Bury St. Edmunds and Forest District Councils are seeking a joint executive at a price range between  £105,000 and £115,000.  The advertisement in the MJ (formerly the Municipal Journal) concludes with  “We need someone whose time has come to help create a shared vision for West Suffolk – and then deliver it”. The bells started ringing and then suddenly the penny dropped. It sounds like an up to date version of: “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer” — “One People, One Nation, One Leader”. With attributes like these at such a low cost you can see why Woolworth’s went bust. Meanwhile with two district councils and one Chief executive I see at least three contenders for the post of Generalissimo or Duce.
