"Surely they could find just one or two Asian or Black councillors".
Why?

My council does not have one single Black or Asian or people with a disablity, seems you must be white fit and healthy.

Its my experience that MOST people whatever the colour of there skin do not want to donate a large part of their lives for nothing!I cant speak for the others but I know Randall Brew has worked in the Birmingham area for most of his life and a large part of that work was in the volunteer sector. I'm surprised at you Bob .You are just contributing to the general view that councillors are just some little boys club.no wonder theres no respect for councillors and no wonder nobody from the Asian or Black communities wants to do it!!!!!!!!!
