Councillors are beyond reproach -aren't they?

A Conservative candidate in Thanet has been expelled for describing the women of Margate as 'sluts'. Oh dear. The offending word appeared on his Facebook page.

The overwhelming majority of councillors are fine upstanding citizens.  Unfortunately, a few are reprobates.  Some have made it to a Blog devoted to unmasking wrongdoing.  Not for the squeamish.

As far as I am aware councillors are not CRB checked, which seems rather strange as councillors can come into contact with children and vulnerable adults.  In my extensive travels I  came across one male councillor with an unhealthy interest in small boys, but he had not been CRB checked.   Are councillors CRB checked?  They should be.
