  Hard to say Bern, but poor Roger's joke on the Jokes Page went national with every national newspaper and televison carrying it...they were even camping outside his door, but he didnt mean anything at all. But only those who know him would understand that, but once you are a councillor. ..whooosh! It started small, probably someone was outraged, and then bang..it hit the bigtime. I dont think anyone tipped anyone off maliciously as nobody really had anything to gain...the story had legs of its own.
  
  In this case KathyB would probably have got the story probably from a DDC or Conservative source, or as I understand it she knows his FB countenance well..then she may have tipped the nationals as a good story is a good story is a good story. It may simply have been through the press route rather than anyone seeking mileage.
  
  Several years ago we endured some very nasty comments from Cllrs on here, being Cllrs we thought it was probably okay to run with it, as I mention in post 46, but those stories exploded too and finished them as I remember. It was in our early days...things have changed with us now, we dont run the stuff.
  
  By the way we will be dropping our Jokes Page in the autumn. It has outlived its era.
