It's not like you to skip a post and jump at a chance to miss a point. It's not sexist to point out that female councillors may feel unsafe where male ones don't, as a lady earlier in this thread and a female councillor expressed, without being jumped on by anybody, from any side.

I know he's put a few pounds on over the years, but you surely can't be referring to our esteemed leader, Councillor Britcliffe, as 'the fat of the land' can you?;);)

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

Who'd want to share a room with Britcliffe.

Retlaw.

I reckon that all politicians should go on minimum wage for a year

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

There's also a KFC just round the corner from Whitehall, on the Strand, where you can eat in.

He could sit in there and guzzle a full family bucket for only £9.95.:D

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

i'm interested to know what they class as a meal.

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

Glad to see your no party allegiance stance has sparked you into condemning the double standards within the opposing party on expenses too Garinda. ;)

This is LCC allowances I found on their website, it would appear they don't have a limit as such as anything over the allowance can be claimed on production of receipts.

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

You'll just have to accept the fact, that unlike yourself, being a member of the Conservatives as you are, that I have no hidden agenda to push, and no party line to follow.

This leaves me free to say what I actually think about any given issue, and either praise or criticise as I see fit, as witnessed by my recent negative comments about the present government in the Lordy Lordy thread.

Freedom from wearing political blinkers is a wonderful thing. I feel sorry that you can't enjoy it too.;)

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

Perhaps you should have some real independent convictions then, and come down hard on Labour for expenses hypocrisy too. You're somewhat similar to a oiled worm ;), slipping your way out of situations, with an argument we both know is not an entirely sensible one to repeat. You're a stuck record, so I'll give my stuck response; everybody has 'blinkers', because everyone has opinions. You're aware I'm most close to the Conservative party, because they most closely share my beliefs. One belief I have in this thread, is that Labour have been entirely hypocritical on expenses, which is down right shameful. Perhaps you don't share it, perhaps you should defend them, perhaps you'll even continue giving this response of avoidance. I must inform you though, this isn't an application for the Daily Mail, no doubt your current logic would work wonders though. ;)

Most close to?

You are an active member of the Conservative party.

I've never found any one party whose policies mirror my own, therefore I choose not to affiliate myself to any party by joining their ranks.

If you can manage to see past your blinkers you'd understand that my comparing this government with the morally corrupt one of John Major's, in relation to the latest scandals, isn't exactly a glowing endorsement.;)

I shall continue commenting on things I think are important from my non-partisan position.

You are free to continue pushing your one party agenda.

Most of us realise that your viewpoint is somewhat skewed by this, and make allowances for you.;)

Re: Living off the fat of the land.
 

Personally the only time my needle seems stuck is when I've said something the Tory clique on Accy Web don't want to hear.

Then I have to repeat myself again and again, and give examples, of both praise and criticism I've made of both ends of the political spectrum, thus proving my impartial stand.
