ANOTHER week and yet more reasons why carving up West Lancsand sticking half of it in Sefton and the other in Wigan was such a rubbish idea.
This week's juicy titbits are:
- Crosby councillor rapped by Standards Committee for threatening a political opponent. Following a planning meeting he apparently went all Blakey from On The Buses and said: “I will get you for this�. Full story here.
- Sefton Conservatives continue to implode, this time by turning on ex-Mayor by using 'dirty tricks'. Full story here.
- In Wigan, Community Action Party leader Peter Franzen gets embroiled in yet another row over alleged 'point socring'. Full story here.
Meanwhile, the long-suffering ratepayers in these boroughs continue with their daily lives completely unaware of what childish games are being played out in their name. If they knew, I suspect the election turnouts would crash through the floor.

I believe Blakey's been ordered to write a letter of apology. No further action was deemed appropriate because the offence was not in public.
It's all over the papers but apparently that doesn't count.
So it's okay to throw a wobbler and threaten fellow councillors as long as the public aren't watching?
Just imagine if someone from the 'general public' had witnessed the tantrum.
He'd have been ordered to do 100 lines and no doubt a note would have been sent home in his book bag.
Will Blakey claim expenses for attending the meeting or has the public forked out enough cash by paying £4,000 for a Standards Board inquiry into his childish fit?
