Look what they have done to my town | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics: "All the people of this country want from the government, via their taxes, are decent public services: schools, hospitals and transport; this is the covenant that has served us well, in our modest way, since the end of the war. But even as taxes continue to rise, a lower proportion than ever goes on these essentials. Instead, it goes on bailing out the private companies that screw up our utilities and on lame 'initiatives'. Where are drug tsar Keith Halliwell and homelessness tsarina Louise Casey now, one wonders?
Government By Gameshow, you could call it; the rubbish lies uncollected and the trains won't work when the weather is 'wrong', but look on the bright side: you can always divert yourself with a council-lent camcorder for a few weeks."
