Mr Gaughran is the type of man who shows no concern and annoyance of those who care about
our wildlife.

Its so sweet when drivers stop to let rabbits cross the road - and it gives the rest of us the opportunity to practice an emergency stop. — feeling annoyed.
Is this the reason for the Flawed Internal Audit?

Home from work; sit down; wake up 3 hrs later.
Getting old; or working too hard; or both — feeling tired.
A typical Rutland Mob Issue

Time to undo all the good work that Jeannete's little pixies have done this week. First a glass of wine; then several more glasses.

Its important to rehydrate after a hard training session - and cyder must qualify as one of my five a day

There comes a point where will power just can't cut it. That's why God made alcohol.
And they wonder why I think all connected to our local governance are piss heads!
All the above information is available in the Public Domain No Privacy has been invaded
In other parts of the country a mistake on this scale would have triggered a police investigation, but not in Rutland, Leicestershire Police "our friends the police" described in an email copied to me, are in the
pockets of this flawed Tory controlled council.
Whilst the police continue to build a case against Councillors and other critics of Rutland County Council
the Tory council is free to do as it pleases.
I agree with others, there are serious flaws throughout this council.
Planning
Finance
Leadership
Management
To name just a few.
All the Councillors who voted, so senior officers who were over paid a huge sum of public money
should resign.
Can you imagine Tory Deputy Leader Terry King letting his employees at his chipboard factory
keep any over payment of any scale? or any of the many Tory Councillors who employ people
I think not.
Public money at Rutland County Council is easy to obtain and easy to squander.
This mistake as the council describes it as should not be ignored. Some one must be responsible
for this continued mismanagement of Rutland County Council
Caerphilly council chief executive arrested in pay rise inquiry
And Leicestershire Police should stop supporting this mob.
Councillors should stop fighting each other and their critics.
I am currently awaiting the external auditors report into Oakham Town Council, I believe
that will contain some very serious comment which they will attempt to keep hidden.
Today's Rutland Times hides this important headline inside, leaving the front page free for publicity of Tory Leader Roger Begys friends beer festival to be held at the Museum later this month.
