Reform cry foul over Green 'gesture' during council meeting

So let me get this straight:

Reform want more freedom to be offensive but are offended by being called wankers in a meeting.

Greens want more polite debate but are happy to call their opponents wankers during a meeting.

From the EDP (accuracy not at all guarenteed)

A Green county councillor has apologised after making an offensive gesture to Reform councillors during a meeting of Norfolk County Council where freedom of expression was being discussed.

Amber Smith directed the lewd hand gesture towards members of the Reform administration sat across from her in the County Hall chamber during the full council meeting on Tuesday.

Ironically, the incident - dubbed 'w**kergate' - happened shortly before a Reform motion which focused on freedom of expression.

That motion saw the authority agree a review of the council's constitution should consider how members who make "controversial, offensive, shocking or provocative comments" at meetings or on social media are protected.

Reform's motion requested that a forthcoming review of the council's constitution to consider how Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights - which protects the rights of freedom of expression - relates to the code of conduct for councillors.

During the meeting and before that motion came before councillors, Reform councillor Jack White raised a point of order saying there had been "swearing and offensive language" from a Green councillor.

He later told the meeting that Maxine Webb, leader of the 13-strong Green group, apologised to him for Ms Smith's conduct during a break in proceedings.

And Jaden Lister, just before tabling his motion surrounding 'freedom of expression', said Ms Smith, who became county councillor for Bowthorpe in May's elections, had apologised to him for what he described as her 'unsavoury gesture'.

Following the meeting, Mr White posted about the incident on Facebook, as did Great Yarmouth First leader Jon Wedon, who said it was "totally inappropriate, disrespectful and unnecessary".

Afterwards, Green leader Ms Webb said: "Full council can be an intense experience and councillor Smith accepts that her emotion-fuelled reaction was inappropriate.

"I have personally apologised to councillor White, as well as writing to the leader.

"I'm confident that it won't happen again and the Green group will continue, as always, to actively contribute to robust, but respectful political debate."

Ms Smith, who was also elected as a Norwich city councillor for Bowthorpe in May's City Hall elections, did not want to comment further.

Flying ants everywhere guys. Had 3 land on me throughout my lunch break.

But I was thinking, it’s kinda cute! It’s like their graduation day! Nicely coincides with a lot of our own university graduations and school leaving ceremonies! I’m sure the ants are very excited to leave their nests!

Question❓ Kind hairdressers

Upvotes

This is embarrassing for me so, apologies.

I suffer from depression. Spent about an hour and a half combing the mats out of my hair yesterday.

Does anyone have any suggestions for hairdressers who could cut my hair without judging the state it's in?

Sorry. Thank you. Sorry. Thanks.
