U turn if you want - the Lady's not for turning

That was the famous quote that Margaret Thatcher said during a Conservative Party Conference, it appears that the current Prime Minister could do with learning the same.

He's now u turned on bin tax. This was a scheme he backed (until the voters gave him the biggest defeat for 60 years on Thursday) where by you paid to bin your rubbish. This stealth tax was opposed by Conservatives nationally and locally and a scheme I had written about my opposition to previously.

However, it seems the man of prudent principal or as we've come to see him, the chickenly coward has made another u turn. In fact he seems to u turning more than a one armed swimmer.

I know some people may think that it's a sign of listening to the people, but surely he's the foresight to know that shutting post offices, making the working poor pay more tax and taxing people on the weight of the rubbish they throw were going to be bad with the British people.

Either, he's too stupid to see this, or so complacent of his party's election ability that he frankly does not care.

Well he'll care now with the prospect of being one of the shortest serving Prime Minister ever beckoning.

As Thursday night showed, only the Conservatives can stop Labour, and that's the same at the Town Hall and the County Hall as much as it is at Westminster or London City Hall.
