Maybe he would like to post his views on this forum of what it feels like to sell your soul for 'thirty pieces of silver' or in this case a golden bauble.

He seems to have been oddly silent, since all this brouhaha exploded, even though he's been on the forum many times recently, and even read this thread.
His last post was the rather cryptic invitation to pm him, as to his reasoning. Seemingly because he didn't have the strength to say what he believes publicly.

At least his last post actually seemed to be by Mayor Pritchard. Unlike his earlier posts, in which he spoke of himself in the third person, and says he 'knows' himself, which is most handy.

I'm sure the whole Borough will be looking forward to seeing Cllr. Pritchard enthroned at the mayor making ceremony.
It'll probably be the best remembered occasion since the one when the viaduct was hung in protest banners, outraged at who was being made mayor that eventful day.
Perhaps Cllr. Pritchard won't even wear the historic chains of office after all.
At this very minute there could be a jeweller, busily beavering away, fashioning a new chain, out of the thirty pieces of silver.
Let's put all that aside, and wish him well.
After three.
One, two, three.
'For he's a jolly good fellow.
For he's a ....'
Nevermind then, have it your own way.
