England bites back
England bites back
Don't we all remember the festivities of the Scottish Independence referendum? Remember the gathering of thousands round the Christmas tree e.g. Holyrood, awaiting the announcement of their present: Independence. And they only got a tangerine and staying part of the UK. But with the promise of devolution from the Government, will the tangerine turn into an xbox one?
Well... We still don't know the answer to that.... 2 months have now passed, with no conclusive result; no law, no policy, no SNP victory. As a result, many Scots gave become agitated by the lack of reforms, and pin the blame on Gordon Brown. One, because its Gordon Brown, and two, he was arguably one of the most influential politicians in the referendum, and promised reform.... Which hasn't arrived. And even the English are getting a bit puzzled by this... And want their reforms back.
English councils, are never happy. They have the widest spectrum imaginable, between recycling your rubbish they are helping fix the national debt. So reward them why not? Even though they are arguably lousy at their jobs, there's no need to cut their funding dare I say, or even let Scots (who are not involved in any way shape or form) vote on their issues? Now that would be wrong, wouldn't it Mr. Blair in 1997? Or Mr. Cutameron?
As far as I can see, the councils have a right to be angry, Scottish councils have been largely well protected, as they have been promised reforms and devolution, and whilst it hasn't arrived yet, it's almost inevitable. Whilst English councils have been left in no mans land, with counting coppers becoming a sport in some counties, and with no new reforms for greater control, and those north of the border gaining a pot more control, I can only really see a one way ticket to a debate in the House of Commons, and Gordon Brown. Cue the canned laughter.
