UKIP councillor: I’m a member of Equity, so pay me if you film council meetings
Via Richard Taylor comes this unusual demand from UKIP councillor Gordon Gillick:
Cllr Gordon Gillick (UKIP, Waldersey) told Cambridgeshire County Council on the 25th of March 2014, which was debating filming council meetings, that as a member of Equity he would need to be paid if he was to be filmed as well as claiming councillors would need lights, make-up, multiple cameras and professional camera operators.
Presumably this means that whenever he speaks in the council he should be regarded as acting and that nothing he says should be regarded as the truth?
