The Chains That Bind

Anyone still defending the impending unitary local government here in County Durham, just read this.

And note that Durham, a city, is graciously to be granted a Town Council, i.e., a Parish Council. Lanchester has a Parish Council, and I am proud to be in my third term on it. But Lanchester is not a city. A city wants, needs and deserves a City Council.

This is all about softening us up for the return of the regional assembly, already rejected in a referendum.

We don't want your wretched assembly. We want proper spending, proper results to show for it, proper local government, and a proper Parliament with proper MPs in it.
