I'm sorry, on most things I'm prepared to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, irrespective of their political persuasion. I admire any person who puts themselves forward for service to the community without seeing any gain for themselves. However, when a councillor says he needs his £38,000 allowance as a councillor because then I can't help but see him in the same light as all those MPs in the expenses scandal 
I don't think we should be too bewildered at PBs relentless hold on his ward if the majority of the constituents are true blue Tories  I'm just grateful we now have a labour majority council. |
i aint convinced the majority of his constituents are true blue Tories Mike, they may be, from when i lived up yon, i would think around 50/50, the fact is the horrible git has been a damn fair Ward Councillor, although i'm spitting feathers saying it.
