Our favourite multi-named council character, Rob “Aardvark” Bryher (formerly Telford) continues to entertain.

The former Green councillor for Ashley, now pitched up in St George West, recently sneered, from the pages of Bristol 24/7, about ‘some on the left of politics in the city want to set a needs budget’ .
