As if the people of North Wales haven’t had enough to put up with
being snowed in the past few days they have also had to put up with an invasion
of Labour Party members all keen to be seen and heard at their Llandudno
Conference.
With practised lines about swingeing cuts and protecting the people
of Wales they collectively delivered the biggest load of b******t to have hit
the North Wales coast in some considerable time. No need for us Southerners to feel too left
out though, apparently the Westminster Shadow Cabinet are going to visit their
colleagues down the Bay because, apparently, they think they have a lot to learn
from them.
Quite what that is may be difficult for many of us to
fathom. We have a failing education
system, a Health service that does not meet the need of the people, and higher unemployment
than anywhere else in the UK. So what do
they hope to learn?
Apparently, according to Wales Online,
‘First
Minister Carwyn Jones’ Labour government in Cardiff Bay has often won praise
from Mr Miliband and party members across the UK for how it is protecting
working families from swingeing cuts coming via Westminster’
So they would protect us from the raised tax threshold, the fuel
duty freeze, the cut in duty on beer, etc.
They don’t want to see businesses benefiting from the employers
allowance which will mean small businesses will not have to pay National
Insurance Contributions (NICs) under £2,000.
Ed Milliband spoke of how Labour are doing a great job protecting families in Wales. He spoke of what they
are doing in relation to the Council Tax Benefit proposals – no mention of
labour controlled Councils such as RCT putting up Council Tax for those hard working
families by 3.95% and increasing charges for services by way over inflation, around
7 / 8%.
Some of the tweets from Welsh Labour, presumably unintentionally,
showed how shallow the Labour ideas pool really is.
‘Ed:
What they did to Remploy was disgraceful. We're going to need some sort of
system to help people into work.’
Some sort of system? Any
clues as to what?
‘Ed: we
have to cap payday loans and work out a way to provide alternative lines of
credit.’
Going to start on that any time soon are they?
Same old Labour, same old bull……
