Begging in Leicester. "The Mayor is wrong to disparage those less fortunate than himself" writes Leicester Liberal Democrats' Howard Sisson
I was disappointed and saddened to read Sir Peter Soulsby's comments regarding 'beggars' in the 'Peter Soulsby responds to readers suggestions' feature posted online by the Leicester Mercury last week. http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/leicester-mayor-peter-soulsby-responds-to-mercury-reader-suggestion-to-improve-city-centre/story-30077228-detail/story.html.

Is this the beginning of the end for May’s Government?
In this age of the image, when pictures are flashed around the world in an instant, I believe the image of a smiling Theresa May hand-in-hand with President Trump may be the most iconic of her Premiership, and, because of the power of images, will hasten her decline. This was a catastrophic mistake of image presentation by the Prime Minister. To be pictured smiling in the company of this President who is so widely disliked, condemned and feared in this country, and to be recorded admiring and praising his victory, was bad enough. These were cringe-making, teeth-gritting sacrifices, perhaps, for the necessity of the continued international leadership of Britain and the USA.
