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%.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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