Democracy in Action

The people spoke, and may have gotten more than they bargained for:

Three Liberal Democrat councillors have quit the party in protest over a colleague - who also works as stripper, a kissogram and runs a sex phone line from home.

Councillor Tony Inch, his brother Simon Inch and deputy mayor Caroline Church have stood down from the party over the antics of Myrna Bushell, 34.

She was elected onto Bideford Town Council in Devon as a Lib Dem candidate in the local elections on May 3rd.

....Councillor Bushell stood for election along with her husband Mel in May - and both won a set with 468 votes and 518 votes respectively.

But at the same time she was appearing on a website as 'Jessica, 35 - a very sexy auburn professional Devon lady Kissogram, Stripogram & Stripper Entertainer'.

She currently appears on two websites runs by the Xanadu Entertainment Agency, which says it has represented her for over three years.

Beneath several saucy photographs a price list says a kissogram is £85, stripogram (lingerie and strip) £95, topless strip stripogram £110, stripogram (full or g-string strip £125 or Strip Show (2x strips with a change of costume) £160.

....Despite the resignations, local Liberal Democrat chiefs claim the Bushells may not actually be fully paid-up members of the party.

Noel Thompson, chairman of Torridge and West Devon Liberal Democrats, said: "This is something we are looking into.
