Julia Pooley for those that want her name

My daughter told me yesterday that she has a 10 year old step son in her year who is going around the school telling other kids I knocked his mum out pmsl, my daughters friends so incensed by this reported him to the head mistress !!

10 year olds eh !!

I assume you live Basingstoke area ?

Well if this candidate is the one you mention, then it seems her competition has a few screws loose as well :D:D

Read down to the bottom to see the candidates mentioned

Report her To the Councillors standards committee
Even if she survives it ,it doesn't go down well for her as they are pretty ruthless
I'm a local councillor and you have to be squeaky clean in everything you do

Yep, read that last week lol.

I wonder what the benefits are to being a councillor as it seems some quite undesirable people are keen to get on the gravy train :confused:

Thanks LH, good info :thumb:

Not a lot of Money to be honest 5-10 k PA if your lucky at city level
15-20 k for county level if your very lucky

Most Councillors have part time jobs as well or retired on a good pension and want to put something back into the community

Generally you do it for the prestige and the feel good factor
Nothing but hassel 80 % of the time but that 20% when people thank you for making improvements ,atending civil duties or opening new projects or switching on the Xmas lights and 2000 people turn up makes it all worth while

But you have to be a certain sort of character

They get bribes of up to 50k for voting when planning applications go to comitee.

That's supposed to be a secret ......;)

Plus VAT :D

A lot of Councillors I meet at work seem to be on some power trip .

Leave her alone, she probably just had the painters in.

I know a lovely councillor who always bumps into me in Tesco. I never spot him in Aldi or LIDL.
