Do we need local Soviets - I mean Councils?

What are councils for?

 Libraries? Really? Every other shop in our high st is a charity one selling books by the plenty for practically nothing. The there is something called The Internet which contains all the accumulated knowledge in human history. Even 5 year old children have phones -children in Africa do. Books are important yes but more important than:

Police stations?! They've closed down and when did you last see a policeman? They seem very coy and reclusive these days but that makes criminals happy and they are a growth industry for sure now that the police are so 'under resourced'. Maybe we should under resource them more by witholding the portion of council tax they are allotted. (No tickee,no washee).

The police have yielded the streets to the criminals. They certainly do not deal with noisy neighbors any more. That has been passed to the 'environmental agency' which when I finally got hold of them at gone midnight to complain of hooligan partying weekend neighbours all I got was a run around and told to write my complaint on their website on Monday.

Schools. See my posts on privatisation of.

Housing. See my recent posts on this. It involves abolition of social housing - council and associations.

Road maintenance. Ha ha ha ha ha etc. (We advocate wholesale privatisation of roads and streets).

Social care for elderly and childcare. That role should be filled by charities -non tax funded charities I should add as the whole charity sector has been effectively co opted by the state and become very politicized as a consequence (see Oxfam etc). The subversion of charities by the state is a whole separate subject in itself. With the privatization of all care homes and  the abolition of the minimum and Living wage care homes will reduce over heads this removing the pressure from them imposed by government which led to many going bankrupt and closing   down.

Licensing system. We advocate the total abolition of licensing. It is taxation by any other name. See my recent post Regulation,an assault on Liberty

To be cont later today
