Watched it tonight because of this post, loved it, defiantly worth a watch and very entertaining, which after all-like it or not, is the point.

Name one thing that's improved since he was elected?

Absolute total nonsense, in the councils 50 year history not once, that's never!!!! Has the government threatened it with intervention. This is now twice in Preston's short 4 year term. Please do not drag good councillors, and I include councillors from all sides of the spectrum down to his self...

Best advert for a pay rise yet, and if one isn't forthcoming, then a general strike!

Next someone will be complaining that girls wear skirts in the winter! God forbid!

It's not unusual, the "Volt" package is still available now on it's website, still at £79PM, granted I got a few extras chucked in as a long term customer who threatened to leave, but we all have that option if we work at it. https://www.virginmedia.com/join/products

I pay £79 for 1gb broadband and full TV including movies and sports with Netflix for 18 months guaranteed no price increases for the duration of the contract, agreed in November just gone.

The mayor isn't the council, people shouldn't get confused with others who care about our area, support some of what the council is doing with being supportive of the guy who heads it.
