War of words over budget proposals to cut posts
HULL: Opposition Liberal Democrats have accused the city council's ruling Labour group of breaking most of their promises made before regaining control at the Guildhall two years ago.
The Lib Dems claim Labour's budget plans for the coming year will mean up to 600 job losses, cuts to frontline services and council tax increases for at least the next three years.

shock: Cllr Mike Ross.
Lib Dem deputy leader Councillor Mike Ross said: "I am genuinely shocked that the Labour councillors who stood on a platform of protecting jobs and frontline services are about to viciously cut both.
"This budget is proof that Labour have failed to keep just about every promise they made before they came into power.

"I think it is right that some of the Labour councillors have started to challenge the old Labour bosses."
The budget proposals will go before a scrutiny committee next week ahead of a full council meeting on Thursday, February 28.
Senior Labour councillors say some of the redundancies relate to savings previously earmarked but never implemen- ted by the Lib Dems.

“Killer 127, nice name,
So anyone who doesn't agree with you is a bufoon, there is a word for people like you, and it shows your lack of inteligence when you accuse HCC of being involed in the spat over the KC pictures, it was the fans and the Allams, Cllr Brady
said: "I think it has got to a silly situation which could have been avoided with a bit of common sense. something you seem to be lacking.”

“The reason this City is in the state its in is because of bufoons who constantly vote Labour into power, local MP's have held some of the highest positions in the last Labour Government, but what did they do for this City, apart from ignore it, it took the Tories to cut the bridge tolls, why didn't Lard Prescott do that when he was transport minister, its taking the Tories to pledge money for Castle street improvements, again Uncle John could have done that. If you continue to put these Champagne Socialists in office you deserve everything you get. The council should do the job they got elected to do, and not get into some petty argument about pictures at the KC when they haven't got a clue what they are talking about. Hull is the hardest place to get a job in the country, its got some of the poorest people in the country, and comes last in just about every survey carried out, surely after 13 years of a Labour Government with local MPs at the very heart of it, ask yourself why that is next time you see Prescott drive by in his Jaguar.”

“Cuts that have come from the Lib Dems in government voting with the Tory MPs. His solution was to shut all the care homes and day centres leaving the elderly vulnerable and isolated. Then his government continued to take more and more from Hull year on year. What a hypocrite.”

“How dare he say these things the is hypocrisy of his lib dems says they have learnt nothing about being honest to hull people, he knows the council have had cuts imposed on them of 100 million pounds and it was nick Clegg and co who voted with the Tory millionaires to do this to ordinary people. Hull has to set a balanced budget or this awfull government will come in and make life even worse for the city , it's services and staff. Hull lib dems have not condemned these government cuts and yet in there focus pokes leaflet they continue to blame labour as if they have a choice. Ross needs to stand up in full council and tell us what his party would do with these nasty evil cuts which are made to impact on the most needy in society like the bedroom tax or young working families loosing benefits to just make it through the week. Lies to students lies to the police with cuts when they said they would recruit 3000 more officers, lies to the NHS no cuts at all they said a nd yet go speak to the staff at castle hill and hull royal ,well we all know now don't we about the lying of these money grabbing lib dems. Ross and co have no thought fr the working people like me who are trying to get by day by day they really are the leeches of society , with a Tory you know that they are going to hit the working man but the lib dems really are the scavenger of our society picking any policy that will get they a vote or more Monet in their pockets”
