I won't criticise Graham for claiming for a train ticket that would have dented his wallet, nor will I say that it pleases me that as a taxpayer I am footing the bill, but the current Leader of the Council is well aware that 1.30pm is damned awkward for the majority of Labour councillors to attend and it is his actions that have presented the borough with this situation, not Graham Jones' personal greed.
It is costing hundreds of pounds in lost wages and man hours and has caused inconveniences for at least half of the council to rearrange their day just so that Cllr Britcliffe can have the AGM at 1.30pm instead of 7.00pm.
Defend that.
