Guns N' Roses


An interesting blog post from Launceston councillor Alex Folkes, about how he spends the £2,000+ "Community Chest" given to all council members to improve facilities locally. The £395 for his local gun club might raise a few eyebrows, not least from doctors and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. The manufacturers of this particular air rifle describe it as "a very capable weapon." I don't suppose Alex's local gun club has anything like the political muscle of the US National Rifle Association but it is nevertheless a curious indication of priorities. I'd be grateful to hear reports of any similar awards made by other councillors.
