The question has to be answered. When are Councillors not Councillors? When they are ten yards, sorry metres, from the Council Offices? When, like Councillor Sue Fowler, they watch children climbing all over the public loo in Highfield Road Park and do nothing? Brilliant example of citizenship. Or when they are on expenses paid jaunts reaping the rewards of poor turnouts in elections?
And how, as a privileged member of a political cabal, does patronage not amount to interest? A strange and erudite misinterpretation of the English language. Not even the Minister of (In)Justice, Jack Straw, could get away with that within that inept chambers of accountability; just because local MP's will not hold what is apparantly a corrupt administration (executive) to task. Just check the voting records of Mssrs Humble and Marsden; not very inspirational. But there again, they both did exceedingly well with their expenses, did they not?
They are all Councillors when expenses and first class rail travel are being dished out.
