Which bit is childish, walking out or sensationalising it?

Does this sound sensational to you?

Look at what the rabble in Parliament do, shout over each other so you cant even hear the debate like school children and tell lies while protected by privilege but wont repeat outside the house.

Its just party politics, one side bashing the other with whatever they can, always has been always will be. Its a lot easier to see when like me, your unbiased.

Are you saying I am biased Neil?
I have no political allegiance.......I support no political party, local or national.

Yes, there will always be the school yard stuff(It was 'im that started it Miss, not me) which I find childish....especially when these people are there to do a job......reperesent their wards. They cannot do that if they aren't in the meeting.

As for the rabble in Parliament, they are a very poor example...they call themselves 'Honourable', but they would not know honour if it came in a large parcel with its name printed all over it. They are only there for one thing.....the filthy lucre, which is funded by our money and a 'high on the hog' lifestyle.

This is part of the reason why a lot of the electorate are so disillusioned with the whole thing, and I include myself in this.

There should be a commonality of purpose. This is especially true in local politics. Instead we get childish behaviour which takes up time and energy that could be better employed in tackling the current problems, in both the country and the borough.

And to answer your question, the childish bit it the walking out

There was a funny story about that episode, a relation of the said lady was having a drink in a local establishment and was heard to say, "I'm not a fan of Britcliffe, but he certainly got that one right";)

Exactly, it is the leaders column, yet the Leader doesn't use it.

Margaret, politics is just Chess without the board, its about checkmate and who can make the final move. This thread highlights it more than anything, Britcliffe walked out of a meeting two minutes before the end, now what a massive story that is, just wondering why it wasn't front page news on in the Guardian and Mirror;)

Re: I'm going outside now, I may be some time
 

If you mean it is a tactical game then it might be a bit like chess, but it takes some reasoned thought processes to play chess well, and to me these actions do not show reasoned thought proceses, they show reactions. Not good, in the people who are holding responsible posts in our borough.
It is Mickey Mouse antics, comic stuff...except, I don't find it the least bit funny.

So it just needs a name change, simpleess

cow Noun. 1. A contemptible woman, a 'bitch'. Derogatory, but often used less aggressively, as an affectionate aside, as in 'silly cow', see also 'moo'. :rolleyes:

Political Column, as far as I'm aware.

Peter still gets his name and face in every week, no one ever needs to worry about that....

Re: I'm going outside now, I may be some time
 

affectionate ?- narcissists have affection for themselves only - this was derogatory use, without doubt.

Re: I'm going outside now, I may be some time
 

I won't disagree with that, the disappointment comes when there is no actual point to an interjection in a live debate other than to attempt a salacious jibe.

If nothing else, it is just one more thing to drag out the length of meetings.

I know a narcissist when I see one.
I had the misfortune to be married to one for 8 years.
We went for hypnotherapy during a brief reconciliation attempt, and the therapist refused to continue treating him because 'he has a personality disorder which would be dangerous to attempt to remove'.
