The hypocrisy of Councillor, Ray Wall
I am very upset by the article on Ealing Today about a Labour councillor raising money for the Ealing food bank. I can't believe that a councillor of any political party in Ealing would try and use a necessary and good cause as the Ealing food bank to get political publicity for their campaign. It is even worse that it is a Labour councillor who is part of the party that supposedly supports equality and inclusiveness in society but the Labour Party in Ealing has trodden on the least well off and most vulnerable without conscience during this term in power in Ealing. It has closed down several places providing day care for the ill and disabled and it has also introduced council tax charges for Ealing residents receiving disaibility allowances, income support, and sickness benefit which other councils have not and which even Ealing's conservatives would not do. What use is £20 or £30 of free food when you are having to pay £300 of extra council tax out of your unemployment or disability?I have to ask where was Councillor Ray Wall when the Ealing Labour Party was using its block vote to close down Ealing's day care facilities for the ill and disabled? Where is he seen speaking out against the extra council tax from people's meagre benefits? Where was he? The word that comes to mind is "hypocrisy".I am a Christian I am also surprised that there is no mention of the fifty mainly Christian churches that made this project happen. To me the article reads as though the food bank is some kind of worthy cause set up in some way by Councillor Wall himself.I shall pray for you Councillor Wall in the hope that you may do something to relieve needy people in Ealing of your extra taxes.
