Our wonderful councillors

I was going on .here just before Christmas about what a bunch of useless tossers we have controlling our borough council. I am not alone in my dismay that, for example, they say they won't make a decision about developing the land around our football ground for another 18 years, and a meeting was arranged to discuss this and other issues regarding the lack of any progress over assorted plans to develop the town.

The meeting was packed and people were turned away from it. However, room would have been found for the leaders of the council - had they chosen to attend.

Only hours before the meeting was due to be held, the Liberal Democrat leaders of the authority announced they would not attend because it was "too political".

Politicians not attending a meeting because it will be too political?

Beyond parody.
