      They used all our council tax money to give themselves a huge pay rise above inflation a few years back.
      Most staff have new high end cars.
      The council skint themselves by lining their pockets with the council tax payments of the people of the borough.
      Wasted money on ridiculous stuff.
      They decorated a new meeting office & it didn't have enough seats.
      This is all truth, I've friends who work within the offices in Grays, Essex.

      Indeed - all Councils should be audited and frequently so - it is taxpayers money after all and we therefore have a right to know where it's being spent. Would be even better if we had a say on how it's spent, both at local (Council) level, but also National (Government) level. Sick of being left living paycheck to paycheck every month, whilst Government Ministers are continually able to live high on the hog - just wrong !

    A lot of the pubs closed down due to violence, why would anyone pay to do up and run a pub just to get it wrecked, same in grimsby and jaywich, it undoubtedly run down but the people have not really helped when nobody will invest in a town center that's just full of crime, I live in Northampton, 2 estate's a mile from each other exactly the same flat same council, one has kept it tidy litter picking and keeping on top of crime, the other has a burnt out car broken windows old cans and beer bottles graffiti everywhere and just looks like a totally slum, the only people who stay are people who can't get out and so it goes on till it becomes a craphole, my area is clean tidy no problems no grafitti or crime, both the same council, people have to make an effort to improve their life and their community, I'm skint but I do litter pick and treat my area and neighbours with respect, it really has to start with a community helping itself, really can't blame it all on politicians, the pubs closed because of violence the shops left because of shoplifting and harrasment, not an easy fix but it can be done

      The UK economy was killed by refusing to let the mines and other old dead industries die. Throughout the 1970's and into the 80's until Thatcher the UK put itself behind the rest of Europe and wasted billions in subsidies to skyrocket the national debt.
      The Dutch closed the coalmines in the early 1970's, that region was normalising by the end of the 2010's. Thanks to Labour, the UK did so only in the mid '80s. Guess what? Same recovery period applies there.

Or to open an office cross the border and to make use of the cheaper import/export price point.. lol.. But instead, they do things this way ? I don't get it.... lol... Even though I can get from Amazon, I still visit my local Tesco.. and my local wet market as well.. and the local butchers.. etc etc.. And I also buy from different places as well... so everybody gets my money. The locals here are very good people... They are. And once you paid off your business, and the overheads, you still keep steady the prices, so that you are basically creating a wage economy. And if you do have extra or excess.. and it goes through another business cycle. Then bank that money. It just goes into a building society, or a cooperative. How else, can you function without an actual economy to function with ???... Create a local cooperative bank !...

      A lot of people live in different areas across the UK. The difference can be big... but I had no idea it was this big of an actual difference ? So... and everybody is busy fighting their corners, so.. Unless, you have a steady group of people, doing their bits for their community and local community, then it isn't as easy.. Actually. So.... What this small area, would indeed benefit from, is actual Windfarms.. and then get that connected to the grid, and help US, as a country to reduce the energy bills... If anything. At the very very least. And then we will get talking, actually. So.. And therefore, this would mean a maintenance team as well.. and therefore, literally would be a community energy area...
      My area is kind of lost now. We lost our small towns and merged together to be a devolved region, cos we too, went bankrupt... (and now, we do have pockets of depressed areas, but maybe not as bad, but we became bigger.. I remember when I was a child, it was different)... But since becoming bigger.. people are now creating small local businesses, to go back and to regenerate those old and derelict housings. So that is on going.. Some are indeed in bad shape as well. I didn't even know.. Even if we revitalise all housing, it still takes time. The issue is that, not everybody is willing to move away ?

    There have been slums in England for as long as there have been cities. You can throw money at places like Tilbury, but until you grip the feckless and feral underclass, it is largely money wasted. One problem in the UK is that slum values have entered mainstream culture. Another problem is that middle class liberals refuse to "be judgmental" towards people who embrace underclass values. Nor will they hold foreigners and their descendants to account for foul behaviour that runs contrary to British societal norms.

  • @davepfizer
    @davepfizer 4 місяці тому +1

    The working platform has moved and the peoples skills have been made invalid. The idea that you can just shut down factories and it has no effect is just stupid. Still we can have things made cheap in China and sell the souls of those in places like Tilbury because we will make huge profits and the turn over in shoddy Chinese goods will be huge. Meanwhile the support of those left behind falls inevitably to the government and councils and yet show them the results of probably 50 years of lack of vision and they will shrug and say oh we built a lot of industrial units so there are jobs but show me an industrial estate and I can show you places that just store junk manufactured outside the country that are distribution centres with no more than 6 staff. We don't have an idea of what people need and worse we don't care. Not everyone thinks working in an office shuffling paper is a valid way to spend 8 hours a day and nor do they think that travelling 4 hours a day to do it at an extortionate price on the trains is valid either. A rethink is required.
