STOCKPORT'S leading councillor has sent two children's maths books to a London think-tank after miscalculated statistics listed the town as a major crime capital.

   Absolutely ghastly mistake by these 'think-tank' chappies. Stockport is a first rate town, always fond of a Sunday drive in the old Rover up through Marple and so forth. Can't simply sit by and let these blasted so and so's malign such a splendid town.

Best regards

   If Stockport's leading councillor had acted smart, instead of ridiculing this inaccurate report he would have asked for more government funding to tackle the perceived 'major crime problem'. Less half-baked PR, more political savvy would have served the town far better. Next time, think outside the box, Councillor Millard.
