What runs through a person’s head when they decide they’re going to make and publish something like this on social media? Is Councillor Nova Arkney that self obsessed that everything she puts out has to have her face and her ridiculous self gratifying hashtag all over it? We nearly vomited up our evening tea when we saw this. Yet another example of shameless self promotion that certain members of the controlling Labour group are exhibiting, no doubt learning from the best, MP Sarah Edwards.
Sadly the Councils annual Christmas lights switch on, the last planned by the Conservatives for this year in their budget, were postponed. Apparently it’s a bit windy out there, although from the top of Debunking Towers, it is always a bit windy, especially when the email urchin has had beans. We do wonder if next year’s Christmas will be rather different or if Labour will hold off demolishing events such as the fireworks they had criticised as being expensive, for fear of criticism. By then the County elections will be over and thoughts will be turning to the local council elections. Either Labour will be trounced as they well deserve to be at County level, or they will have a mandate from the public to cause even more budgetary carnage.
Naturally the angry little boy playing at big Council ‘boss’ that is Councillor Lewis Smith had to make sure that he got in on this, although mercifully he didn’t shove his smirking mug into a big graphic. Evidently he has been to the Troll school of unnecessary emoji use though. They use these emojis in their posts by the way because the intelligence levels of most of their voters demand little pictures to keep their attention. Just like the Leicestershire Trolls Facebook audience.
Lewis also makes mention of ‘Small Business Saturday’ the annual tradition of making parking free on two Saturdays leading up to Christmas. This of course was introduced by the Tories. The idea that Labour give a shit about businesses in general after royally screwing them over at the budget is laughable. But if they can’t defend it, then it seems the tactic is to just gloss over it and pretend their party isn’t fucking up the country on the daily. Although they are quite happy to perpetuate the lie their party is pushing on the national level that they are having to raise taxes because of a false £22bn black hole. Labour are hilariously trying to make out that the Borough Council was mismanaged by the Tories, despite them leaving a healthy budget and better than expected returns on sensible investment they made whilst in power. With work on reopening Marmion House going at full pace, they are already frittering that away, and no doubt there’s more to come.
Nova can’t help herself with taking credit for more things the Conservative Government and Local Conservatives did for Tamworth, as strangely enough there’s zero mention of them in the post about the regeneration in the Town Centre they facilitated whilst in power.
Lying, taking credit, shameless self promotion, looks being way more important than substance, this is your local Labour party everyone.
