Limpet Liberal Democrats frustrate Tory Councillors

25 Feb 2015

One of the most interesting speeches during last night's budget debate at Rugby Borough Council was given by Cllr Jim Buckley (Con, Hilmorton) who accused the Liberals of being the limpets of British politics - see this BBC report on the record breaking strength of limpet teeth http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31500883 .

Apparently the liberals are stopping the tories doing many of the things that they would like to do if they had a free rein. To find out what the Liberal Democrats have stopped which the tories find so annoying visit - http://www.libdemvoice.org/found-david-camerons-little-black-book-37474.html .

Of course all of this had very little to do with setting Rugby's budget. Eventually the mayor took a leaf of "Just a Minute" Nicholas Parson's book and ruled Cllr Buckley out of order for "deviation" and forced him to sit down.
