This is dedicated to every councillor who’s ever sat down in their lounge with a friend and a big tray of sandwiches and spent hours trying to improve the council budget…
The film is “Dave” starrring Kevin Kline, who plays an ordinary guy who just happens to be a perfect lookalike for the US President. When the president goes into a coma after a stroke, Dave is persuaded to secretly stand in for a while. The hardhearted and conniving Chief Of Staff (Frank Langella) sees Dave as just a puppet. But when a government programme of homeless shelters for families is axed, can Dave save the day?
