Sorry for Brent Liberal Democrats

I felt quite sorry for the Liberal Democrats at last night's Council meeting.  Many of them simply failed to turn up.  At one point only five remained in the Council chamber.  Saddest of all was Cllr Ann Hunter, who found herself repeatedly voting against the Liberal Democrat party whip in order to support the rebuild of Willesden Library Centre, Fairtrade status and various other things.  It must be difficult to remain in a group where you fundamentally disagree with the entire approach of your colleagues.
