Ah! So now those implicated in prepapring the motion have names. And far from being sprung on them at the last minute, as we were originally told, this motion appears to have been the result of a certain amount of planning discussion and lobbying.

I have to ask, why then was the original motion couched in such appalling English?

Have the spending cuts at HBC reached such dreadful proportions that they cannot afford a spellchecker, much less a proofreader?

It was Cllr Moss's contention, the other day, that one of the reasons this motion was passed was because councillors decided to step back and look at the bigger picture, and in any case there were more important things for councillors to concern themselves with such as clean pavements and nice parks. Funny that, considering that the leader of the Labour group, Cllr Miles Parkinson, could find plenty of time to listen to the lobbying by CCllr Dr Hassan. He could also find plenty of time in his presumably tight schedule to include other councillors of the labour and conservative groups in the plotting.

The questions arise; Why all the obfuscation? Why can they not just be honest and admit what we now know to be the truth?

What happened to honesty and transparency?

The longer this goes on, and the more we find out, the more damaging this whole farrago becomes. And the closer calls for an official enquiry also come.
