Where will we find money?
2:08pm Friday 11th January 2013 in Letters
NATIONALIST Mr Nutt claims Plaid Cymru’s Caerphilly councillors are trying to sort out the senior officers’ pay rise problem (Argus, 7 January).
They took their time. If the Plaid Cymru-controlled council had sorted the issue before May 2012, when they should have, they wouldn’t have any excuse to whinge now. And if they were so unhappy when the decision to pay the rises was made, why didn’t they object at the time? Mr Nutt knows, too, that the forthcoming council tax benefit cut is the fault of the Westminster ConDem government, not the Labour Welsh Government. If he wants the Welsh Government to make up for the cuts, what Assembly budget does he want the money to come from?

The high cost of unemployment which is being increased by immigration entering
a declining jobs market, putting pressure on our infrastructure IE Education, NHS, Benefits,ect across the board.The
current exercise which is turning the clock back over seventy years on hard won social security,there are people in our communities who cannot afford to eat or heat,yet see the old adage at work, Bugger you Jack I am all right ,people like Caerphilly CEO
organising a little wage increase of a
reported thirtyfive thousand,while the new police commissioner has engaged an ex colleague for the trifling sum of fiftyfive thousand pounds plus perk's putting up the police precept by over two percent,
Who pays ? the little people, suffering wage and benefit freeze . Next year it will probably get worse with a couple of million More Eastern Europeans about to descend on us and that is a Labour governments fault .
