John Cotton, leader of Birmingham Council, claims an end to the bin strike is nigh. His opponents claim this is a cynical ploy with days to go before the local elections.
That can’t be right because, if it really were a cynical ploy, it implies Councillor Cotton thinks it will win his incompetent crew a few extra votes.
Surely nobody, not even Councillor Cotton, really thinks the people of Birmingham are stupid enough to believe he has miraculously come up with a deal which he has failed to do for well over a year.
It’s not a cynical ploy. It is the last despairing twitch of a dying administration.
When the election is over, Birmingham faces a coalition of chaos – but even that can’t be worse than the dreadful, profligate, incompetent crew about to receive their just deserts.
