The apparent standard of scrutiny, or more appropriately the lack of them, has walked – very quickly - up the M6 from Westminster and now seems to reside in Blackpool Council Chambers. When the whole world could see the Committee (?) on Standards in Public Life is now nothing more than a nodding shop for MP’s duplicity, a miniature version appears to have taken residence in the North West.

Hang Ron Bell by all means, but hang him fairly. Is he being hung out to dry because the local Con… (sorry I cannot bring myself to write it because they have emasculated the metaphor) the Blue Party anticipate the gay and lesbian vote to be so mobilised that the majority will have to settle for whomever they vote for? Put up multiple scaffolds for the rest of the miscreants who abuse privilege. And abuse privilege they do. From whomever thinks they have the right to delete public opinion, to those who misappropriate public funds by excessive claims for First Class travel etcetera, they demean the fight for civil rights that continues even after four hundred years of struggle. From members of Parliament down to and including local councillors, all forget that they are public servants, are not above the law as the Westminster 4 now claim, and have a moral duty to act and perform accordingly. If this means they have to develop integrity, so be it.
So should reporting and criticism. The only comment I have on that knickers thieving Mayor –Preesall Bubbles - is that it was a shame that my cousins’ boys were not a home when you were out on patrol.
Machiavellianism hasn't been diluted by the passing of time.Blackpool Council will carry the banner.
