Did You Ever Get The Feeling That You'd Been Cheated?

Stoke-on-Trent City Council has announced £35million in cuts to its budget yesterday, cuts that will result in the cesation of a number of frontline services (not luxuries). Next year there will be a further £20million in cuts to the budget, the year after that we must assume another £20million will be lost (and so on and so forth). All of these cuts to public services are in stark contrast to the massive £1trillion bail out of the corrupt traitor banks of the west. Much of the bail out money is being directed straight into the pockets (through bonuses) of the awful banking scum-bags who are responsible for the financial plight that the British People are currently suffering!
I can only deduce from these drastic reductions in the grant that the council receives from government - means that the government has undertaken a programme of 'diminishing' local government to the point where it will simply become a skeleton staffed outpost of government itself. If my prediction is correct then within 10 years Stoke-on-Trent City Council will be half the sise it is today and its main function will be to oversee the collection of council tax. All of the traditional functions (social housing, estate maintenance, old folks homes, schools) will be put into the hands of privateers to own and control. Some might say that this is a good idea, I'm not one of them - because we will lose all of the democratic control that we have come to expect and enjoy over the past 100 years. And with that loss of control come the risk (inevitability) that these functions will cease to serve the best interests of the people and will instead come to serve the best interests of the companies that own them.
I believe that this is the beginning of the end for local government and local democracy.
With a small council comes small politics, this is exactly what our masters in London want - safe, small, controllable politics.
I think at the end of the day that the governing class (the people who fund and control the Lib/Lab/Con front organisations) are afraid of the future and are desperately rigging the political structures so as to minimse the imminent threat from the growing 'angry mobs'! Before you think I am exaggerating this situation I will make you aware that over the past six weeks I have attended seven meeting with BNP enquirers in Stoke-on-Trent. The men who I have met with are telling me that they feel betrayed, abandoned and cheated by a a succession of traitor governments! More than this they are convinced that the only way that things will change in Britain is through revolution! Of course I do my best to try to assure these very angry Britons that the best way forward is through the democratic process, but I have to admit that this becoming increasingly difficult in light of our governments endless restrictions and manipulations upon the democratic structures (reducing councillor numbers and all out elections every four years in Stoke - for example).

All in all, I have to say I agree with the governing classes view of the future - they are quite right to be afraid - trouble is coming their way!
