Extract from the Guardian diary today:
“So hats off – or, anyway, rear-facing baseball caps off – to Allan
Witherick (pictured) the Lib Dem councillor who is rapping his message to
the voters of Hertfordshire and can be seen doing so on YouTube. He may be
the first rapper expressing concern about the shocking state of the
pavements in St Albans and to pledge a freeze on council taxes.”
