I think this is one situation that the Council Solicitor wont be able to sweep under HBC's very large rug.

No doubt there will be a number of Hartlepool Council Officials sphincters giving it jip today and also a number of Elected Councillors sphincters pulsating awaiting the knock.

Worrabout all the projects and sponsorship? will the Fireworks still go ahead? mind you it does seem that the Fireworks have started already.

We all know that all the Mails articles are copied and pasted from other newspapers, when did they employ any investigative journalists ?

[Land Phil]

What ever next, somebody questioning if all the planning permissions related to the accused were above board.

The SCABS are probably looking for a pig to create a distraction from this.

Could the Stubbs club house end up being the HMRC staff club ?

Landfill tax evasion AND money laundering.

Shades of Al Capone here, don't you think?

Indeed. It'll be interesting to see if any of the money laundering allegations include sponsorship of certain events & promotions
