More Snow

With more snow fallen and forecast its nice to see the sense of community in Medway. Those clearing the snow are housewives and retired gents. Where are all the fit young lads who cant get to work?

Recycling

The Government tells us to recycle, the council tells us to recycle. When we do recycle the bags of mixed recyables get shipped off to China for sorting at OUR expence. The council tells us its so the council tax will be cheaper. The rcyclables once sorted get sold on. The stuff that cant be used goes into Chines landfill or India's landfill. Its still going into the ground so why not here and save on the shipping costs. The reason is if the council landfill here they get finded by the EU. They dont if it goes into landfill outside the EU. To add insult to injury over Christmas they didnt even collect it. Everywher in Medway at the moment there are blue bags on the streets. Some residents tell me they have not had there's collected for four weeks, some in Cliffe have not has there's collected for six weeks. Thats plenty of time for the rats to start breeding. The council cannot deny this at all as my wife has just returned from China and she saw Medway blue recycle bags there.

tax increases

To those out there that vote Labour because they always have done. Labour plans to increase taxes on those who are actually working. They are going to tax your car parking at work and your staff canteen whether you use them or not your are going to pay tax on them under Labour.

Immigration

We all hear stories about controls on immigration but immigration continues to increase. This is because what the everyday  person calls immigrants is not the same as what Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems call immimgrants. To the public immigrants are everybody outside of the UK. To Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems immigrants are people outside of the EU. The increased crime figures we have seen in the UK from Eastern Europeans are not regraded as a problem of immigration as these 3 main parties are Europhiles and dont count these people as immigrants. Don't take my word for it, go to your local MP and ask them. See if you get a straight answer or not.

Health and Safety

We are always being told what we can and can't do these days. Various groups quote health and safety at us. But a few days of snow and these same groups are quite happy for the elderly, the disabled, young children and pregnant women to walk on sheet ice and in the middle of roads. Come on put you money where your mouth is and get the pavements clear.

dicrimination

Remember. Positive discrimination is still discrimination no matter what the reason.

Snow

Come on Medway Council why have you not gritted the roads. Gritting the motorway is fine but not much use if all the roads to it havent been gritted. Today there are no buses. The trains are running a  good service but the roads are worse than February. The A2 from Rainham to Strood going through all of the Medway towns hasnt been touched by any salt. I know I have had to walk miles this morning. I have seen so many people fall over today on the pavements. How much extra cost is that to hospitals and businesses. A lot more than a few tons of salt. Medway Council knew that there was a predicted 20cm of snow so why didnt they make more effort. Dartford, Bexley and other parts of South London were clear so why not Medway.
