It's funny because when Mike H made this statement about the council earlier
in the thread :-

"You say that like it's a Good Thing. If you understood Edinburgh at all,
you'd realise that if the City Council is on one side of something, it's
time to start considering whether the other side might not be the one
that has it right."

I immediately thought that it was pure Pratchett.  And then you mention CMOT
Dibbler - what a quincedence!
