both the letter Council not listening to us on St Clement’s and The Issue (Oxford Mail June highlighted once again the problem with councillors and politicians in general.
They only listen to people who agree with them. Also David Robertson said in The Issue that people would sooner our money was spent on frontline services than broadcasting council meetings live online.
That sounds all very well, but people also would like to see and hear what goes on in council meetings uncensored and not just the bits councillors want us to hear.
To keep talking about openness and then suppress the facts is recycling the same old rubbish.
Not everyone has time to sit through a council meeting in the daytime listening to councillors going around in circles wasting taxpayers’ money.
People online can record the farces which they describe as meetings, and watch and listen to them whenever they have the time.
