The US Presidential election maybe, perhaps diverted attention away from this post on Lib Dem Voice on Tuesday night, highlighting the three Tory councillors in South Norfolk who have, independently of each other, ended up with criminal convictions.
The incident did, however, inspire one local Lib Dem, Terry Gilbert, to compose some verse to commemorate the occasion. It’s well worth reading in full at his blog, Averse to the Right, but here’s a teaser:
So, what of their commitment
To fight anti-social crime?
Well, it might be better if
They kept themselves in line!No fewer than three Councillors,
All Tories (one this week),
Have found themselves arrested,
And up before the beak.…
And so you see the problem
That young Dave has foisted ‘pon us!
One can’t help thinking that he came
To Norfolk just to con us.
Is there a vacancy for Lib Dem poet laureate?
