I KNOW very little about particle accelerators, gamma radiation or changing nappies. If the town ever needs a spokesperson on these issues, there is no point in asking me.

In my time at a councillor, I would not comment on issues I did not understand. I simply took the opportunity to improve my understanding.

So why do those computerphobes on the council, who obviously do not know the first thing about new technology, feel qualified to comment on the issues, let along make decisions which affect the future of the town?

It's time the King Canutes on the council stepped down and made room for a more forward-looking generation.
