Cash for Councillors?

clipped from www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk Donation broke council rules A TORY Parliamentary candidate DID break council rules when he failed to declare a £5,000 donation from a developer wanting planning permission to build hundreds of new homes. An investigation by the Standards Board for England has found the action by Coun Ron Bell contravened the code of conduct for councillors, but has ruled out punishing him and said asking for donations "was not improper". It was revealed last August that donations totalling £10,000 were made to the Blackpool South Conservative Association by Kensington Developments, which has applied to build 540 homes on Marton Moss. The cash was channelled into an election war chest for Coun Bell, who is the Conservative candidate for the Blackpool South seat in Parliament.

So now it's universal that miscreant political figures handling dodgy money will not face sanctions. Whether it is Westminster or your local council, the immunity is now universal. But just you dare challenge a speeding ticket as Andy Miller would have liked to have done, had he not died in the hands of a magistrates appointed bailiff.
Perhaps Marston's know that JP's are excempt from Rules and Regulations. It all stinks foul in the Offices of the Blackpool South Conservative Party. Not that Labour can be smug. Every issue is endorsed out of an orifice of a man who lied about a £300k loan and Labour worship him. Filthy political shits, all of them. Hypocrits to a fault.
