Being deemed medically unfit to do his job in Liverpool does not necessarily mean that he cannot do his council work.

Totally agree with this, which I posted on another topic as a comment rejoinder. Seem to remember he was the country's youngest council leader in 1986. The assumptions people make about disability are often very ill-informed and badly clichéd. Good Luck to him and "keeping busy"

It reads like you could make a later-life career though in writing Eulogies Hinch !

Quietly disagree at least about Terry Linden, we've obviously had different experiences. I'm reminded that Allen Brett is back as well.

Mmm, 'Beware of politicians making mischief' indeed.
