The PR department and the Council’s resident tweeter fell
silent, not a word came across the ether about these two important meetings. Maybe they were too tired out form all the
Nos Galon tweeting they did, poor things.
Still, they obviously expected crowds to descend on Council
HQ. Hence the presence of three civil
enforcement officers to ensure that people did not park on the yellow lines on
the road leading up to the offices – the same yellow lines people (councillors
included) regularly park on for every council meeting. It was obviously a free for all in other
areas of the Rhondda today.
Both meetings began with the same warning – that the public
were welcome but no shouting for the gallery, and no photos. The second meeting had an extra warning from
the legal officer – no using social media to report the meeting from the
Chamber. They wouldn’t want the public getting wind of what is going on there
would they?
Cllr Cannon in the Chair laid down the rules, he was in
charge and he would decide who could speak and for how long. When Plaid’s Cllr
Jarman complained about a procedural matter he retorted sternly that “This is a
Cabinet meeting, it is OUR meeting not yours.”
I suppose the next step will be to enlarge all the doors at Council
HQ for the inflated heads of the Labour Cabinet to fit through.

HaHaHa, would there be room for another reality TV program? Something of the order of Splash with Mr Cannon in fashionable trunks. I would watch that! Perhaps not, it would sink without trace.
