Hold the front page! A Tory councillor has parked his car where he shouldn't.

This is the level of childishness to which our local politicians have descended with their propoganda.

And since the political group offices at the town hall are funded with public money, residents will be delighted to know they are paying for it.

I can't wait for next week's instalment: 'Wicked Tory breaks wind' perhaps.

I am pleased to report Labour was very upset when they heard I was taking them to task over this and complained it was unfair to use just a bit of their press release.

Ever helpful Notebook prints the full text:

Barnet's GLA representative, Tory Brian Coleman, has been caught on camera illegally parking his car.

The snaps were taken by an irate member of the public last Saturday 8 July, who saw Coleman park his car illegally on the white zig-zag lines next to the zebra crossing outside The Spires Shopping Centre in High Barnet.

Coleman was then spotted driving the car away at least half an hour later, while everyone else had to pay The Spires car park charges. If caught, the Tory councillor would have faced a £60 fine.

The photos were handed over to Labour councillors who revealed them during Tuesday's full Council meeting.

The exposure came during a self-congratulatory Tory debate called to praise Coleman on his GLA election.

Labour Councillor Pauline Coakley-Webb, said: 'In just two months Brian Coleman's head has got so big he thinks he can do whatever he likes.

'It's typical of arrogant Tory councillors to think there's one rule for them and another for the rest of us. Considering Brian Coleman gets over £40,000 of council taxpayers' money he really should pay The Spires car parking charges like everyone else.

'Coleman should donate the £60 to charity and apologise.'

This marks a new low is childish, petty and irrelevant material. Notebook is considering offering a reward for a picture of an improperly parked car belonging to a Labour councillor.

But, of course, they never, ever, leave their cars where they shouldn't. Like hell.
