Dirty Politics

Coming from the leafy end of West Kent, where the rudest thing a councillor would ever say to another is, "I fear you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick", I never cease to be amazed and amused at just how aggressive and personal Medway councillors are (to each other and to their opposite numbers).

I understand that at last night's meeting, one Conservative councillors said to an up and coming, privately educated, city boy Socialist,

"There are two things I don't like about you, both of your faces."
