Council Elections.

Who voted and for what/why in the council elections ?
With turnouts of 20-30% in many areas - not many of us.
The lib-dems took a real kicking - as expected.
The tories took a bit of a kicking - but not as bad as expected.
Labour took the majority of seats - but not as many as expected.
Ukip won a few seats.
The vast majority, including myself, find ourselves with no-one worthy of support.
The only interesting fact of note...
Ukip's anti-immigration beliefs won NO seats in areas where there is the highest migration !
London rejected farage and thank you londoners.
All political parties are the same - only representing the rich and themselves.
Whoever you vote for government wins.
Time for change.
Time for a workers party to represent ordinary people.

Are Local Authorities Breaking The law ?

On my way in to work this morning, I along with dozens of others, was held up by a flat bed driver, parked in the middle of the road, while lifting a car that had parked on double yellow lines, in Westminster.

Now I hate cars and their drivers. Nice as pie outside of their vehicles. Behind the steering wheel, they become blind, ignorant and demonic.
Their drive like idiots and park anywhere they like - even if its the middle of the road.

To my point.

The car being lifted was parked illegally. But not causing an obstruction.
Why lift it and cause massive inconvenience to others ??
Why not just clamp it ?

is it because of the massive amount of money involved ?
Eighty pounds to get them to unclamp your car.
Two Hundred and Fifty pounds to retrieve it from the Police Pound.

It is illegal to obstruct the Highway as this removal vehicle did.
A criminal act to deal with a civil matter.

Enforcing the Law.
I dont think so.

More like Highway Robbery.
