Beware politicians bearing gifts – just in time for local elections!

Owl was taken by this BBC news headline:

“Struggling towns to get £1.6bn post-Brexit boost”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47435565

which reveals that mostly-Labour constituencies in the North are being offered (small) handouts post-Brexit.

Just remember people of East Devon that local elections take place on 2 May 2019 and promises are not always what they seem – and sometimes just nothing more than hot air blown at us by fake unicorns!

AND HERE WE ARE not 5 minutes later and the unicorn has made its appearance. The “Communities” Minister announces that the money will be spent over SEVEN years!
