Peter Of course it's legit for John to highlight flaws and failings. What he and his Lib Dem lackies always fail to do is provide credible means/policies of their own to address the issue. Look at where Lib Dems have run local authorities and how the Council Tax soars and services, especially children's services, are cut to shreds. And as for them having better things to do...like what? What do they actually *do* for chrissakes? Take a trip around the estates in Merseybank/Burnage etc and tell me if people there have experienced improvement/enhanced quality of life under a Lib Dem councillors/MP. Doesn't look like it to me. They're always huge on perception and low on effort. Ok..over to you for another nonsensical rant...
