And yes, I would criticise any other Councillor, regardless of party, if their posts were as badly written as all his. This poor grasp of grammar, punctuation etc, also extends to his emails replies too.
1. Politics shouldn't have a capital letter.

2. People's should be peoples', being plural.

3. Councillor shouldn't be capitalised, seeing as it refers to councillors in general.

4. You should never start a sentence, or a paragraph with 'and'.

5. Etc. should really have a full stop after it, being an abbreviation.

Other than that, spot on.

Next time we have a vacancy for an anally retentive nelly, we will consider your application.
