This what Bill does to his fellow members in Blyth Valley Labour Party

Bill does not come to meetings any more in case he has to talk about the County Council , and answer members questions ?


Moving on
I effectively stopped blogging after I was hauled before the regional board again after another unsubstantiated complaint from Bill Brookes. At the time Bill Brookes was leader of Northumberland County Council, and used the party's code of conduct for councillors to try and bully me into not criticising Northumberland County Council and his leadership style.Now I'm not a councillor, and Bill isn't leader of Northumberland any more, although I draw no solace from the fact that his replacement is one of his closest allies who never expressed any public doubts about Bill's robust leadership style.So this blog naturally comes to an end with an election result a few weeks after it practically came to an end.I'd like to thank all the friends and colleagues who made this blog fun over the last three years. There will be a couple more posts to this blog; once I've decided how I'll blog in future I'll post the name of any new project here, and any thoughts I have about what happened on Thursday will also be reposted here.For now though, sufficient to close with Shakespeare's epitaph for a politicians everywhere;"The evil that men do lives after them,The good is oft interréd with their bones,"
