According to the Observer ex-Mayor Tony Dobson has been criticised for his fund raising whilst in office last year. The person who seems most angry is a fellow Conservative, Cllr. Doug Hayes.

I'm not going to type out the whole story, but the link to the Observer is here.

Personally I really can't see what the problem is.

The method may be unorthodox, but so what?

Money was raised for charity, no one appears to have been conned, and I can't really see why his fellow Tories are rounding on him.
