  As usual, Bob Goldfield has not displayed any public relations finesse.
  
  He is, however, quite right in saying that the Town Council can not contribute "in any meaningful way" to the DHB scheme for privatisation when they have opted to join the board of the Dover People's Port Trust.
  
  What useful contribution can the Town Council be expected to make by turning up at a seminar to discuss one scheme when they have declared their support for a rival scheme?
  
  My own experience of the Town Council was a public meeting at the Town Council offices a couple of years ago with BG and Charlie present. It was infuriating as an invisible council lady asked umpteen totally irrelevant questions and I was just screaming silently for somebody with a grasp of matters related to the port to ask the right questions.
  
  If that is the standard of the contribution that the Town Council can make then they are just going to get in the way if they turn up for a seminar discussing a scheme they do not support. If the Mayor wants to turn up in all her finery, then Bob Goldfield would be well advised to keep her happy by sitting her in a corner with some tea and biscuits while he gets on with the business in hand.
