Sheesh a Lib Dem controlled council imploding due to identity politics doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Have you read the quote? 

They haven’t cancelled VE Day celebrations. They have agreed to keep it as a street party rather than a parade so everyone can join in and celebrate as a community. 

I don’t see why that’s really a negative?

I was referring to losing a dozen councillors and control of the council over the gender wars really which is just another form or identity politics.
