You're using the name "Len Lowther" in a post and expecting people to take you seriously?
The same as a binman. He's only a council employee after all.

Utterly irrelevant to the point you were making. Chief Execs across the country are well paid and not politically affiliated - their pay and their leanings are mutually exclusive. They are appointed officials - hence why they are usually returning officers in elections - and are required to be neutral.
I'm not sure many people grasp this, if they do they deliberately ignore it and plough on with council bashing

Not defending the high salaries of councillors but the PM gets free housing, food and travel amongst other benefits. Not a like for like comparison really

I know people who think Len is the Mackem Ghandi and believe every word of the vacuous shoite he writes!
For the record Chief Execs are or were on a pay-scale commensurate with City Population - I read (?in the echo) 8 of these 11 execs had now left and the amount paid was a pay-off including pension contributions which they were entitled to. Nobody should be paid what Wayne Rooney earns every three days.

well a broken clock is right twice a day
Len's main problem, is the stuff he may have a valid point, he's just such a hypocrite & goes over the top
For example, the claim that the marine walk was sold off on he cheap
He conveniently ignores that he also got his cottages on the cheap, and also ruins his own argument by massively overstating the true value using strange logic
Then goes on like a radgy bairn when pulled up on stuff that blatantly isn't true
.. Using that analogy, Corbyn should be paying us ..

The lowest claim for expenses is Jeremy Corbyn. Whatever his flaws, thet are miniscule compared to the evil tories. Think yourself lucky that I stoop to give you the courtesy of a reply.
As well as channeling lots of money into the pockets of her husband. It's legal, so we are told, but it shouldn't be. They should lock him and her up in one of his companies jails. Funny that, husband of former home secretary bought jails from her. All above board like?

Shoite bait, Jeremy Corbyn has withstood personal & political attacks for nigh on 2 years and he is still standing where's the Goves, Camerons, Osbornes, Nuttalls, Farages etc of the world? Keeping their heads down because everything is going pear-shaped.
If the fecking Tories get in again we can say goodbye to the NHS and any compassion for the not-wealthy.

You mean the big lefty love in will be over and people will have to take responsibility for themselves? Give people handouts and they will accept them without question. Show them they can do things for themselves and they will be capable.

Big lefty love in? The Tories have been in power longest between the wars and after the last war and not until Neo-Liberalism reared it's head did they try and fix it for the rich and totally feck it up.
Mrs Thatcher a lefty? She was the driving forces behind Comprehensives but that's taking it a bit far.
>> Give people handouts and they will accept them without question. The biggest recipients of hand-outs (and other benefits such as Quantitative Easing) in recent times has been the banks & bankers.
Next you'll be saying 'strong and stable leadership'

You seem to assume I am a Tory. Wrong. Do you deny that too many people have become dependant on benefits when they are capable of taking responsibility for themselves.?
