Paid for by Local Council???????????

Question

So Blue Badge guide Simon Rodway is giving film location walks around Shepherd`s Bush.

Okay, I don`t mind the competition.

But what I do mind is that his walks are being paid for with taxpayer`s money.

Now if I lived in Hammersmith and Fulham and paid my Council tax to the borough council, I`d be screaming holy h*** that I`m being forced to pay against myself.

Whatever happened to free enterprise and entrepreneurism?

Let Rodway compete fairly and without subsidy.

Answer 1

Councils should subsidise NO Commercial Enterprises.  They should stand on their own two feet or fold.

Talking of Councils, did you hear this one?

Newcastle-upon-Tyne City Council have just awarded NORTHERN ROCK, the Freedom of the City of Newcastle.

This was just the other day, about a fortnight after the NR almost collapsed with millions of pounds of savers cash.

Thick Geordies   -   You couldn't make it.

Could you?

Answer 2

I could look at them myself for nothing.

Answer 3

I suspect it is because the country benefits from such walks from the money brought in from abroad with tourism.

Answer 4

Governments and Councils should only subsidise necessary services and products that cannot be supplied by commercial enterprise.

As this service can be supplied commercially and is not a necessity, "No subsidy for Rodway!"

Did you actually ask a question?
