Yet again we are witnessing the destruction of democracy by our so called council.
In a recent full council meeting the councillors of our town voted to stop public questions. That’s right Barnsley councillors are no longer allowing the public of Barnsley to ask questions at full council meetings.
These people were voted into power to represent Barnsley people, yet they have decided in their wisdom that they know better than the general public and therefore, because they know better, there is no need to answer questions from the public.
They also voted to hold full council meetings once every 6 weeks instead of every 4 weeks as they have been held for years. Is the reason that - this is when ‘debate’ takes place or could it be that this council doesn’t agree with ‘debate’ as they think they know better?
Is this the reason they have formed a cabinet? Are they trying to keep as much power as possible to the select few? Power is slipping away from these traitors in our town, so to try and keep a grip on the power, they are doing away with democracy.
Another example of their attack on democracy is their scramble to get as many foreign voters into our town ASAP. Recently a motion was put to council to stop anymore asylum seekers coming to Barnsley, because we just can’t cope. Only THREE councillors agreed with this motion. Councillors proudly stood up and declared that they would rather house asylum seekers than their own children and that they would happily give up a room in their homes to house asylum seekers. If this be the case, why the hell aren’t they? Can you imagine Councillor Burgess giving up part of her home in Cawthorne to asylum seekers? Maybe she would vote to house them in Cannon Hall. Or is it a case of NIMBY?
Barnsley already has areas that suffer from 19% unemployment. We already have over 8000 people on the social housing waiting list. Do we really need any more asylum seekers in Barnsley? Of course we don’t, but Barnsley councillors want them so they can stay in power. There was a time when if the people didn’t like the ones in power, they voted to change them. Now it appears that if the people in power don’t like the people that voted for them, they CHANGE THE PEOPLE.
