Same old, same old.
You say, and I've no reason to doubt you, that this was done by a Labour supporter, note not a councillor, and it is totally unacceptable and an example of gross bad manners, but when your little pal and our council leader calls a fellow councillor an abusive name, in public and in council chambers, you refuse to condem it.
This two wrongs somehow making a right just doesn't wash, because they most certainly don't.
Maybe it is an acceptable defence to the blind party faithful, who never seem to have the strength to criticise or rebuke their own side when they've quite clearly done something wrong, but it certainly doesn't wash with us, the non-partisan electorate.
We are sick of hearing the line 'it doesn't matter we've done something wrong, because they have as well'.
