Think your spot on with that one Margaret, but if I had ever been fit to be a councillor, it wouldn't have applied to me because I always said I wouldn't claim a penny in allowances just out of pocket expenses, you see I was brought up in politics when councillors did their duties for the good of the community not their pockets, which meant that you actually got people who genuinely wanted to make a difference. As people know I was involved in politics for many years I was also very much involved with numerous charities, so my involvement within the community actually cost me money rather than make it, but I wouldn't have it any other way, at least I could sleep at night with a clear conscience
