The general and local elections weren't exactly a landslide victory for any party that currently holds power, nor was it a thrashing defeat for Labour. It's got to say something about the devil you know.

The situation in Westminster is mirrored here in Hyndburn. We have a Conservative majority with a lesser party tacked on to make up the numbers, although the powers that be would have us believe that they're firmly in control.

Despite all we're being told about major cutbacks (and I'll believe 40% when I see it happen) there is still appalling waste everywhere and billions of pounds being spent on immigration and the Eurozone.

Charity begins at home.
