The Tory group on Barnet Council voted en mass to appoint Brian Coleman as the next Mayor of Barnet. Now it would be so easy to focus on the negatives, but lets concentrate on the positives on this joyous day.* Brian Coleman will get the Mayor's car and Chauffeur. Presumably we have to pay for this anyway, so COLEMAN'S TAXI BILL will diminish.
* The Mayor has to eat lots of FREE DINNER in his ceremonial role. Brian is uniquely qualified for this.
* One of the Mayor's jobs is to present awards to the Borough's top Sports Stars. Brian Coleman took a keen interest in the GB OLYMPIC TEAM. This should drastically cut down the number of Sportsmen and Sportswomen wanting to attend civic events and save some money.
* Brian loves dressing up in bling and he'll get lots of opportunities as Mayor.
* It means that when it comes to possible candidates for Mayor, the Tories really have reached the bottom of the Barrel, so unless they appoint Mike Freer the next Mayor can only be an improvement.
If anyone else can see any other reasons for this, feel free to comment.
Free Grub, free car and free bling! Yep, Councillor Coleman is well qualified to do the mayoral job. Will this mean we the long suffering Council Taxpayers will pay less to keep the Coleman Zeppellin afloat? Not likely guv.
