Another one from this mornings post, this time focussing, for the first time on Rotherham Politics, on Gordon Watson, a labour councillor representing Wales Ward. My anonymous source, to whom I give thanks, poses a question. Readers may have a view on this:
Rotherham Politics 
So if you’re a teacher it’s immoral to be a Councillor? Sorry you’ve lost me there Rothpol.

Isnt Maltby Academy independent and has nothing to do with the Council? I agree with lovedinnington- you’ve lost me with this one…

You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel here – what are you saying – someone who works in the public sector can’t be a councillor and claim allowances? About time you had a bit more discretion over the muck-raking claptrap you post.

We have a caring, hard working and intelligent councillor who is a part time teacher at Maltby Independant Acadamy, can’t see where the problem is. Somebody needs to get a life.

We have a borough councillor who works for the post office that doesn’t make him morally bankrupt, paying themselves the allowances they do; whilst sacking genuine workers now that is morally bankrupt.

Yeah it’s not like you have to look far to find double standards in Rotherham, but if we’re now saying that anyone in full time work can’t be a Councillor that means we’ll be stuck with the wallies we have now for a long time!
