It bugs me!
What does?
- Hairs in my food
- My cat catching squirrels all the time
- The Tories in Bury being such control-freaks that they’ve even rearranged the mayoral ceremony so we/Labour don’t vote down their agenda tomorrow
- The amount of self-interest & egotism in ALL politics and most politicians
- The amount we spend on “defence” in Iraq, but we don’t have enough for proper flood defence at home
- The fact that most things in the UK get ignored first time; done wrong second time; and re-done almost correctly at the third attempt!
- Most people’s ignorance of their own governance arrangements & democratic forums
Distant Lands:
I am appalled at the situation in China, and also the recent cyclone damage in Burma. The difference of attitude of the news agencies to such similar terrible natural events, and the relationship of the respective governments is surely no coincidence?
We/the US don’t like Burma’s “junta” - so they must be handling things badly. China is a very powerful nation, due to hold the Olympics this year, and they appear to be doing everything possible to save lives. Hmmmmm!
Local Stuff:
On a local note, the planning “Local Development Framework” is now at stage 2. Bury Council are setting out their plans for development for the forthcoming few years, so your views are important - READ IT & COMMENT ON IT NOW! I will!!!
There is significant change to local parkland going on at the moment. Did you see the proposals from the Forestry Commission for Irwell Valley? It was on display at the local Clough Day - why weren’t you there? It was brilliant! Come along next year and show that WE ALL LOVE PRESTWICH!
have your say
