Some years ago I was having a pint in my local the Stop in Ossy and an old friend came in, after an exchange of pleasantries, as you do, he just said "I see yon Mon's putting up again" who I asked, "Britcliffe", after a short pause he carried on "can't stand the bloke" each to his own I replied, another pause "but I always vote for him"  why I asked "because he's the only beggar that gets out done"  |
I'm not denying his ability to get things done and I'm sure the good people of St Andrews are well looked after but the problem is that there are 15 other wards which make up Hyndburn and he is supposed to be Leader of them all.
It's easy to look after your ward when you control the money and it hasn't taken me 8 months to work that out.
