Last night i attended the Town Hall, for the setting of this year's budget. It was a eventful evening, the public gallery was packed with union repesentation, and the police were called in to eject one angry man who refused to listen to the Mayor and continued shouting out against the cuts. This forced a 10 minute recess, until the police, had brought the situation, back under control. For the first time in many year's, the opposition Conservatives, failed to table a budget, stating, very childishly, " there was no point, because it would not get voted through ". The tories, did put 3 amendments to the cabinet proposal's though, which were, (1) To stop a increase in leisure and sports charges, (2) To take less money off the Health & Social Care budget, (3) To stop a increase in parking charges, i voted in favour of these amendments, but the Lib/Lab coalition voted against them, so that was that. I believe, that the Government is cutting too much, too fast, but i agree, that after year's of Labour bankrupting Britain, something needs to be done to get out of this massive debt.
