Candidate for Freedom of the Borough?

Mr Brooks’s reassuring relocation back to the area has clearly re-established him as our essential intellectual reference and vital moral compass.

Indeed, while I am firmly against such awards, whether at national or local level, I must concede that in many people’s eyes Mr Brooks might be a thoroughly worthy and justifiable recipient of such an accolade.

I do realise, however, Mr Brooks could not possibly nominate himself for such an award - but then again...?
