Call to Support the Striking Refuse Workers!

Spoons (the binman) writes: We haven't had a pay rise since Nov 2007. This current dispute relates to a pay increase we were due last November - over 7 months ago ! At that time the inflation rate was running at just below 5% which is why we asked for that amount. Sita have dragged this dispute out until now and we have voted to strike only as an absolute last resort because we felt we had no alternative. We don't want to strike and are obviously losing money as a result. They are saying that they can't afford to pay us more than 2.75% saying they have no money blaming it on the current economic climate. This is a blatant lie. Under the terms of their contract with the city council Sita are paid all ALL of their annual expenses PLUS 16% on top of that, so the economic situation doesn't affect them in any way. Sita is part of a French owned company called Suez Environment, which has a turnover of £12 billion of which 46% comes from it's waste business (Sita), as reported in the Financial Times, Dec 2008.

Comment on today's elections...

Updated! Comment on election results: BNP Fail to Get Bristol Breakthrough, Local elections 09 – Bristol City Council gets LibDem overlords, no new Green (bristle.wordpress.com) & Lib Dems seize the city!!! (thebristolblogger.wordpress.com).

The Bristol Blogger is predicting the outcome of today's vote: the Lib Dems need 4 seats for a majority; the Greens need one seat to get an office inside the Council House as a proper political party plus they need someone to sit next to Charlie Bolton at meetings and take him seriously; Labour need to avoid abject humiliation; the Tories need to win a few seats to stop their boss, Bunter Eddy, looking like a clueless twat (again)... Full article (on thebristolblogger.wordpress.com).

How much expenses does an MP need to run his constituency office?

Bob writes; In light of your recent revelations regarding MP's expenses claims I thought I would check out my local MP Don Foster and was surprised to come across the following information. “Declarations of interest: August 2007 - Support for the running of my office received from Paul Strasburger, of Bath, 24th January 2008; Contribution to salary of a member of staff in my constituency office from Mr Paul Strasburger of Bath, Feb 11 2009 - Contribution to salary of a member of staff in my constituency office from Mr Paul Strasburger of Bath.”

As you will be aware Mr Strasburger funded the cost of Mr Michael Browns defence team (as Mr Browns assets had been frozen by the Courts), put up his bail money and provided his home address in Bath as a bail address before Mr Brown absconded abroad on a false passport facing 18 charges of theft, money laundering, perjury etc., What concerns me is that Dons declarations of interests outlined above do not appear to include the following very large amounts donated to Dons constituency office by Mr Strasburger in 2007-2008 Full Article.
