Talking Politics by Councillor David Clayton.

As someone who teaches politics I am acutely aware of the rough and tumble of the political world. I don't mind being targeted, but I draw the line at my children. Yes, my children are educated outside of the Borough but that is more out of convenience than anything as I teach in the same school. Of course I can't teach in Rochdale as it would bar me from standing for office. I find Councillor Brett to be the worst type of 'politician' I have ever had the misfortune of meeting.

Looking at the mural of the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 by King John in the large hall of our town hall, I have reflected on the fact that it took seven and a half years using quill and donkey to complete a national census of Britain. Compare this to the fact that after 10 years a central register for guns has still not been done! It suggests to me that the attack on gun clubs was another deliberate ruse by our government wanting to sounding tough: they knew full well that it would have no impact whatsoever on the number of guns acquired by criminals - a fact that has been proved emphatically since then.
