As our party makes its plans and preparations to battle the "big four" (or should that be "the two gruesome twosomes") for the upcoming Welsh Assembly Election I would like to make you all aware of a litttle reported - well, actually completely unreported as far as I can see story I heard last night.

As you know, George Osborne announced in the budget that council tax would be frozen for a year.

Not In Wales It Wont Be

The Westminster Civil Marriage of Tory and Lib Dem was of course met with a gnashing of teeth in the Hot Air Pit In The Bay where the partners in power in London sit together in opposition, faced off by the Labour Losers and the bedfellows they chose as THEIR civil partners after the electorate told Mike German's Welsh Lib Dems they could Go Hang and Lembit Opik decided a "cheeky night in" was prefereable to some serious talking to form the sort of rainbow coalition that stutters from crisis to crisis.

So not surprisingly with the parties of opposition in westminster "in power" (whatever that means) on the seats in the castrated talking shop in the bay it wasn't going to be easy to get Coalition Policy implemented west of Offas Dyke, and that's hardly surprising when the Illiberal Undemocrats want to break up the Union so it can be ruled as eleven fiefdoms from Brussels just as Clegg wanted eleven different immigration policies for the eleven EU regions that they want to slice the United Kingdom into.

Now if you take a look round google you'll quickly find plenty of news articles, some quite recent, talking of the proposed council tax freeze. Some of those make quaint attempts at suggesting the issue "finely balanced" and the like.

What you WILL NOT find anywhere - for I have looked - is a report of Carwyn Jones on Radio 4 News between 6pm and 6:30pm yesterday saying categorically that there will not be a council tax freeze in wales - because he does not have the money to permit it.

Proof positive if we ever needed it who the party of spend, spend, spend are. As if we needed it.

But also proof of where we will have to set researchers analysing so as to show where we can make the savings to restore equality across both sides of Offa's Dyke to turn back the tide of attempts to destroy the United Kingdom.
