I met him once and when he noticed I had a Bberry he said he had one too and that they were great for getting through meetings by playing on brickbreaker.

You are correct Labour had a mjority of one and a guy from airedale has died leaving it tied . Labour still remain in control due to having the most seats. this has nothing whatsover to do with the delay.

As far as the council being hung we don't need a mass hanging one person to do the 'tyburn jig' would be sufficient

Nope, from reading in between the lines the application is ready to submit, the arrangement of the press conference is the issue. Initially council leader’s were dragging their feet, in petulance it seems, and now the new date is scheduled so all bodies represented can be there.

I personally don’t the week running up to Christmas is a good time for a press release.

Whilst I’m sure it will be a nice present for the faithful, for the wider world it will go largely unnoticed. I’m unsure as to what will be in the press release, but surely, an announcement in the New Year would have more impact .
