Foul Mouthed Full Council

Having needed the weekend to finally digest the marathon full council last Thursday night I am still in shock at the behaviour of some members.

You may recall that I received half a page coverage in the Echo for having the 'cheek' to suggest that Katie Price might be telling porkies about the alledged celebrity rape on my twitter page. One resident has a hissy fit and it becomes a scandle.

Having been on the lookout early on this morning for the coverage of Full Council I was surprised that no mention was made of some appaling comments.

First up was Cllr Terry, not content to referring to a fellow member as a dictator (disgusting considering that Rememberance Sunday was just upon us) and stupid he even had the nerve to question the integrity of the Chief Executive as to why he closed York Road market claiming that no report was comissioned.

Maybe as Health & Safety Champion of the borough Cllr Assenheim should slap down his leader, sorry, 'spokesman' over this. Cllr Assenheim has been very quiet on this issue.

Cllr Terry wasn't alone and Lib Dem leader Cllr Longley also got in on the act as some questioned whether he was making homophobic gestures.

I always make it a rule that you never question the handling of Full Council by the Mayor or the Town Clerk but on this occasion it stepped way over that mark and hopefully tempers may have calmed a little in time for next full council.
