Visit to the seat of power


This photo will be removed on request - I was ticked off for taking it by the Labour front bench and Chair, Cllr Clare, stooping forward - lower right. Enjoy it while you can before I am made to remove it!

I attended the County Council Chamber on Wednesday only to witness what the Westmorland Gazette describes as a Farce.

I saw full grown adults behaving worse than the small children I used to teach. Going through nonsensical manoeuvres of registered voting, adjournments, sniping and refusal to enable work to be done.

This lasted a full four hours whilst in the region of 30 top level officers were made to stand by getting nothing done. This was disgraceful behaviour which brings into discredit the democratic system. With a bit of self control the business of the day could have been completed before lunch and those that had work to do could have done it and left the children to play batting party balloons across this lovely dramatic hall!

I dont suppose they debated getting the organisers of the County Show in to help out? :)

Debated? This class 3 x - you have to get to the sixth form to debate!
