On the day Dennis Skinner had a go at Cameron and refused to withdraw the word 'dodgy', I had this put through the door.
Haven't looked to see who is behind it, but I can think of a fair few facts missing from the publication.
What a waste of tax payers money... rather it was spent on people with disabilities or for the families who's struggling!

I'm decided on an in vote now, but I think it should be up to political parties to do the campaigning.

I think tax payers' money should've been used for a completely neutral leaflet, compiled by an independent organisation (not sure what, mind) that gives facts for both sides of the argument.
This s**t should not be allowed as it's completely biased and thus the only thing some people may see who do not use the internet or watch much TV.

(11 Apr 2016, 10:21 pm)BusLoverMum I had just this discussion with Husband, earlier. We're both on the same page about it. If public money is to be spent on what is meant to be a non-party political vote of personal conscience and opinion, then people need to be presented with neutral, non-hysterical arguments for both options. Yes, it will mean that the same facts and figures end up being interpreted to mean different things but it's a complex issue which requires some serious consideration, yet, instead, is being presented in a cloud of selective hyperbole and obfuscation, depending on the view being pushed.
Edit: anyone who even mentions bananas loses my confidence in their opinion.

Not much change with the councillors (although a Lib Dem has been elected in Sunderland apparently) and PCC's are as they were.

Saw this earlier. Very pleased.
It is yet another tory u-turn. They're almost going in circles now!
One additional thing that I am pleased about is the end of the free land grab.
Each of these academies would have been given potentially hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of local authority land, given to them for nothing.
Of course what would have stopped them selling off portions in the future?Over the
