This is just sad news. Given what our children have to put up with in social media land we should expect a few to be angry. Whilst not condoning this behaviour we allow councillors to lose the plot and lash out and they are adults, all in a days work, do they get a criminal record? If you want to look at stealing then just have a look at grant rorts by the so called adults in charge.
