IT IS good sport criticising the leader of the Royal Borough, the council itself and, especially, the deputy leader Cllr Daniel Moylan.

There is no need to do any homework. No need to know what you are talking about. So unresearched assertions, unsupported accusations and empty sound bites are the order of the day. No need to fear libel actions either as local authorities cannot sue by law and local councillors cannot afford to. When the critics do their homework they may achieve something - until then not.
