Can any of you who so wish (which should be all of you) please sign the following petition against Barnet's well-documented 'easycouncil':
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/stop-the-one-barnet-programme.html7
Here is the website for the Barnet Alliance for Public Services. They are (have been) holding a strike and demo today in protest at the privatisation of THE ENTIRETY OF the council. Let me repeat, they want to outsource every single part of the councils services, from care homes to library provision to mental health and more, to private companies. They've already held trade fairs with interested companies, but over the past 2-3 years since the idea was spun, they've consulted the residents ZERO times. There have been many angry confrontations between concerned residents, council staff and council members, who have been too busy increasing their own salaries to actually bother answering residents' questions.

On a personal level, I cannot tell you how absolutely odious the pieces of trash who occupy Conservative positions on this council are. They are the lowest of the low. They were the people who voted 20-50% pay rises for themselves in the immediate aftermath of the 2010 General Election, generating such anger amongst residents that the courts struck the councillors down!
Barnet residents are trying as hard as they can to stop this anti-democratic council pushing its extreme right-wing economic agenda through. We need to support them. Please, please sign the petition and do what you can.
