Today at 5 pm in Oxford Town Hall, the Labour led city council are planning to vote for the 'strong leader' system of governance, in other countries known as dictatorship.Be afraid. Be very afraid. Be shocked.
Be angry THEN DO SOMETHING!

'Brookes' City Council's plan for New Governance, it seems like what we used to call dictatorship.

If you haven't read through this yet please do it now, it makes shocking and depressing reading.

This is our future they are playing with and that of the next generation.

They are quietly drawing a giant shadow across our lives, at first we feel the shudder of a cloud giving us shade and but we ignore it at our peril as it closes over us, it takes away our choice and our very basic quality of life.

This (Labour) council is not working for the people of Oxford, the council are in it for themselves and on our council tax money!

For example, at the City Executive Board meeting on 7 December, Tim Sadler said he wants to cut 12 posts from the city council to save £185,000. If Tim Sadler and Peter Sloman resign or cut their salaries to the same as those on lowest pay we could save almost £300,000 immediately and the unfortunate, lower paid, 12 will still have their jobs. Result!

This Labour dominated council is not working for the interests of the people of Oxford and must be stopped.

The people must be told what is going on.

The Council must shown that they cannot get away with this.
