Green Party back 24 hour drinking

One reason why the environment is in such a mess, and many nerves torn to shreds, is that people seem to have lost the basic commonsense of resting once a week and being allowed to get a good night's sleep.

No community can support a carry out drinks shop 24 hours a day, it is inevitable that customers will have to come from far and wide by car, creating a disturbance for its neighbours into the small hours of the morning.

So you would have thought that those bastions of environmental protection, The "Green" Party would understand when a local residential community like Bearwood here in Sandwell objects to a 24 hour drinking license.

Not a bit of it. In a tirade that could clearly shows they no nothing about the community they aspire to represent  the Sandwell "Green" Party have launched a stinging attack on both the local community and those we elect to represent us:

"Buying booze creates jobs, and may even create a buzz and attract students or god forbid, improve the living conditions of a pretty rubbish part of the world. Whingeing about problems that may or may not happen simply reinforces the message that Sandwell is backward, conservative and culturally stagnant."

That's the "Green" Party for you. They think that we're rubbish in Bearwood. The  think 24 hour booze improves living conditions! I hope those Methodists who tell me they are thinking of voting "Green" take note. In Sandwell you really have to be green to vote "Green".
