Chris Shaw's verbal attacks on the Government could cost North East Lincolnshire Whitehall support, says opposition

“Says it all about politics per se doesn't it. Our local Councillors once again squabbling, fighting and point scoring in the town hall. As for Councillor Brooks' assertion that the Government will penalise the area because a Council Leader from an opposing party says what he no doubt believes rather than bowing and scraping, is this really how Government works? Hadn't quite realised that we are now the sort of dictatorship that says, "dissent against the Tories and you will pay for it."”

“Sorry, meant to say:
"Such selfish party politically motivated stunts and equally widely perceived faux pas FROM SUCH IDIOTS could just as easily take that bleak economic outlook beyond its breaking point here!"”

“I do see where you are coming from anglepoise. And in other successful areas -or indeed merely surviving areas - I could go along with you!

But given Grimsby's and Humberside's entreched and critical economic demise. Such selfish party politically motivated stunts and equally widely perceived faux pas could just as easily take that bleak economic outlook beyond its breaking point here!

With respect, as reported, surely THERE HAS TO BE an awful lot more at stake for Grimsby's & wider Humberside's futures in such reports/stories!!”

“Like him or not, Cllr Shaw is hardly likely to praise the current government when his party is in opposition. After all they've actually cut the amount of money given to nearly all councils

As for Cllr Brookes suggesting that funding in our area may depend on how nice the council leader is to the government is plainly ludicrous. It sounds like a bit of mischief making by Cllr Fenty, for asking Cllr Shaw to give his thanks to the government, when he obviously knew what the response would be.

Bit of a non story if you ask me.”

“Again,ha ha”

“capitalism has a lot to answer for in this area of the country , its heartless methods have been devastating , the way it treats people as commodities like a piece of machinery , what it fails to take in to account is unemployment which doe's not exist in a mechanized realm so till such time as the automaton rules the roost funding will be to little to late and Shaw will have all the ammunition he needs to bury his mishandling of the local economy under anti Westminster retoric . Brookes would only panda to the coalitions southern leanings,so to put him in Shaws position would be a sycophant to far , what is called for is a party with Great Grimsbys intrests at heart with no national affiliation to our failed political parties.....”

“Oh dear, Mr shaw strikes again, just go, the people of grimsby doe not want you, stick to running your toy town railway. oh but before you go please please do a u turn on scartho baths,”

“Chris Shaw said "We have brought in Dong, RES, Centrica, Siemens – I could go on."

Oh Chris we despair at your shallow knowledge!

Wind energy is very near saturation on the continent and together with governments starting to back away from renewables, the above companies are desparate to seek out any subsidy going. They are attracted to the UK because of the astronomical subsidies showered on any of the mostly foriegn companies!

Energy consumers are being placed in fuel poverty by government stealth taxes/subsidies that are the real life blood of these utility companies locating here. They are paid £billions to build non commercially viable machines. Also the promise of "thousands" of jobs is now ringing hollow, UK jobs may be counted in hundreds perhaps? The already established continental renewable sector (with it's own skilled workforce), is descending on the UK to suck up all our subsidies for foreign shareholders, simples.”
