Labour ‘Ducking Issue’ of Potholes

Local campaigner Chr1s Tw3lls joined K31th Orr3ll, Liberal Democrat Councillor for Huntington and New Earswick, to float toy ducks in a pothole in Hambleton Way, Huntington to highlight the state of the city's crumbling roads.

Coun Barnett, who represents Hangleton and Knoll, was approached for a comment on the issue yesterday but declined.

The complaint relates to views she expressed to The Argus in August after place mats featuring golliwogs were found on sale in Bert’s Homestore in Brighton. At the time Coun Barnett argued that the dolls were not racist and branded the complaints against the store “political correctness gone too far”.

When asked why the shop should continue to sell the mats, she said: “They’re nostalgic, not racist. When I was young I remember saving up for a badge showing a golliwog playing a banjo.

“My children had golliwogs and they preferred them to teddy bears. It’s because they’ve got happy, smiling little faces.”

In 2011 Coun Barnett was found guilty of bringing the office into disrepute after handing out maps to travellers to try to get them to leave her ward.

A councillor was prosecuted over unpaid council tax after officials refused to settle the matter out of court.

Patrick Warner, who represents Sovereign ward on Eastbourne Borough Council, claims the local authority he serves is using summons as a way to raise money.

He missed payments on his rates after losing his job last year.

Coun Warner told The Argus: “I’m not a silver spoon Tory.

“I have worked hard all my life from when I grew up on a council estate and never tried to shirk my responsibility.

“Those at the top obviously have enough during difficult times and those at the bottom can access council tax benefit.

“But it’s the people in the middle who work hard every day that are being treated somewhat unfairly.”

Councillor Jodie Jones is a 23-year-old beauty
BY NEWS TODAY · AUGUST 30, 2011

SHE’S a far cry from the stereotypical stuffy old politician, but councillor Jodie Jones is causing a stir at her local town hall – and is already being dubbed ‘Britain’s sexiest councillor.’

The Tory politician – who gave up her social life to pursue a career in politics – certainly looks like she would be more at home on the nation’s catwalks than council chambers.

Stunning Oxbridge graduate Jodie was elected as the youngest councillor on Cannock Chase District Council earlier this year making her a surprising addition to the Staffordshire authority.

A far cry from the often dour-looking men and women sitting on Britain’s council’s,the glamorous 23-year-old has sure been turning heads at the council chambers.

While the down-to-earth beauty is representing the voice of Britain’s youth generation, she freely admits that she enjoys a night out on the town with her friends.

And judging by her Facebook profile, she’s certainly not shy – as a range of pictures show her in clinches with female friends, partying in a bikini and sitting in the street holding two bottles of booze.

But her lifestyle as a young girl has not been to the taste of all of her colleagues.

Councillor for Heath Hayes and Wimblebury, Diane Todd, said: “These pictures do not show the behaviour she should be displaying.

“That’s not the behaviour I expect of a councillor, she needs to make sure that she isn’t seen sat swigging from bottles like this.”

Fellow councillor, Christine Mitchell, warned Jodie she need to make sure her normal lifestyle doesn’t get her in trouble.

“We all know what young people do,” she said. “I’m sure if you go out on a Saturday you’ll find the older councillors inebriated as well, but she has signed up to a code of conduct.

“She must make sure that she doesn’t do anything or say anything that might bring the council into disrepute.”

But pretty Jodie says the transition from politics student to politician has taken a toll on her personal life, sacrificing love and friendships along the way.

Tories don't deserve love or friendship

Don't worry, Jodie has since found love again:

The indulgent smile on my wizened features collapsed on reading the phrase "The Tory politician"...

I still managed to feel slightly sorry for her, considering how bizarrely unrestrained that article is in its leching.

that piece is the worst it's true

nice for her she went to that fine old institution, the University of Oxbridge

i believe she studied Econosophy

There's a Mail article that goes over pretty much exactly the same ground, but is at least embarrassed enough to affect that it's just scandalised by her 'outrageous' facebook photos rather than going all in with the explicit perving, I'm not sure which should properly be considered worse.

there's a story out there about a Lib Dem councillor who works as a lap dancer or something, i left it out as not in this thread's original remit - happy that this remit has broadened btw - and not really wanting to republish it

this thread has filled me with an incredibly deep sense of sadness

Fills me with pride at our democratically elected representatives. Best local councillors in the world.

If there's anyone on ilx who works in publishing, a coffee table book of local councillor photographs needs to happen.

out of context some of these look like part of a weird anti-glamour fashion shoot

is this hula-hooping woman on the left a minor celebrity?

they couldn't find a photo of this guy pointing at a pothole so they've just put an insert of his official photo over a stock photo of a pothole (idk where that pothole is, but reverse google search indicates that its photo has also appeared alongside pothole stories in the Newcastle Chronicle, the Bristol Post and others)

the puddle of piss in't road has a depth and substance to it that PrOgResSIve All1AnCe is looking at with envy and admiration.

It's not a local councillor pointing at a pothole. It's some business owner from Belfast stood inside what the local infrastructure dept refer to as a culvert. But it's a superlative entry to the local press doing pothole stories genre.

big week for Britain's local councillors

From potholes to petals.

it's noticeable that several of them have no idea what to do with their arms when they're being photographed and there isn't a nearby pothole for them to point at

Inside every fat local councillor there's a tiny Prime Minister trying to get out.

young trendy independent councillors on the pothole run. They could have done a more proper repair with a sack of readymade cold lay tarmac, but didn't want to get their threads dirty!

Pretty sure filling it with cat litter isn't going to work.

turning a pothole into a gravelly bump that cats will try to shit in is a poor fix

this new initiative is really quite something. starmer tackling the big issues

Our local -- nasty, right wing cunt -- councilor retired for some reason, after 9 months of holding an MP job (in Kent) as well. Sure he can multitask.

The Reform bloke who's one of mine lives in my block of flats. Completely corrupt albeit in petty yet still irritating ways. I saw him fly-tipping a couch on the estate last year with another bloke. Recently the council added double yellow lines and new parking spaces to the estate to stop people parking here there and everywhere, apparently due to emergency access. I noticed the lines weirdly stop outside the back of his flat where he parks his car. I guess not a surprise given Lutfur's history.

Sorry not Reform, Aspire! Morning brain has me mixing up one stupid politics verb with another.
