I am sorry you have misunderstood what is happening here.
The bulk of the evaluation in the report and conclusion comes from work I and local residents have done over 12 months to find out what is best. We were neither for nor against in the beginning. For an opposition councillor it has been a lot of hard work.
There is nothing clever or sad about working hard, getting residents involved, letting them determine what they want and working for them. What isn't clever but however is sad is undermining people who are working hard and making the effort without yourself getting to know them, what they are doing, how they are doing it and most of all, respecting that effort. Your point was labour councillors should not be making smug arrogant swipes, I don't see it that way.
Having heard much criticism of the project by members, I am questioning the basis of that criticism, it wasn't personal, just critical. My point was nothing more than a humourous, ironic summary of one line of thinking. The type of political humour you would find in a political cartoon or satire.
