Today's Hounslow Borough Chronicle has lambasted councillors for giving themselves such swingeing pay rises. Apart from the back-dating costing £411,000, some allowances will go up by 56% with backbencher's rises at 2.75%. Quite where this weird piece of justification for this from the great Leader comes from God alone knows - "Because I'm afraid at the moment it makes it very difficult foor younger people who have got a job and have a career to think about giving that up to become a full time councillor if they took up a cabinet post or deputy".

Well, dump this autocratic nonsense of cabinets and reform the system back to the tried and tested committee system, where ALL councillors are involved in decision making and can hold paid officers more accountable. Where annual elections for all positions are held and where we might get the right people for the right job - if we're lucky.
