Dick Dastardly shouts from the sidelines

By The Basa ⋅ June 11, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Trevor ‘Dick Dastardly’ Davies, the former planning leader, dismally unsuccessful candidate for council leadership and failed-at-the-ballot-box ex-councillor has not shut up just because his electorate have told him to go away.
