*If* you tried reading it to the bottom you'd find the speech was wrongly attributed to Mr Williams !



I have an amazing attention span for a "meagre sat installer" ;)

TOP GUY! PASS THIS ON

Please forward - if it can happen in Doncaster it should be able to happen anywhere !!

Subject: Every Town in England needs a Chief like this.



A maverick mayor elected after promising to slash council spending, clear the streets of yobs and ditch politically correct services is the torchbearer for how towns should be run.



On his first morning as Mayor of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, Peter Davies cut his salary from £73,000 to £30,000 then closed the council’s newspaper for "peddling politics on the rates".



Now three weeks into his job, Mr Davies is pressing ahead with plans he hopes will see the number of town councillors cut from 63 to just 21, saving taxpayers £800,000.

Mr Davies, born and bred in Doncaster, swept to power in the May election with 24,244 votes as a candidate for the English Democrats, a party that wants tight immigration curbs, an English Parliament and a law forcing every public building to fly the flag of St. George.



He has promised to end council funding for Doncaster’s International Women’s Day, Black History Month and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month.



He said, "Politicians have got completely out of touch with what people want. We need to cut costs. I want to pass on some savings I make in reduced taxes and use the rest for things we really need, like improv

, like improved children’s services".

Mr Davies has received messages from well wishers across the country and abroad as news of his no-nonsense approach spreads.



Now it’s your chance to spread this most sensible way to run a town council.

Anyone know of a list of local 'English Democrat' offices????????

If they can get a few thousand more council leaders to follow this guys lead. Then maybe a couple of thousand MPs, i might even be persuaded to give old Blighty another try.
