Guess how many of the 7 Conservative Councillors on the Conservative benches are still in our full Council meeting at 8.47pm??

None.

Remember their commitments to you on May the 4th.

Ghost Children (with @_MissingTheMark). Where are the ghost children? The newspapers are full of them. The radio is discussing them. These apparitions who have apparently disappeared from schools. Invisible children, calling for help, tapping on the windows & wailing at night.1/
