We've already decided to share our naval capabilities with France, perhaps it's time to put Trident to bed?Kris Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496824392835614891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660751614871769034.post-65038322490429311402011-06-23T08:47:17.301+01:002011-06-23T08:47:17.301+01:00Like it Kristopher, make no mistake though her de...Like it Kristopher, make no mistake though her decision to vote in favour of replacing Trident was 1000% the right one!xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660751614871769034.post-23766486424084271592011-06-23T00:17:25.507+01:002011-06-23T00:17:25.507+01:00Hello Rob, thank you as ever for your well-reasone...Hello Rob, thank you as ever for your well-reasoned contribution. Tammy is right, there is simply no need for cuts of the scale and depth that we are seeing in the UK and there are numerous reports (such as the Red Pepper finance summaries) that back this opinion up with economic reality. This is not to say that there is not a case for closely analysing local authorities and seeing how you can strive to get greater value from them, but simply cutting without regard for the consequences is counter-productive.<br /><br />I know that you can find Simon Hughes' voting record and further information at the hyperlink above for theyworkforyou.com. I'm sure you will have already done this, and it's a useful resource for anyone interested in finding out more about their MP.

You don't stop buying food to pay it off in a year.<br />Another thing, is that my local MP, Simon Wright (Lib) has apparently consistently voted against all the coalition policies, in favour of his personal beliefs, and what the Liberal party stands (or rather, stood) for, unlike his power-hungry colleagues who will probably lose their deposits next time around.signolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12834608549510908602noreply@blogger.com
