Labour-Bürgermeister soll seinem Sohn geholfen haben, sein Telefon zu verstecken, nachdem er ein 15-jähriges Mädchen vergewaltigt hatte

Wtf is wrong with people. I can’t imagine how scared that girl must have been when she woke up naked in a fully grown mans car, for him then to show her a recording of him raping her. I hope she’s doing OK and getting the help she needs.

Worth saying this is a lord mayor, they’re a glorified local councillor, and I think it’s usually an honorary position rather than a position of power.

The same also goes for most of these stories about councillors from other parties. There are lots of councillors and lots of wrong-uns.
