Obviously, despite the article already published on this website, unmasking the vacuous attempt at sincerity in Labour’s Sefton-wide campaign for the May elections, there has been discussion and reaction to the leaflets delivered so far.
Leaflets so nebulous, with little or no mention of specific needs for specific wards, that they don’t stand up to serious scrutiny.
Especially the predictable nodding-dog socialist dogma one often finds in the form of mindless graffiti.
What, for instance, among their “promises” is meant by “Take back our Streets.” ? In my ward that could only mean greater measures to control anti-social behaviour, in many cases easily identified by its proximity to enforced social housing, pepper-potted - that’s the new in-phrase - among private homes costing more than £500,000.
No, alas it doesn’t mean that.
And what about the promise to “break down barriers to opportunity.”? Again, in my ward, that would surely involve giving local young people priority access to any social housing, so that they could continue to live and work where they had grown up, gone to school, and already had family and friends.
No, alas it doesn’t mean that.
In fact, none of it means anything beyond the realms of spouting empty slogans.
