Business as usual

During these past months I have often felt that we were all living through some strange piece of theatre. It has been a roller-coaster for me with many ups to compensate for the inevitable downs. One of my proudest moments lately was to give important evidence in the case against former Councillor Buchanan. I am happy to say that I managed to allow my memory to evade me when I was cross examined about interviews I once gave to the Standards Board. I told the Adjudication Panel that I simply couldn't remember a conversation in the back of the bus (see page 7 - the crossed out bits). I must say it took all my energy not to look nervous, but those tips Alan gave me worked. So now that my very real friend and mentor has departed I have pledged to keep his flag flying and aspire to the job that he undertook with such vigour and fortitude. I know that when the new Leadership thoroughly examine my credentials they will realise my potential. I am well travelled at other people's expense. Alan has promised to keep me briefed and we can all communicate with him via his recently established website. The fight must go on.
