Do they get paid a salary, or is it just expenses?

The Grift Goes on

Doesn't this come under the laws for 'political uniforms'? Banned since Moseley and his mobs?

Councillors just get expenses

[The perfect fumble]

That twat should be forced to watch this over and over and over again....

They know that when they sign up - or they should know it if they are wanting to win and not standing as a paper candidate. Thats why so many councillors are middle aged - they are retired and devote their time to the job.

They get allowances. Basic usually £10k up, plus responsibility (e.g. for cabinet, committee chair). Leader might be a full time job in bigger councils. Most councillors reckon more than 20 hours a week on council business.

What's gone is an allowance based on attendance at meetings. Nice if you don't turn up and party whips aren't bothered. The other parties may make political capital about absentee members.

I have been so many meetings where councillors turn up for 30 mins and then goes home. We all knew why.

I also recall the Chair for one committee would not start before 8.15pm so the meetings would go on until late. The reason for the late start: his wife wanted him to eat his dinner and they ate at 7.30pm every night.

Given that, as the police have pointed out, there are already plenty of existing ways for concerned citizens to support law and order you can reasonably assume anyone setting up their own group has ulterior motives.

Thing with the flag shaggers is they are blaming this Labour Govt but the law that prevents people hanging flags without permission from public street lighting was introduced in 1980, Highways Act section 132. A time when Reformers were still Tories.
