The problem with what people believe they know about Councillor Siddique is that none of it can be proved so if they came right out with an accusation it would be dismissed for lack of evidence. Therefore those things, whether they are true or not, are not going to have any bearing on Councillor Siddique becoming Mayor or otherwise.

Things which are relevant, factual and can be proven are what need to be considered. It has already been stated here that the man has very little grasp of the English language and I would consider that to be a handicap to anyone claiming to represent a Ward where about half of his constituents speak no other language but English. If he engaged an interpretor then that would possibly be overcome. However, it would seem that he has no need of an interpreter because we have been informed that he does not deal with council business when one of his constituents telephoned him and was told to contact 'the council' instead - surely that was what the constituent was doing? It would therefore appear that not only does he have little grasp of the English language, he also seems to have little grasp of the role of a councillor. Perhaps he's been taught well in that respect by Hyndborg BC.

I find it very difficult to believe that anyone can become a teacher if they have not even managed to acquire basic GCSEs. Where do they teach? This is a matter which I would suggest needs to be addressed to the school/schools where they are employed. I did have a maths teacher when I was at the High School who openly admitted that she was hopeless at geometry (which of course made me choose the most convoluted geometry questions to tackle when we were given a free choice for homework) but she was brilliant at other things and an excellent teacher. I cannot believe that anyone 'thick as 2 planks' (even if they aren't short ones) could become employed in a teaching capacity.

How do people manage to be purely educated in this country? How do people manage to get through their school years and learn so little? Do they bunk off all the time?

Please excuse me but I had to at the idea of Less and PB being lovers.
