In truth, I've read very little on here, in which posts weren't respectful, whatever that means, to our local councillors.
True, people do grumble about politcal parties, and some policy decisions. Nationally, and locally.
Most people usually comment that it is a hard job, and they are often in a no win situation.
For centuries Britain has satirised politics, and those who choose to enter it. From eighteenth century pamphleters, nineteenth century newpaper cartoonists, to today's television shows.
It's a release mechanism, born of frustration, and the notion that it's often better to laugh, rather than cry.
Long may it continue.
