It’s a known fact that Bennito Mussolini the fascist leader of Italy from 1922-1943 tried his level best to change the Nations history through imagery of himself as a Roman Leader, along with censoring the press, being over negative with scenario (like some reporters on breakfast television) and stopping democratic elections with his party enlisting their own into public office.
(We will stay away from his warmongering and slaughter of people In Ethiopia and Albania) as it's difficult to think that we will declare war on Cumbria or they will return the nasties of war against Northumberland folk but we can’t read the runes if right-wing division within communities grows even more unhealthily.
Sounds very much like the slip to the right from Northumberland Conservatives and the stated aims of the ‘lets make the rich richer’ at our workers expense REFORM UK.
Here in Blyth the destruction of its history has begun to race ahead through the accepted by Blyth Reformers and delivered by Northumberland Conservatives LOW-MOW policy with weeds surrounding the historic display of public art centred on the Town's past and the Twin Hatters going into denial that they have the responsibility to maintain that history and therefore its public art.
The Town's litter and weed problems have grown out of all proportion Low-Mow excludes the service cut of litter picking before grass cutting leaving litter only slashed by mowers every seven weeks or so. This winter with no cuts being paid for by the Town Council litter is expected to sit for months before being butchered into shreds and the process of filth will continue on into infinity.
As the blame game from both parties continue, both Conservative and Reform in an attempt to blind side local people, residents will lose the public art display of Mining, Shipbuilding, Exploring and Explorers who sailed from Blyth as those historical stories decay as they become even more weed covered and litter strewn.
Its time both political party entities realise they were democratically elected to look after Northumberland’s largest Town including others and they both need to get a grip of reality and deliver ‘best value’ instead of ‘best blame’ strategies and get our town shifted from a growing slum area into the pristine coastal town that broke the mould of east coast towns that Blyth Valley Borough Council had developed to give residents pride in their communities.
What sort of pride is being delivered by the divisive policies delivered by the unthinking ultra right that local folk can see getting worse each and every day?.
NOTES:
** In local government, "twin hatters" (also commonly known as "dual-hatted" councillors) are elected representatives who serve simultaneously on two different tiers of local authorities. A very common example is a politician who serves as both a District/Borough Councillor and a County or Town/Parish Councillor.
