Why are we rarely consulted over decisions that effect us and we are paying for.

- I guess it is much the same where you live, decisions made on your behalf that you know nothing about. Be it local or national. It`s your money they are spending.
We have an elected dictatorship. They should be asking do we want a red tie or blue tie politicians
Every single adult of working age is not viewed as a human being with rights. Instead, we are viewed as a £ sign, especially by politicians and the court system that is ran by these criminal vultures. Modern day slavery ...
There’s only one person’s hat local councillors and politicians feather.
It nearly always involves relieving us of our money or making things more difficult for us in some way. Traffic lights that suddenly seem to appear on junctions that work fine without them and just cause delays are a favourite.
They want rid of cars…15 minute cities 🤨
And you can pretty much guarantee that 'they' won't be living in these 15 minute cities and will still be driving their cars, having made it impossible for most of the rest of us to.
Hi Al , remember people only act on their own behalf , good honest people are few and far between, covid and the petrol shortages showed how selfish and nasty the people of this country have become , pure hatred from people fighting over bog roll and pizza’s during covid and the petrol shortages, when spending tax payers money it is open house and no accountability and that will never change , the breed of human in this country is chalk and cheese to years gone by, look after those closest to you and enjoy retirement as much as you can . The only power older folk have is the vote and that is limited.
Keep well .
Thanks Dermot.
What we all have to do is vote. Look up your local MP, then do a search on their voting history (can't remember what site that is on) if you see they have voted against a lot of policies you agree with then next election, you vote for someone else.
Great thanks Steve.
Voting? the illusion you mean?
Perhaps email your local authority with a link to the video asking for their view on the points raised. If you don't agree or dislike the response consider standing yourself.
Couldn't agree more Al. One thing that will not change though is the gold plated pensions of the public sector. In our area the council adds 19% of the employees salary to the pension fund - 19%! Where does that money come from - us, the tax payer. Try and get a new hip though!
Sad state of affairs.
It's printed out of thin air because the money has been backed by diddly squat since 1971.
You are 100% correct. The entire country needs to agree to stop voting. Why should we vote for these criminals with a licence to be criminals? They are making the poor poorer, and then taking houses etc in the courts from the better off who are for the most middle class, innocent but not 'rich', in these cases where it is the consumer against the business man in the courts. Thanks for the video. Much Love from Scotland, ❤ X ...
Thanks.
All councils have signed up to net zero...and the backlash has already started 😊
Yup.
It's the same and you can be living anywhere in the U.K. thay like turning all we have into chap.
When consultations are done they tend to be done on the quiet and target people who are most likely to be agreeable with loaded questions that are guaranteed to give the response that is required to do whatever it is that's already been decided upon. The consultation will also be at great expense of course and likely will be via a third party that coincidentally has some direct connection with one of our public servants.
We are led like sheep.
@@dereton33Because you are and that's what you vote for.
People just want to stick their head in the sand, collect all the benefits whilst not being responsible for the inevitable negative consequences.
But you get what you vote for I'm afraid.
When a political party becomes a government there should be a time limit on what's in their manifesto if they fail to get what they promised to do in the first two years then they get kicked out then maybe they will try harder.
They would blame it on something as a good excuse.
Local elections should be every 2 years, and national elections every 3 years .
There should be more referenda and plebiscites for greater public input.
The vested interests don’t want to give the rank and file voting Brit any more influence on the political landscape after Brexit.
So many Al, Smart motorways I argued with my MP after going to many bad accidents because of them, as there is no place to breakdown. He said, they were ok. I told him to turn his engine off and go left see how far you get.
We need a lot more mini referendems on all these issues
We sure do James.
Referendums are mob rule and majority of people are midwits. We need capable individuals who care for the nation and the people making decisions on our behalf. Voting is a scam.
They get used to getting away with mistake after mistake, not their money that is wasted. imagine a small business owner doing this, how long would his or her business last.
Hello from Ireland, land of unelected politicians and ATO controlled media. 🙋♂
NATO controlled media
I think the problem is the "first past the post" electoral system we have in England.
Proportional representation is much better and would reduce these silly decisions.
Makes no difference when it comes to councils, they just do whatever they like.
I live in Ireland where we have the PR system. It's a nightmare. Decisions take forever - it took around 8 months to even form a Government at the last General Election! Minority parties get to introduce crazy schemes - the Green Party's 'Bottle and Can' Deposit Scheme being the latest - consumers pay an extra mandatory deposit fee at the till on every plastic bottle and tin can, which you then have to wash and return to 'claim back' your deposit via a voucher redeemable in the store! Yup, it's ridiculous! Prices have simply gone up across the board and most consumers fail to get their money back (too much hassle) or the machines which take the recycled bottles/cans don't work!! You couldn't make this stuff up! Crazy. PR? Be very careful what you wish for!!✌️🤪
@@6581punkThen have local referendums triggered by petitions with at least a certain number of signatures, aka Swiss-style democracy.
I live in Yeovil the council are spending millions pedestrianising the main town way over budget the town as no live on shop thanks to are beloved councils they have not got a clue a bit like are government
I could do a better job myself, with one hand tied behind my back, ha ha.
They have also just knocked down the multi story carpark next to Victoria Park in Paignton. Anyone know what will replace it?
Houses as ever. The planners create congestion everywhere with new homes and then blame people for driving everywhere for the resulting congestion.
@@6581punk Yes that sounds right. Thanks for update. Regards.
Please don't come anywhere near London 😢
An excellent point. Sure things may take a bit longer, but the end result is it would be widely understood and agreed. That is surely beneficial to everyone... especially the people paying for it... The tax payer.
Our money being spent on things we did not want or were asked about.
I have a feeling the artist who made the Mermaid statue, I think he lives in Teignmouth, was refused planning permission a few years ago to put it on the seafront, looks like they've changed their mind if it's the same statue, which up to a year ago was in a front garden near Teignmouth Hospital 🤔👍
Thanks Cliff.
Rarely consulted, you’re being very generous Al. What was that recent petition about that got over 100k, just dismissed? As soon as people realise that they don’t actually work for us at all, they work for themselves all following an agenda… This comment may be censored so won’t say more. Suffice to say if you’re on the voting register you’ve given permission for someone (whether you voted or not) to act on your behalf. I’ve finally got off the register, though took some doing 🤨 If voting made any difference, we wouldn’t be allowed to do it 🤷♀️
Thanks Jackie.
They never ask us they just do WHAT THEY WANT. I just wish someone would keep telling them EVERYDAY.
We need to have online referendums each year .
You hit the nail on the head! Authorities have to spend their budget or they don’t get it the next year so they simply waste it!
It does seem to happen.
3:05 It doesn't just happen. All local councils will put out public consultations, as can be seen from their website "A trial of pedestrianisation in Torbay Road was carried out after public consultation in early 2022, following the Covid pandemic. This was amended to partial pedestrianisation in early 2023, and further changes were made to the layout and traffic flow in the summer of 2023."
Nope. The consultations are ignored. Simply a legal formality. They always just do what they wanted from the start
Do you really believe everything you read in the papers?
Very true al it seems today we don’t have a choice in many things that are done
It seems to be less all the time.
The root of all of the problems you describe is the fact that the monetary supply itself is completely controlled by central banks working hand-in-hand with the politicians in government. They can print infinite amounts of money whenever they want, which benefits those closest to the spigot from which the money is produced (that's the politicians and their friends they award these big projects too). If only there was a way of separating money and state, which would mean politicians would have to answer to us like they are supposes to. A type of money that the people can use without having to ask for permission from governments and central banks. Study Bitcoin.
It doesn't work like that. Central banks can print money but not indiscriminately. Actions have consequences.
The fundamental problems are apathy, the ability of governments and the executive in particular to legally lie to the electorate and a lack of accountability at the ballot box.
And of those the first is the most egregious.
@@loc4725 I suggest reading the book Broken Money by Lyn Alden. Or The Fiat Standard by Saifedean Ammous. Or just about anything by Ludwig Von Mises. Or there's also Hidden Secrets of Money - Episode 4 which details the process of Treasury Bond swaps and money creation.
All councils are registered corporations (businesses) hence so many are filing for bankruptcy but this explains giving all the contracts (for unnecessary works) to their mates 🤨 If you’re as old as me, you’ll remember your local bus companies with the name of (insert your town name) corporation on their sides 🤷♀️
Very true, nicely said.
Thank you kindly
Brown envelopes!
The call it traffic control and it’s happening in every town, so they can put in a congestion charge , the labour council here in Manchester I’ve just as bad it’s the same in Salford been in for years and do nothing for the people whatsoever
Need a change of party in power instead of Lab, Con, theses are the only party's I've ever known in my time and all they have ever done is take !
There is certainly a slow change that feels 'wool over our eyes' yes I agree.
There might be a few lucky 97 year olds finally seeing the world lol but yeah that passport free age limit should be a good 10-15 years less! It's interesting how pay goes up and close behind all the bills, council tax or rent, internet provider etc etc up their prices also. It feels like a 'we can get a little more now, sneak it in' than a 'we need to increase our bills because...' thing. And the traffic works and single lane choice sound rediculous!
Pot holes will out live the human race lol
Cheers
They sure will.
Dont you hnow that's what you pay tax for, to be wasted and your next war.
It's everything, we have absolutely no cultural review for anything brought in. Huge technologies (the phone) are simply brought in with LIFE-CHANGING, WORLD-CHANGING effects that are simply brought into what we are supposed to call the norm now. Well it isn't, it's simply a choice we all make, and lets face it the phones have completely fucked us all over. I'm 29, incredibly bored of this tech now, where are the adults in the room that might restructure our world to be more fun and enjoyable, sick and tired of us thinking all of this 'progress' is just inevitable, it's not, its a political choice, same as war.
Lovely weather you have there😎, here is scorching 🏜️
It sure is Laura.
