Boundary changes
The review of boundaries just agreed by South Holland District Council have little to do with democracy or cost saving. Population spread in our district wards is well within the national recommendations.
No government or council ever initiates such a review unless they believe it will benefit their party. The aim here looks more like an attempt to reduce the number of councillors who are not members of the ruling group and thus remove the small opposition that now exists.
Brexit
Sir John Hayes and Brexit.
I do not agree with all Sir John’s opinions but with one exception my personal position on Brexit is exactly the same as his, we are lucky to have an MP who so closely represents the constituencies majority view on this most vital issue.
The exception is that there is far more wrong with Mrs May’s deal than the backstop. It’s Brexit in Name Only and ties us into many EU institutions, with little chance of escape and with even less say than we have now. A deal would have been great, but not this one. We need to leave on the due date and then negotiate from outside.
