Getting angry at other Councillors

This is possibly the most remarkable thing I've ever read:

This chappie is a Councillor but lives in the states whilst he studies a PhD. Can you believe that? How could you possibly represent your ward whilst living thousands of miles away?

And how could you have the Audacity to continue banking your allowance?

This is the most extreme example I've seen of politicians who don't take the local aspect of their job seriously.

There seem to be a few of them in the commons, lets hope this (highly educated) fool doesn't end up there.
