Apart from the publicity and campaigning, the only practical step is " Refusal to assist any officials sent by DCLG to enforce a cuts budget".<br />In the scenario where we have a pro-austerity government after May, it will not need any "assistance" from councillors. The council employees would work to the government's budget under the instruction of government appointees. (You can't put a picket line in front of a ministerial email.)<br />In the scenario where we have a blocking wedge of anti-austerity Greens and Nationalists, the strategy would not be needed anyway.Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913126682239562897noreply@blogger.com
