I haven't had my waste bins emptied in MONTHS due to a strike down to workplace bullying and the councils lack of trying to fix the issue. Then in typical labour fashion just before an election is due its all magically sorted only for it to start right back up right after the election. A labour mp (who wanted to be mayor) tried to close down a food bank as it was ran by an independent mp and not labour. A labour mp STOLE thousands in public money buying personal gifts while on holiday yet is still allowed to stand for labour. My council are in close to a billion debt due to their miss management of money yet blame everyone else. Yea i am sure it was the government's fault they removed speed bumps and placed new ones in (about 10ft away from the original spots) only for them to remove them and put them back in the original spot less than a month later. Or the labour mp who used public money to have a footpath built so he could walk to his mates house quicker. Or my personal experience when labour where last in power and i was a homeless teenager not long after a suicide attempt and needed help. What did my local labour council say? You're not at risk so we wont help you. Oh you have no money here is a list of b&b's you can stay at and how much they are a night. So no NOT sour grapes at all. I know what labour are really like and can tell you now things are going to get worse under labour and they will blame everyone else and the idiots will believe them. Get ready for the over spending. Get ready for companies to leave the UK. Get ready for the NHS to get worse.
