I have no idea about him generally but I would imagine a lot of mayors have done something similar - local papers full of thsi stuff, connection between council and community and stuff - and it would raise more donations that way


I dare say if you were mayor you wouldn't confine it to just facebook friends - you'd be aware of the wider civic audience


Just seems unduly harsh is all

That's because you're in Mr Reasonable overdrive this week. And yes everything you say is probably true (except I still wouldn't be doing it if I was mayor). But this particular guy just makes me bristle in a big way and seeing him doing anything for publicity just makes me want to spit.
I was with someone who went on and on about doing the ice-bucket challenge (seemed to be in the hope I might donate). As luck would have it someone with a normal bucket was collecting for the National Association for Crohn's and Colitis so I completely emptied all my small change into their bucket.

    • One of the issues is that under this government, the so called black hole of £20 billion has, according to some, risen to £50 billion. Which will result in even more taxes. I was always taught to cut my coat according to my cloth, which would in an ideal world mean having to halt or stop projects or services until the deficit is down to a manageable level. Increasing taxes has a limit (the Laffer Curve https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve)  and also damages the economy and the publics ability to spend.  If Labour want to turn things around they are going to have to face some uncomfortable decisions on where to cut their ambition.
    • "Country before Party" is Starmer's motto. Lucy Powell, Burnham and other senior cabinet ministers briefing against Starmer, describing the situation as 'terminal', and publicly condemning him is not putting the country first. They'll be no better than the Tories if they enforce on us a new PM and the political dissatisfaction of the electorate will explode.  Labour needs to get its house in order, but there are too many factions and, just like the Tories at the end, it doesn't know what it is anymore. I think the situation is unsolvable.   
    • I saw that too but it was already sold unfortunately -  so if anyone else has one they’re not using I’m still interested! Thanks!
