Springtime in Moseley Christians erecting tools of torture on the Village Green, the sound of bin bags falling on your doorstep, vast arrays of leaflets boasting accomplishments of almost biblical proportions and Eye on Moseley getting off it’s apathetic arse to spread more self interested lies about people who actually do things in their community. It can mean only one thing, yes it’s election time yet again.

At this time of year our local Councillors like to shake off the long sleep of winter and put pen to paper just to let us know what exatly they’ve been up to in the last year. This year we can hear how Cllr Mullaney single handedly fought a dragon in Woodbridge Road, how Cllr Barry “Go to bed” Henley in a surreal tribute to Cher managed to Turn Back Time and how the Conservatives kept their collective heads down in case they disturbed the sleep of slumbering babes.

Over the next couple of weeks we will attempt to use lies and discord to inject a bit of life into, what promises to be, a dull contest to decide who gets to eat a slap up meal once a month at Council Tax payers expense. After that we will probably go away again, don’t worry.
