Comments on: Day 2 of Mr Miliband’s Green budgets http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2009/07/16/day-2-of-mr-milibands-green-budgets/ Incisive and topical campaigns and commentary on today's issues and tomorrow's problems Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:05:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: alan jutson http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2009/07/16/day-2-of-mr-milibands-green-budgets/#comment-19513 alan jutson Sun, 19 Jul 2009 22:32:35 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/?p=4071#comment-19513 Exactly my point with regard to our Council. As you say others used their own initiative and better judgement. Would you trust Labour information ???? Many Labour Councils did not have money in Iceland, and therefore excercised better judgement on this matter than our Conservative Council. Easy to track anyone who publishes anything on the web if you really want to, especially if they use their real name. Some of us are not bothered, as we believe in free speech, others are rather more circumspect. Exactly my point with regard to our Council.

I have offered to substantiate my claims direct to John Redwood and would be happy to do so. I do not wish to name and shame a Conservative council on John's website without his permission. I suggest you open your mind. Jean,

It would seem that Wokingham Council worked in line with government directives to invest in high interest rate Icelandic Banks, whereas others used their own initiative and better judgment. Alan Jutson,

Neither which may cause you distress, such as noise or dust. So there you go, only need to convince a few planners to be on your side, and hey presto no one could object. Adam

Which is a good reason not to disclose the name. Not all Conservative Councils are run as efficiently as they could be, or are the best thing since sliced bread. It is simply not the case that all Labour Councils are Bad, and all Conservative Councils are good. Our own Conservative Council (Wokinghham) lost £5,000,000 in Iceland. Although by and large they seem not bad. JR thankfully has some sensible comment to make when thay are being unusually silly, like trying to ban short term 30 min free carparking spaces in the Town recently. Jean

Global warming is a genuine scientific theory but only in the hands of scientists. Once it gets into the hands of politicians it quickly becomes distorted. peak oil is easier to argue away than global warming, after all, coal can be converted to oil relatively cheaply and there is an enormous amount of coal.
