\nPAUL STAINTON: <\/strong> And we smile at this, and we\u2019re smiling this morning, but it\u2019s serious business. This is our money, isn\u2019t it. Millions of pounds of our money.
\nMIKE FLETCHER:<\/strong> It is. And when this comes up in group meeting or committee, some councillors grin, and snigger, and think it\u2019s funny.<\/strong> Well it damn well isn\u2019t funny. And I\u2019m absolutely beside myself with rage over this.
\nPS:<\/strong> There\u2019s sniggering going on is there?
\nMIKE FLETCHER:<\/strong> Oh yes. Yes. From fellow councillors, snigger and grin, and think, hello, here he goes again.
\nPS:<\/strong> Well I\u2019m glad they think it\u2019s funny that twelve million pounds of our money could have been wasted. I\u2019m glad they find it something to snigger about.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.newlistener.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/fitzgerald_fletcher_tweet.jpg\" "\\"fitzgerald_fletcher_tweet\\"")
