An item in yesterday’s Beans on Toast (no link) quoted the Public Services Ombudsman as citing Swansea Council as having the worst record in Wales for councillors grassing each other up for alleged misconduct.
No doubt among these complaints under investigation would be the one submitted by the council leader against 31 opposition members who left a meeting in protest over an administration refusal to debate controversial IT issues in public. Accordingly, one might be tempted to suggest that the Ombudsman is actually making a rod for his own back by deciding to give credence to such patent twaddle.
But as the man charged with deciding issues of maladministration as well as misconduct was named consecutively as Peter Tutnalls, Peter Tyndale and Peter Tyndall in the article, it’s just as well that his remit does not extend to quality control in the local press, innit?

The quality of the Evening Post has taken a noticeable nosedive in the last few months.
Front page headlines are now something you would normally associate with The Daily Star.
Plus they have an unwillingness to do any sort of investigative or accountability stories on the local council.
Even when they can string a story together it is so easy to pick up on grammatical errors and inaccuracies ..... have you noticed how many "sorry's" they have to publish these days?
I think it's about time Spencer Feeney started reading his paper and then the poor quality would become all too clear.
