Councillor suspended for having an opinion


A Swansea councillor has been suspended for 1 month for having an opinion on a new welsh language school. He is against it because there are plenty of other schools that have fallen into disrepair and the money could go towards maintaining them.

Who can we blame for this tyrannical decision? It seems like the John Prescott is still with us seeing as it was his diktat that created the rules that councillors now live under. If you can cast your mind back to September 2006 you might be able to remember that some councillors were banned from voting on sites where mobile phones masts might be located if they owned a mobile phone.

While Prescott doesn’t have any responsibilities anymore his decisions still influence democracy. It seems that the buffoon has more of a legacy than Blair.

This is a truly awful emasculation of local councillors.

I heard of a case of a councillor being barred from voting on a planning application to construct a new runway to a nearby aiport.
Apparently, it was ruled he had a prejudicial interest.
The prejudicial interest?
He was elected as Stop the Runway candidate.

Crazy, isn't it?
