Crocodile tears
As the Council meets this week to discuss the cuts the various committee will have to implement, and funny and scurrilous, tale is reported to me by one observer of the last series of Council Meetings.
One Councillor made an emotional appeal to protect a certain service area, that was again overspent. His read his 'spontaneous' speech from a page that he had laminated ahead of the meeting.
His colleagues opined that it was laminated so that his staged crocodile tears wouldn't smudge the text.
One Councillor who listened to the speech was appalled at the content, which he said was vacuous, over the top, and offered problems not solutions, and probably caused the majority of the other Councillors to support cuts in that service.
The laminated page, he said, was necessary, as the contents of the speech made the others want to puke.
