Getting Priorities Right-Moylan in tearful address

The other day the taxpayer funded £140,000 a year Danny 'Boys' Moylan took to the council chamber floor and made an impassioned speech in defence of residents.

Hardened and cynical councillors were moved to tears as he regaled them with a story of how the swingeing cuts-authorised by his nemesis, Der Leader, had ripped the heart out of community.  As he spoke his large frame wobbled with emotions and huge crocodile tears rolled down his puffy and pallid cheeks.What could have caused this outpouring of emotion? Tearful residents in the public gallery were astonished by this 'road to Damascus' conversion of the former hard man and devout Catholic.
Was Danny Boy about to plead for Elaine Macdonald whose carer's allowance was 'snatched' so fripperies like the new 150 litre V50 Bentley limo(used by Der Leader to save taxis fares, according to Mr Myers) could be maintained?

Tragically, the answer was no. Under Standing Order 19, where Councillors can speak for two minutes about Matters of Local Concern, Moylan was keen to point out his concern for residents accustomed to attending drawing classes at Leighton House. Apparently there had previously been two courses of classes of 16 weeks each per year. However in a shocking and callous move, this has been 'wilfully cut back' to two courses of eight weeks each. This is due to the installation of an Artist in Residence who allegedly needs the space. But, as Danny Boys said, 'Where is the work?' It would seem that the former Deputy Leader has just commenced his leadership campaign....and The Dame is keen to apply for this delicious sinecure.....
