Ignorant Councillors

One of the best things about going away on holiday is coming back to a pile to papers to plough through.

Ok...that's a lie. It's probably the worst thing.

But I do enjoy a pile of new quotes from Macclesfield's uber-opportunist Cllr Ainsley Arnold.

Normally he's always got good advice about what the council did wrong after the event - hoping that no one notices that he was one of the few people who could have spoken up about the problem in advance.

But he was truly stumped a couple of weeks back. When the 'Express questioned him about drug problems is Macclesfield, he replied:
"I was suprised that Macclesfield had such an inherent drug problem"
Oh my...

Honestly, really, truthfully....did it never occur to you? Have you never asked the coppers covering your ward about it? Do you never discuss it with your residents?

Welcome to the world of proactive Councillors.
