I wouldn't go as far as to say that Simon, I have always maintained that anybody who stands to be a councillor in this day and age deserves everything they get, and I mean all parties, you only have to see what goes on on here to realise that the general public are a very hard animal to please, after all party politics aside councillors on the whole do a very good job for the people they represent, you soon find out who are the poor ones they don't stay around long
