Oldham Beer Festival moves back to Queen Elizabeth Hall
Thanks to a one-year grant of £4,600 from Jim McMahon, Oldham council leader
400 jobs to go at Oldham Council as £24m cuts are agreed
OMBC council leader, Jim McMahon, agrees axing of up to 400 jobs in bid to save £24m
The annual event was axed from the town centre venue two years ago when the Lib-Dem-run Oldham Council asked for maximum rent for the hall hire, which would have left no money in the kitty to hand out to local charities.
Little Jimmy Pudden-Face has now secured its return to its favoured former venue for 2012 with a subsidy of £4,600.
The one-year agreement of £4,600 will cover the rental cost of the Queen Elizabeth Hall. The rent for the QE Hall will return to the council. So why do we have to have this rigmarole? Why not just let the festival organisers use the place for free cos that's all they are doing now. Couldn't be just a publicity stunt for the dough-faced wunderkind, surely? It will distract your mind from the dire straits the town is in though.
Council leader, Jim McMahon, said: “I was approached by the beer festival organisers and have agreed to support this event for 2012 with a donation from the Leadership Priority Investment Fund."
Let's get this straight! When the Pudden says HE has decided to support the event what he forgets to add is "with your money." If this is the leaders priority it reveals the shallow depths of thinking from a so called leader. The two article headlines above, appeared adjacent to each other in the local paper. Did it make you feel good, the chosen 400? Did you all feel a glow of goodwill toward your caring council?
The vapid prick said. “I decided to support the event because I believe the beer festival is an important part of the cultural offer in our borough." That's the problem with this town a 'public piss-up' is classed as a cultural offering
From Cloud Cuckoo Land the whey faced one bleats, “Hosting it at the QE hall brings in hundreds of visitors to our town centre – often from many miles around, which helps to boost our town-centre trade."
What fucking trade? Have you not noticed, Jimmy baby, the town centre has gone to hell in a handcart while you and your band of ne'er-do-wells, preen and posture like the clueless fucking idiots you are?
Do you ever think that people coming from 'many miles around' are probably coming from towns that still cling to the old fashioned ways and have town centres full of stores that are actually open and not just window displays of brown paper?
You say that 'beer drinking is not your bag' ??? Maybe you should try it sometime and get out on the piss! You take it out of us often enough!!!! It might clear your eyes to the shite all around!
CHEERS!!!
