COUNCILLOR Sammels looks like Brad Pitt?! The only sensible thing I can say to that suggestion is you what?!
If indeed Coun Sammels does look like Brad Pitt then Brad's going to have to come off my top five list quick smart. Clearly, Stephanie Tye is having a laugh.
Seriously, however, the fact that the only thing on Ms Tye's mind at the local elections count was the talent is worrying.
In the name of local democracy, surely our journalists should be reporting back to us on the night's events and what these new councillors have pledged to do for Swindon.
Surely, our journalists should be demanding more from our councillors than "a little less gum on show when you smile please".
Furthermore, the suggestion that a dubiously good-looking man has now provided young girls and women with a good reason to get involved in politics is nothing short of offensive.
However, I do now have a tiny plea of my own for Ms Tye, can I have a little less anodyne trivia when you write please?
H Saunders.
Swindon
