General Election 2010

Better than what the Conservatives have planned which is, erm, nothing.

Ah, ruining our economy further and delaying 'the fix' is something?

Doing nothing is better than spending money you dont have and refusing to cut down on some of the worst debt in this countries history, oh and also refusing to force the government-owned banks to lend again so business can survive.

I'm sure the voters would see it that way also :rolleyes:

The voters are starting to see how the country is falling into a black hole of debt which is just getting bigger and bigger, so yes, just like they finally realised in 1979 they will realise in 2010 when they come to cast their ballots.

Wait what? Spending money you don't have and refusing to compromise is what drove this country into a recession into the first place.

ELDERLY people in Coventry will have to pay up to 75 per cent more for home care services after the council’s cabinet approved controversial proposals to hike up charges.
At a meeting held yesterday, councillors agreed to increase charges for services including meals on wheels, domiciliary care and transport to day centres.
It means home meals will go up from £2.88 to £4.10 a meal while home care goes from £10.38 to £14.48 an hour and transport increases from £1.71 to £3 per return journey.

The Conservatives run Coventry Council, on Tuesday they hiked up prices for Elderly
care services just to save the city £530,000

COVENTRY MP Bob Ainsworth has entered the controversy over the BID business scheme by calling for it to be scrapped.
In his first public comments about the furore, he calls for the abolition of the private company running it and axing the despised “tax” averaging £500.
About 2,500 firms have been forced to pay for services promised but not received, including new wi-fi broadband and CCTV.
Hundreds of those firms and city Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson have fought a long-running campaign for a vote on whether they want to scrap it.
Wading into the row for the first time, Mr Ainsworth, MP for Coventry North-east, said he had received complaints from BID levy-paying businesses, and questions he had “repeatedly” put to BID company chief executive Stephen Welch had received no reply.



As reported previously in the Telegraph, hundreds of Coventry firms have been taken to court for non-payment by the city council, which collects the levy on the citywide BID’s behalf. A protest group has now been formed by dissenting levy-payers and is raising a fighting fund for High Court action.

The Conservative Council also introduced the BID scheme, forcing companies to pay for services they apparently haven't received. Bob Ainsworth, a Labour MP, is strongly opposed to it.

Calling for the resignation of a Conservative Councilor's after a report into the death of a Baby failed by Social Services, which come under the councils control.

Sack 2010, I'm definitely not voting Conservative in the Local Elections on May 7th this year. I've met a lot of their campaign team in this city and they are supremely arrogant and unapproachable. Sure they're regenerating money, but at what cost?

Doing nothing is better than doing something of the "not so good/bad" variety. If the Labour government sat down and did nothing we'd probably be better off :/

If that is the case with your local council if I were you, email and inform Conservative Central Office, if them allegations are true then that is a disgrace, but none of that is as bad as what Labour did to my city in the 1980s, it was awful and gave us the reputation we have now.

Exactly, Labour like all socialists struggle when it comes to economics but dont struggle when it comes to making empty promises.
