Sent for publication yesterday, but too late for inclusion, is the following from Better Boston Group Councillor Brian Rush, which we publish as a "bonus" item for the week.
"I had sat and digested Councillor Larrington's chastisement regarding my contribution recently, and indeed burned the midnight oil as I regularly do despite her indoors's protestations ... responding to each and every one of his observations.
"Then I thought ... No! I will be brief.
"He claims that Boston's present woes are nothing to do with the Conservatives.
"Instead, blaming me for having been a former member of the BBI, and rightly blaming them for their incompetence and mismanagement of our borough.
"But wasn't it the former incompetence of a Tory-led council* that caused the birth of the calamitous BBI?
"Was it not Martin Hill along with his Conservative county colleagues that has continually ignored the plight of this town.
"It is his reactive need to spring to the defence of his Conservatives that actually proves the point I was trying to make.
"Political parties stick together, listen to no one, blame everyone else and have to live by the Party Line.
"His ignorance of fact further highlights his own naivety.
"It is a matter of record that Councillor Anne Dorrian and myself (BBG) were the first borough councillors to meet, consult and support the swimming club in the training pool battle; it was some time later that the singular Conservative Councillor Singleton-McGuire, signed up to the cause.
"Sorry Myles!
"Now how about Councillor Larrington explaining to the public where he stands on buses in the precinct?
"We know what Lincolnshire County Council and the BBI think, and we know what the people of Boston think?
"Over to you councillor.
"Brian Rush."
* Editor's note: Although the previous administration was politically one of "no overall control" the reference to Tory-led means literally that the leaders at the time were Conservatives.
