SIR – How disappointing it must be for Bradford Councillors to have to wait until the next day to know if they have held on to their position on the council.
No wonder they are throwing their toys out of the pram.
This is how it should be. Why should Bradford ratepayers pay for people to work late into the night just to get the results a few hours earlier?
Do Councillors not realise that people applying for jobs don’t usually know if they are successful the same day, while those sitting exams may have to wait weeks to get the results.
Still, Councillors should be worried. If they lose their place on the Council, they will have to start looking for a real job – one where they will not be able to claim travelling expenses or car park fees.
