TORY councillor Mudasir Dean’s idea about flying the union flag and singing the national anthem is just rubbish political posturing from a party which can offer nothing else other than vicious cuts and supporting the super rich above the poorest in our society.

I do not support this and feel this should have been a referendum voted on by parents and not by councillors.

I do not want my child singing an outdated anthem that lauds one elite person and says nothing about our multicultural nation.

So before councillors act with arrogance, maybe they would consult the people who put them in their privileged positions in the first place.

I see little between all the main parties which run our council and continue to make decisions that do not benefit the majority in our town. That is why I will be voting for either a Green Party or a Left Unity candidate in the coming local elections.
