Not Playing Politics But Care Home Closed

 Last night the proposal to close Arthur Clark Care Home passed with seven votes to six - Labour in favour and Tories, LD, Greens and Ind against. 

Rob Wilson MP said: "Tonight isn't about politics it's about people. Frightened elderly people" @savearthurclark

Someone tell the near identical blogs from

And

She had earlier had said "This decision should have been about people, not politics". 


Meanwhile the LD are more accurate with http://kirstenbayes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/what-just-happened-reading-council-runs.html?m=1
"What Just Happened: Reading Council runs out of money" but Kirsten doesn't mention the Tory LD government cutting local authority grants.  Ad cuts for the poorest, disabled & women while the wealthy get a tax cut. 

Meanwhile a typo from Cllr Rachel Eden http://racheleden.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/arthur-clark-doihng-all-we-can-for.html?m=1 in her response.
