Me too. If a councillor is aware that allegations have been made and does nothing about it then he/she is guilty by default. I can't see that Graham is guilty of anything for wanting the allegations to be investigated. I'm still not sure that 'nothing proven' proves there was nothing either. The letter to the Observer earlier this year for instance. That was written in someone else's name and she knew nothing about it. That was appalling but wouldn't have come to light but for Graham checking it out. I'd far rather have someone who actually gets his teeth into things and wants to know what, if anything, is going on than someone who brushes it all aside and says it isn't their problem.

Earlier this year Mani mentioned Montagues and Capulets, and pots and kettles of equal blackness. Now in my view if there had been allegations made as to the blackness of my kettle I would welcome an investigation into that to prove how shiny bright my kettle really was.
