Sorry to start another political thread, but I have just published our alternative to the spending cuts at Wesdt Berks here: http://www.newburylabourparty.org/a-better-way

Forget that it's a Labour Party plan for a second, what do you think of the content? Hopefully the Tories will think twice before attacking public services again and instead look at Council waste. We could have saved more than £12m, but we just don't have the detail to see what some departments do.

Why even bother complaining about 'political' posts? Just don't read them. Certainly don't bother replying to them if they annoy you so much.
