Cat's in the cradle.

With the news that Ted Watt-Ruffell has resigned lacking only a formal confirmation from TDC will Dane valley be seeing a second embarrassing by-election for the conservatives?
While, thanks to the fairly normal (read totally unacceptable) process of information release at present, it is unclear as to from what Cllr. Watt-Ruffell has resigned exactly and if he will be departing the local council it does look likely that he will soon be leaving a space vacant for both Mayor of Margate and Ward Councillor for Dane Valley.
In case you have been living under a rock of late Mr Watt-Ruffell was recently told off (formally, in the courts) for not looking after his kitten properly. While having a crap pet owner on staff is probably a straw too many for the besieged Conservative group one has to ask what reflection, if any, it has on the man's ability to do his job? On this subject I had the mic over to you.

As you know Matt, I (unlike you) have little political bias, counting prominent councillors from both sides as my friends. But the whole thing has been handled appallingly, making Thanet (once again) the laughing stock.
