. Bet they have woken up now and are choking on their Organic Muesli.

Something like six of the top ten poorest boroughs in the country are in London. What a daft thing to say.

And that's the definition of 'us and them' :joker:

Rotherham: a working man's town steeped in steel-building history and unquestionably a Labour stronghold. Ed Miliband's
party accounts for all three local MPs and has
controlled the council for eight decades.

10 UKIP Council men won in this Labour stronghold.

Utter Bliss

but you are conservative are you not sound like you just pick who ever wins the easy option a lot like the conservative :idc:

you need to back up what you saying why is it Utter Bliss

I come from Newham and I don't think I've ever eaten muesli, organic or otherwise.

i was Barking up the wrong tree

Actually well done to UKIP for a really good showing there,really however in a place like that, 'there is only really Labour to take seats from', although UKIP took 8 seats from Labour and their other 2 from the Conservatives.

I woudn't be reading that much into things,Labour lost a Bradford by election to George Galloway,yet on thursday Respect was nowhere really in the local elections.
The areas the BNP were breaking through in recent years, have gone back to how things were in the main.
The voters of Rotherham for example, knew they could in part vote for another party with the knowledge that Labour would still be left well in control of the council and they for sure didn't want to go Conservative or Lib Dem.

Now, if that success on thursday continued in the coming years,fair enough, somehow I don't think it will.
It will surprise me if Ukip build much on that result to be honest but having said that, Labour need to address why those voters who switched,went to UKIP and not other parties.

Its like Gordon Brown Again.


Feck Labour
confused and horrible

Arista are you from Rotherham as well?

Rotherham born and bred Arista is

Ha didn't even know that. Thought it was funny when he made an article about Rotherham specifically a couple of months back over a national topic just put it down to him seeing it on a local new slide or something.

What do you make of Labour finally getting a bloody nose here then Arista?

East Dene to be specific, a 2 up 2 down off the A620

:suspect:

Does everybody know where Arista lives except himself?

Been through East Dene a few times but never long enough to get mugged :hehe:

He sounds more like a Kimmy lad our Arista anyway.

Kimmy?

he is not some chav:nono:

No London

Give over :hugesmile:. it's the best part of Rotherham with the possible exception of Thorpe Hesley. Arista would be honoured to be from Kimberworth.

So many voters do not want Ed Miliband as a PM
including Labour

They lied to me :fist:

not far from me then :ninja2::amazed::flutter:
