Politicians
have to represent us
• COUNCILLOR John Mills (Don’t judge us by standards
of Blair, February 16) clearly foresees that Labour is going
to take a pasting at the local elections in May.
He claims Camden Council has an excellent record, while
everything that goes wrong is the government’s fault.
Cllr Mills’s excuse is that the Labour government has followed
a policy of “relentless centralisation” steadily diminishing
the capacity of local councils to take decisions, yet he concludes:
“A Labour vote in the local elections is a vote for local
democracy.”
What piffle. Until Labour stooges are replaced by politicians
willing to represent residents’ views, local democracy
hereabouts will remain hopelessly shackled.

• Councillor John Mills brags about his accomplishments
(Don’t judge us by standards of Blair, February 16.)
He deludes himself if he thinks he has done a good job for
Camden. Anyone could make the books balance if they sell the
family silver everytime they run out of cash.
