A news and politics thread nothing to do with Brexit!

Whether national or local government and regardless of the parties in power, we seem to be living through a culture of noses in the trough ?

Which council is this?
Some of your accusations app;y locally, but we don't have an elected mayor.

Which council is it sunseeker? Our mayor is Andy Burnam. Here in Manchester we had a referendum asking if we wanted a mayor or not. The result was over 60 percent saying no, we did not want a mayor.
The result of our referendum was ignored and a Tory mayor was imposed on our city.
After an election, Andy Burnam became our mayor.
I don't see him as a moses in the trough sort of chap though because he donates a percentage of his income to help our homeless.

It's Bristol. The current Mayor is Marvin Rees - I thought he would make a refreshing change from his predecessor but he has proved to be a huge disappointment. He said he would have a "rainbow" cabinet, with people from all parties to represent the views of everyone - he has gradually changed that so only members of his own party are in positions of influence.

Ilovecheese "Moses in the trough"!
