One rule for them...another rule for us...

It's a mute point, but, the 'rules' are the same, that's why Roberts has recieved a court summons. There are no rules in respect of acting decently, and in this case, any self-respecting honourable person would have resigned their post immediately, and if they wished to, as is their right, stand for re-election at the next election. However, this breed of person does not accept the requirement for doing the decent thing and acting honourably as his position demands, he believes himself to be above that requirement. Whilst there are good councillors, (such as Sue Shotter who works tirelessly for her ward) the position appears to attract dreadful bumptious characters full of self-importance and a massive belief in both their own self importance and their opinion of what's right. Once elected, their main priority is their own self advancement.
CCBC is not alone in this, it's a general phenomenon that puts many decent people from becoming involved because even if elected, you cannot fight the established, virtually resident, sitting morons.
