National politics

It's a shame that Party politics is getting in the way of this Covid pandemic

On the 30th September Cllr Sam Rowlands said " We all know the figures are going up, so taking early action to control the spread of the virus and to protect people’s health is crucial.

On the 7th October  Cllr Sam Rowlands wrote to the Wales First Minister asking him to relax the travel restrictions in Conwy County and said the current travel rule is "likely" to be "catastrophic" for Conwy's local economy, potentially resulting in job losses and businesses going under".

Then on the 25th October 2020   a Facebook Group called  "End Conwy County's Local Lockdown "  with other parties,  irresponsibly arranged for a protest demonstration on the Llandudno Promenade and they  didn't help their cause with the choice of speakers either.

Now on Thursday the 5th November 2020 all of England is to go in lockdown.    There's bound to be fireworks that night but keep politics out of what is an extremely serious matter

Jeremy Corbyn will not return as Labour MP, says Sir Keir Starmer.            Corbyn has single handedly done more damage to the Labour Party than the Tories could ever do.    He has also voted against Labour  more often than any of the recent Tory PM'S have done so that says a lot

"We are all in this together"     is a catch phrase that the Tory Government has been saying quite often.     But are we?
After imposing a pay freeze on the public employees,  it will be interesting to see how principled these MP's are.

Plans for restrictions on 'already struggling' hospitality sector slammed by Conwy council leader.        Isn't this the same Tory that was going to arrange a peaceful demonstration on Llandudno Promenade?
While most of the people in the County were making sacrifices the irresponsibility of this Tory beggars belief           
He might even have to write again to Mark Drakeford after tomorrow's briefing

I'm surprised that this hasn't been reported more widely in the press but it emerged just weeks after the Tory Chancellor  imposed a pay freeze on millions of public sector workers.
Dominic Cummings "who was brought in for his understanding of working class voters". has had his pay increased by £40,000.00 to £140,000.00 since December 2019.
It is unclear if Cummings was given the increase before or after his trip to Barnard Castle during the first lockdown

What an example to give to the British public in more ways than one

He was awarded that £40k rise straight after Boris the goon won the election, his rise is what 4 families have to live on for a year 😡, mind you it was said that was his petrol allowance to Durham 😡

The 60 Welsh Assembly members have been awarded 2.4% pay increase, taking their basic salary to over £69,000.  It will be interesting to see what they award their staff with.

Will the pigs in the trough reject it like Westminster 🤔 And they will still milk the expenses. 😡

I have just been reading an e-mail from a friend and noticed a quotation at the bottom of the e-mail  which seems quite appropriate many many years later.   The quotation is:- 


“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.”

'Fat mums' rant lands North Wales councillor in trouble after NHS tweets
Gareth Baines has since resigned as chairman of Clwyd South Conservative Association 

Former local Liberal Democrat council candidate Aimi Waters, a planning analyst and a foster parent, tweeted: “Chairman of Clwyd South Conservatives showing his true colours there. Oh dear. Come on though, are we all surprised? #NeverTrustATory.”

What an earth was he thinking of when he made that post, perhaps he has been in isolation for far too long or has overdone it on the Whiskey or perhaps a combination of the two.
Anyway his head seems to have gone but there's not much wrong with his eyesight

Tory Senedd leader Paul Davies quits over alcohol row and Darren Miller does too             

After all they bare there to make the rules, not to break them

What is so bad they still insist they did nothing wrong, 😡 The poor lad behind the bar will get the fine 😢,   It's like the Tory minister going to a Christmas party in London, when found out they changed the invites to a meeting 😡😡😡😡. And they wonder why more and more people are going around more.
