MPs, David Cameron and Nicola Blackwood are in power thanks to CCTV – Conservative Council Tenant Voters – the very people who are now going to suffer cutbacks in council spending and the NHS, just as they did under Thatcher.

Your local councillors may not be as squeaky clean as they make themselves out to be.
