| So I stick with the belief that that all those years of Tory austerity were due to blind neo liberal ideology and not necessity but that doesn't mean that there should be no change at all. After all life changes and so does our place in the world. There are also Tories who said they took austerity too far and kept going for too long many years ago. David Cameron said he wished he'd taken it even further. There has long been criticism of the continued closure of the Household Waste & Recycling Centres and LBE seem to have been very tardy in giving us more information on what our next steps to a circular economy should be and helping it get going as part of the West London Waste Authority with greater shared resources but then Defra has had several consultations about regularising recycling nationwide and not made the decisions Councils need to move forward and its Councils that have all problems and challenges of dealing with the contracts that need to be allowed to run out/be terminated and procuring new. Changing systems for residents is definitely a challenge for both, keeping on changing them unnecessarily would surely be most definitely worse. There are people who still haven't grasped the basics and then there is the challene of new technology too. I haven't forgotten the 'cashback' that the Tory Council gave us just before a Council election when services were clearly still needing it and which many of us preferred to give to charity rather than take it. Politics seems very unsavoury. How many people can afford to or will give their time free nowadays? |
