If it's a waste of money you should be applauding those councillors who thought so too, and opposed them.
If it was party political, and not funded by the residents of the borough, I wouldn't give two figs. Their money, therefore they can do what the hell they like.
Though this badly designed trash would still go straight into the recycling sack, it wouldn't matter at all to me, because we hadn't paid for it!

I believe the calendars should never have been produced at taxpayers expense. I applaud Labour, or anybody, for suggesting this. It does not become less of a waste because it lacks councillors details, you're right.
I do believe it becomes more of a waste because of the lack of councillors details. No it doesn't become more of a monetary waste, it's the same £500 whether it has numbers of all or some of our councillors, but the value to the resident is surely more if all councillors are included.
If you don't feel that the value of anything exists beyond the cost, that's fine. To me if I flushed £5 down the drain, it would be more of a waste than buying a couple of pints, even if I didn't originally want a drink. I might not have originally wanted the drinks, but I'd damn well rather have the drink than it be flushed down - which is where the criticism of both parties comes in.
