Julian Swift-Hook 'Crowned' Mayor of Olde Newbury Town, Newbury back-slapping at its best! Options

[Andy Capp]

Yep. It's true! As witnessed by an audience of carefully selected sycophants!

[Simon Kirby]

In all seriousness though I'm disgusted with Swift-Hook and the rest of our elected councillors, indulging their vanity with furred robes, ceremonial chains of authority, Gothic offices, and lavish investitures, while public services to the vulnerable and disadvantaged are slashed for the lack of public money.

Come on Simon be fair.......just because Newbury is going to the dogs through lack of our councils mismanagement, services are being decimated, especially for the most vulnerable, roads at a gridlock even without all the new development even being started yet, public owned land being given away to developers with largess, standards must be maintained to give the impression that all is well with the world!
I mean what is the point of all this do gooding if there is nothing in it for the elite?
Yes the show must go on......the plebs will just have to tighten their belts a tad more eh what? You know it makes sense?
Even when the Titanic was sinking the band played on supposedly!
