Barnets Conservatives admit that they are ruining the Boroughs economy

There are some shocking revelations on the Finchley Conservatives latest press release. This proves that the policy of the local Tories is damaging the local economy. To quote their own press release :-

The news comes at the same time as unemployment in Finchley & Golders Green rose by 2.4% in the last month, bucking the national trend. Across the country the level of claimants fell slightly, although so did the number of people registered as in work.

So the economy in Barnet under Lynne Hillans Tories does worse than the rest of the country and they boast about it on their website. It gets worse. Later in the press release it says the following :-

Our local area is being disproportionately hit by the recession, and it is those under-24 that are paying most of all.

So if you want to know why to  give Barnets Conservative Councillors a wide berth, just read their own press releases. They've mismanaged the local economy, driven many small businesses to the wall, refused to implement sensible suggestions to improve access to local shopping areas. They've spent £2.5 million on Consultants for the Future Shape project which is all about outsourcing jobs and creating unemployment in Barnet.

Of course, in the press release the Tories blame the government, but if you read the small print, then you soon see through the BS. The reason Barnet is doing so badly, compared to the rest of the country is Tory mismanagement of the local economy and nothing can disguise that truth. Not only are they too stupid to run the local council without ruining the local economy, they then stupidly put press releases on their website boasting about it.

As ever with cock ups, their strategy is to blame someone else. We can all see through it
