A Labour councillor convicted of firearms offences earlier this year has been paid over £5,500 in allowances despite attending just 2 meetings this year out of an expected 14.
Leicester City Councillor, Robert Wann, told the Leicester Mercury "I have been to way more than that. I missed mayor-making but it's more than two". The minutes of the meetings he was supposed to have attended show that he was absent from all but two of them. He has been paid over £2,750 per meeting which is pretty good going when you consider that that's at least £1,000 per hour for the average council meeting.
Cllr Neil Clayton, the leader of the Labour group on Leicester City Council, said there was no point taking the whip off Cllr Wann because he has already said he's going to step down at next year's elections.

Britain must make more things. There is no alternative. The economy must be rebalanced towards manufacuring. All the political parties in Britain agree with these points.
My personal opinion is I believe that the government must support British manufacturing industry positively.
Britain was once the workshop of the world.
The problem here is that ecnouragement and support for your home grown industry is illegal under the European Union Single Market Treaty.

Britain's balance payment is running at 117 billion dollars a year.
It is my personal opinion that manufacturing in Britain need government help and support.
But so far UKIP has not announced a manufacturing policy.

This video says that EU Directives make it illegal to support your home grown industries.
This video leads me to think that UKIP is supportive of the idea of government support British industry.
