Labour councillor defends glamour hobby
A LABOUR city councillor says he has nothing to hide over his side-line as a glamour photographer.
Councillor Sean Chaytor, who represents the Marfleet ward in east Hull, is the secretary of the opposition Labour group on Hull City Council.
Away from his council duties he works as an administrative officer for the court service at the Hull Combined Courts complex in Lowgate.
However, it is his online presence as a glamour photographer that has raised some eyebrows at the Guildhall.
Under council rules, all city councillors have to declare any employment or business interests in a publicly-accessible official register.
Until details of his hobby were spread across the Internet earlier this week, Cllr Chaytor's entry in the register only referred to his court job.
Now he has added amateur photography to his entry, but insisted he had done nothing wrong.
Hat-Tip to Dizzy Thinks who gets a mention in the article, and it is proof that there is life North of Watford. I note there is no mention of the allegation that Mr Chaytor actually resides at a Beverley address and uses the Hull address as a cover. Mr Chaytor again claims that he has done nothing wrong and that the Beverley house belongs to his wife.
Original story here.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

In a sense it doesn't matter if he is within the rules or not. The fact that he is holding the people of my ward in contempt, by living in what is supposed to be one of the best places in the country while "representing" one of the poorest wards in the country, will surely not be lost on people.
I will stick the knife and twist when the time comes.
Oh and he claimed 18,576.74 2007-2008 for doing what?
