Will a Tory town hall victory in May lead to bitter defeat in July? | David Hencke

Last Updated: May 19, 2015By

This weekend’s Observer contained a very interesting article from Toby Helm revealing that local councils are planning to lobby the government like mad to stop yet another huge wave of cuts.

What was interesting is that it was coming from the victorious Tory leaders in May’s local elections who are now fearful of having to implement heavy unpopular cuts to local services.

    it’s a bit late now as the public voted for the cuts in the election

    The public cant complain now there being enforced or are the public daft ?

    If there anything like where i live i would say with regret they don’t care with a deep selfishness intellect

    I’m not sure if they just like playing the fool or are just a fool but for me i just find them very bizarre

    If you ask them anything they haven’t a clue they overall act like sheep in all my travels across the world there certainly the most odd and to this day i don’t know why that is ?

      Less than 20% of the adult public voted Tory. Hardly a ringing endorsement of cuts!

        It was a little more than that, I thought (although not much more)!
