Only a few days left before the local elections, I think Labour will take a bit of a hammering in this one. They seem to have come of the track a little; I think Blair jumped ship at the right time. It probably won’t make any difference to us, we will just get rid of one bunch of scheming idiots only to be replaced by another bunch of crooks.

I have now living in Southend on Sea for about six years and in that time nothing has happened in the town to benefit the public. What has happened in that time, well the councillors have had there expenses increased by 70%, the pier has burnt down, we have had a landslide on the seafront and nothing had been done about it, oh and the illuminations have been taken down.

The town has become so run down, the locals people don’t even recognise the place, all this under a Conservative council. The local MP is no better he claimed £23,000 last year for a second home even though he only lives 30 minutes from the Houses the of Parliament and he does even live in the town.

We should line all the politicians up and shoot them, (god I sound like a 1970’s socialist). I just get so fed up with how inept and sometimes corrupt these people are it maddening
