Desperate times at the top of Bristol City Council.

A recent question to Full Council from a member of the public – ‘The Chair’s confidence in the work of the Monitoring Officer’ – was unceremoniously banned by, er, “Dumpty” Tim O’Gara, the Monitoring Officer!

Dumpty Tim claimed the question was ‘offensive’. Although from where we’re sitting it looks more like the chair, “Tory” Tony Dyer, didn’t fancy having to tell the truth to the public.

Which is that his legal brains Dumpty Tim is obviously a useless lying bent incompetent that it’s impossible to publicly state you have any confidence in.

Oh dear.
