We have the misfortune of being under a Liberal Democrat led council since 2023. Recently I've come to the conclusion that they are the party of hypocrisy, being neither liberal, nor democratic. They close down free speech, supress individual freedom, and ignore the collective opinion of their constituents.

I'm thinking of contacting Trading Standards... :lol:
I went to visit my daughter recently and she is in a Lib Dem controlled area.

20mph everywhere, including on the main road and so many restrictions it was almost impossible to work out which road I could or couldn't use to get to her.

Then trying to find somewhere I could park turned into another adventure!

Don't get me started on parking.

The Lib Dem council in St Albans recently 'upgraded' their local parking...

I mean, just look at it!

Now here's a rant: why are the wealth creators called wealth creators when in fact they keep the wealth to themselves. :shock:

Because wealth creation is not a zero sum game. Everybody benefits! Some more than others, granted, but everybody benefits.

I know and I could never understand why Labour MPs are not called "Wealth Spenders"? But note: always other people's wealth!
