Judge and Jury

Tonight’s Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council Full Council meeting will see Councillors discuss the punishment to be meted out to Cllr Jock McCads after he was found guilty of inappropriate behaviour and bring disrespectful to the Smalltown and Dullbridge Smalltown Administration Deputy (SADSAD), Eileen Mutton.

BeFuddled Party Councillors had hoped that the All-New-Yet-Unimproved Somerset Cuonty Council (ANYUSCC) would fully deal with the issue, but instead the Standards Board, having agreed a course of action, has given the problem back to SaD Town Council to deal with.

The Standards Board has recommended that Cllr McCads be sent on a Special Course to teach him the error of his ways, but whilst the ANYUSCC has offered to suggest a suitable Special Course it is up to SaDTC to organise Cllr McCads’ attendance, which means that the BeFuddleds will actually have to make a decision for once.

Meanwhile it is likely that Squire Teflon, having smelt blood, will go in for the kill by suggesting that Cllr McCads should resign after bringing SaD Town Council into disrepute as well as making Council employees uncomfortable. In this way he hopes to regain his position as Smalltown’s Most Popular Person and, with a vacant seat In the Smalltown Posh ward, work to install his close-friend Mistress Bones onto the Council.

Eileen Mutton has also called for his resignation, saying that the BeFuddled Party should remove him from office and suggesting that she will not attend any meetings where Cllr McCads is present,

Meanwhile, Chair of the SaD BeFuddled Party, Cllr Banish Barracuda has promised that the BeFuddleds are taking the matter very seriously and will be talking and thinking about Cllr Jock McCads’ behaviour, whilst simultaneously hoping that the problem will go away on its own, so are unlikely to come to any decisions. Headmistress, Mayor and Dictator Cllr Kelsey Dullard is pushing for his removal, and is backed by Deputy Dictator Knickers, but so far other members of the BeFuddled Party have remained firmly on their fences.

Until Cllr McCads has completed his Special Course he is only permitted to enter Hayloft Road Palace to attend Committee Meetings, where he will have to wear a pointy hat with a ‘D’ on it and sit on the naughty chair at the back of the room, facing the wall.
