COMMENT: Let them eat cake...

Word has escaped that bankrupt Lambeth and debt-ridden Lambeth Living has been on a whopping spending spree with your money over the past eight months.

And not you will be surprised to learn by improving services or repairing the run-down housing stock but by employing expensive consultants in a salary bonanza amounting to over £1 Million in just eight months.

No wonder rents and charges have been sky high and why Lambeth Labour wants to dip into tenants' pockets yet again this year to the tune of five per cent for rent and eight per cent for service charges. They're having a laugh are they not?

Lambeth Labour has been acting like Robin Hood in reverse for some time by taking from the poor to pay their rich friends. They didn't say they'd be robbing you blind like this when they came to your door promising gifts of new kitchens and bathrooms did they?

But then none of the rich kids in New Labour Lambeth have the first idea what it is like to live from week to week trying to survive under Gordon Brown's skinflint government.

If they did they'd resign out of sheer embarrassment for what they've inflicted on tenants across the borough.

Never in the history of public housing have so few inflicted so much misery on so many.
