(17 Sep 2020, 8:57 pm)Storx Northumberland is a Conservative council. Just saying.

Also you haven't been out much if your comparing a pub from 11am and 2am there's definitely a difference. Some of the stuff from Newcastle and Sunderland has been shocking in the pubs which are usually nightclubs not to mention the absolute shambles in Fenceshouses which caused all this in the first place.

While technically most of the counsellors are Conservative, they don't have enough of a majority to have overall control of the council.


So I've heard conflicting information from the councils.
Publically they're saying that they wanted an exclusion for childcare with the restrictions, but someone I know who is working on the COVID response within one of the councils told me today they specifically asked for all social gatherings to be included as it was with families providing childcare that they were seeing some of the biggest rises in cases.
They also said that they've been asked by higher ups in the council not to let the public know, which to me seems strange as you'd think if the public knew the statistics they'd be less angry about the restrictions!

Obviously it's second hand information so I can't guarantee that it's true, but like I said it's from someone that's working on the COVID response within one of the councils.

This is just not true. At all. Why would they ask for something then lobby to have it removed??  Huh

I don't have the exact statistics, they weren't allowed to share them with me. I'll ask again though.
Hence why I said 'if the statistics' show that is the case. I mean, they haven't lied to me in the past, but it is second hand information!

To be honest, I find the free school meals debate and the way the tories have gone on, one of the more ridiculous of the covid19 related stories.

Labour council in Sunderland trying to cover for Michael Essl after he was found to of lied about a member of the public being a Peado, when he wasn't.


Is this what Labour do now?, cover things up? What else is Miller and co covering?, like the proper cost of the new Civic Centre and how much tax payers money they use on a weekly bases for their meals?

Essl should be sacked, hopefully in the hearing next week, he is, if not, I've lost all faith in Labour up here... funny how NOT one labour politician has commented on it.................

Police weren't interested either, as it "wasn't in the public interest".... Yes it is.
