Exactly. This is the same public who will complain about something to Newswatch or POV which, when explained by the BBC is actually perfectly logical and common sense.

“HYPOCRITE” Tory politicians offered a top council boss a six-figure payoff then criticised Labour for doing the same, it has been claimed.

Richard Packham, managing director of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, could receive a £136,000 severance package if he decides to walk away from the authority - which must find £10m of savings in the next three years.
