Sarah Teather and Libraries

Ann John did yet another TV interview on libraries last night, but I was more interested in the lobby of Sarah Teather reported in the Guardian this morning.  She has been advising people to borrow books from Kensal Rise Library in a similar protest to the one reported in Milton Keynes.  What she is not reported as doing is taking responsibility for cutting her local Council's budget by £37 million this year and more in the years to come.  It is fundamentally dishonest for her to pretend that the coming cuts to Council services are anything other than a direct consequence of the Liberal Democrats decision to form a government with the Tories.
