SO now we know the truth, New Labour, same old election bribes,

Mr Rodin is quoted as saying that he knew that cuts in the council's budget would have to be made back in February. At the same time his party was campaigning in the local elections on what a marvellous job Labour were doing. Doesn't look quite so good now does it?

This Labour council has spent without regard for the consequences of its actions over the last four and a half years. It is now having to make hastily drawn-up and drastic cuts across the hoard.
