Bowen has been listed as an "Unaffiliated" member on the CCC web site so, after all, she might not have done the deal with the devil that is the Official Independent Political Party!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-66231548535521857152013-01-07T17:23:21.836+00:002013-01-07T17:23:21.836+00:00Having read this blog item and the next about pres...Having read this blog item and the next about press freedom I must admit if I were a county councillor, especially a Labour councillor I would be a little embarrased and disapointed.<br /><br />Surely to join the Labour Party one must at least show a little leaning towards socialist policies. The arrangement between Labour and the Conservatives - oops sorry independents is bizarre in the extreme. the refusal to promote the living wage for low paid members of staff is also bizare. How the Labour members can reconcile their behaviour with supposed socialist principles is shamefull.<br /><br />As regards allowing the highly paid CE to seemingly arrange the agenda by sending important NOMs to the executive board (thereby killing it off) is also bizaar.<br /><br />To all councillors - grow a pair please. To Labour members (especially Llanelli) grow an even bigger pair - seize control, you have the numbers - you should have the will. Recent events in Llanelli prove a level of disatisfaction with the current council you have it in your power to take this council in a new, fairer and more socialist direction. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-79172711388647279402013-01-07T11:32:04.745+00:002013-01-07T11:32:04.745+00:00"And as for the rest of us, the grubby goings..."And as for the rest of us, the grubby goings-on in County Hall leave us wondering what the hell we have done to deserve this."<br /><br />Voted for them??!Ioannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-85646424086553574032013-01-07T10:34:07.796+00:002013-01-07T10:34:07.796+00:00You may be right, although there are signs that th...You may be right, although there are signs that the "official" Independents had a hand in this.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-3998626887265607462013-01-07T10:18:22.416+00:002013-01-07T10:18:22.416+00:00are you sur she's joined the independent group...are you sur she's joined the independent group? the Labour Group haven't commented which leds me to think there may be more to it... independent independent is probably a better bet.
