Spending other people's money has been all to easy in the past.

Just a pity Blair and Brown didn't agree with you Graham, think you'll find they got through a few quid themselves

Same difference but on a huger scale cashy, There's the old saying talking is cheap, Labour have always been great at talking the talk, but very poor at walking the walk, their great in opposition then everything goes tits up when they're in the driving seat, and that's at any level of politics you care to mention

Not to say 'I told you so' but I warned last year that Cllr Britcliffe would spend everything in the pot before the election and leave us in a difficult financial position.

Lo and behold, here we are in May with a problem.

I'm sure the Accyweb archivist will be able to find my posts if pressed.

Take it from one who worked for many years with both Labour and Conservative administrations.

They are both as committed as each other. They are both as devious as each other.

I never saw much difference between them.

I think I was trying to say the same thing gynn, its a bit like the kettle calling the pan sooty bum really, yet Labour always try to say its the nasty Tories and they are as white as the driven snow, when it comes down to dirty tricks they are both as bad as one another and it has never changed in the forty odd years I was involved
