Yes, bit suprising that the new leader of the council, Miles 'I won't be courting the media' Parkinson, has been venting his outrage in the newspapers, and on television.
The overall consensus seems to be that Stuart Maconie's assessment wasn't far off the mark.
It seems that the people of the town aren't as easily taken in by the hyperbole in the press, and less likely to get hysterical, than out leaders.
Which was probably the case when the town formed the battalion known as the Accrington Pals.
Fashions may differ, trackies might be tucked into socks, but I guess when it comes to civic leadership some things never change.
