Oh how sophisticated we will be, sat in the cafe equivalent of Macdonalds. Why don't people eat in private cafes anymore!!!! One thing the govt could do to encourage small businesses is get rid of these giants that take over every empty shop space of every corner of our high street. The public can also stop being so numb and enjoy some intimacy and HUMAN CONTACT. I miss having lunch for under a fiver. All I want is bacon and eggs!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-71622874608520732802008-11-12T10:22:00.000+00:002008-11-12T10:22:00.000+00:00Did you notice this on Iain Dale's site:Two blogpo...Did you notice this on Iain Dale's site:<BR/><BR/>Two blogposts from Taking Liberties and Donal Blaney worry me. Both have examples of Conservative councils indulging in what can only be described as very unConservative like behaviour.<BR/><BR/>TalkSport's Jon Gaunt has been suspended by the radio station after he called a Redbridge Conservative councillor a "Nazi" for introducing a policy of banning parents who smoke from fostering children.<BR/><BR/>And Tory controlled Guildford Council has told the owners of burger vans that unless they provide healthy foods rather than burgers and kebabs, their licenses to trade will be withdrawn.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to rant on about it all being political correctness gone mad (although it is). What it demonstrates is that these councils are presided over by weak politicians who have little control over their officers. It's about time they learned what the word Conservative actually means.<BR/><BR/>UPDATE: Guildford Conservatives have issued a statement clarifying the position re burger vans.
