I know you will say that this post is because I am a member of the Labour Party, but if I thought Graham had done anything underhand or wrong I would be the first to let him know. Despite Graham explaining the problems he encountered last year - and he is to be commended on how he looked after his Grandmother, (whilst holding down a Full Time job and doing all his work as a ward councillor and running for re-election to Hyndburn Council). Do you think you could do that? Frankly I don't think you could - maybe if when you are no longer a student (paid from from my taxes) and you enter the real world, you might appreciate just how hard working and honest, people like Graham Jones are.

Rant now over with.

It's very easy to take the moral high ground from the safety of the ivory tower that is higher education, rather than the much more brutal world of reality.

The real world where people are struggling to fed themselves and their families, and juggle what little money they have to pay their Council Tax bills, and directly fund such shamefully massive pay increases that some councillors have decided to award themselves.
