Cllr Mahfouz is showing the strain somewhat I think.  Amusingly he accuses one of my colleagues of a rant in the course of his 722 word ...er...rant!

It is not very dignified for a cabinet member to start accusing people of lying especially when he is talking about the Conservatives’ own position.  It is what we say it is.  That is pretty much the point.  The petition states the Tory position perfectly well so cannot be a lie. 

I reserve the words lie and lying for deliberate falsehoods.  Mahfouz uses them with gay abandon to mean anything he disagrees with.  It is rather ugly. 

Mahfouz is so overwhelmed by the minutiae of council proceedings that he has failed to see the wood for the trees.  Labour’s £40 garden tax will cause the borough’s residents lots of problems and the Tories wouldn’t have touched it with a bargepole. 

Cllr Young arguably did make a tactical error at the October OSC meeting by trying to use the meeting to change the policy for the better rather than just  going down fighting in vain to overturn it completely.  Mahfouz calls this a “cross-party committee” whilst omitting to mention that Labour has 9 out of 15 votes on it and tend to vote en bloc.  Mahfouz quotes minutes that are due to be agreed at the next OSC meeting on Thursday where the wording Mahfouz quotes will get changed as it fails to reflect what happened at the meeting. 

Let’s see how many people agree with the Conservative position shall we?  And then debate the issues rather than the procedure Cllr Mahfouz.
