Title: Black Hand Brigade Throw Doll From Pram
Post by: Pete on April 17, 2014, 04:15:44 PM

After the government called for councilors to declare membership of trade unions, local councilor Andy Botham thought it also pertinent for councilors to declare membership of pressure groups and the Freemasons.

The reply to this was that the entire Conservative group got up and walked out, not to return…

So, what have they got to hide?

Well you assume it's obvious what they've got to hide!!
Interestingly though, when I worked for the borough staff above a certain salary level were required to sign a form each year declaring any memberships of such organisations. I knew of at least 2 who didn't declare they were Freemasons. When I queried this with one of them (actually when he was trying to recruit me!) he said as far as he was concerned it was none of the councils business. He was prepared to declare other things but not the Masons.
