Politics being run by public schoolboys is the only thing I agree with. Although trying to do the best for the largest % of society cannot be an easy job.
There will always be winners and losers. Maybe if schools adopt the real life the downs as you get older will be easier to handle and understand.
All colours of politics are to blame for this present 'hard done by' society.

All the roads that have been blocked off are paid by Central Government after requests from the councils, its nothing to do with the mayors office.
