The Dame is not a vindictive old cow. When she got a desperate phone call from Cllr Palmer she sprang into action.
The councillor has been persuaded by his colleagues to take up this challenge. As one said to the Dame, " it will keep him out of our hair"!
Tomorow, the Conservative Councillors’ Association (CCA) will send out electric ballot papers for the Boards’ election. I have submitted my name for the position of London Representative because I want to make changes to the way we work in London.
I believe the London representative should make the effort to communicate with all Conservative Councillors in London. To do that, I hope to be able to visit every Conservative Group in London and break the silos(?) that our Borough boundaries create. Regular communication via email(as long as those f******g filters do get in the way!) and better use of the website, ConservativeHome.com, will also be new features of my term. This may sound obvious, and if so why then has this not been done in the past? And why does it take a genius like me to come up with it?
Although the local ilections for us are 3 years away, I have a set of clear targets:
1 Keep every seat we hold and increase their majorety.
2 Take seats from our opponents...particulary Cllr Dent Coad who is so beastly to me.
3 Continue to control the Councils we already hold and take back those we used to control. Where control is not realistic, we must support those Conservative Councillors and candidates in those Councils.
If elected these targets will be my guide and I hope you agree with them.

Dear Fellow Conservative Councillor,
Yesterday I wrote to explane why I was standing in the Conservative Councillors’ Association elections as the London Representative.
I recieved a not very positive responses from some of the 600+ Conservative Councillors in London and it is clear that my email hit the right note of disperation that I need something to fill my days.
Today the CCA have issued the Ballots via email.
Fortunately for many people, their filters have caught CCAs' email to them.
Vote Early
Vote Matthew Palmer for London Representative

Queens Gate Ward, Kensington and Chelsea
At least the spelling is reasonably ok....Cllr Moylan just have checked it
ReplyDeleteThere is no mention of Cllr Borwick in "Palmer's" hate mail. It must be a fake.
DeleteIs this another spoof story from the Dame? Sounds a load of bollocks.
ReplyDeletePlease watch your language. Why not call the councillor instead of wasting the Dame's time? Ask him yourself....
ReplyDeleteStill sounds like a load of bollocks. Readers know that there is no love lost between you and Palmer - maybe he will blog and confirm that this story is rubbish
DeleteDame, this is hilarious. I have seen Palmer's electioneering emails and the one's you have put up are exact facsimiles-apart from you very naughty editing to include his usual spelling mishaps!
DeleteDear Con Home Reader
DeleteHe didn't really mention Cllr. Dent Coad, did he?
No, I think it was the Dame being just a bit naughty
DeleteOh, it's true, very scarily true!
ReplyDeleteI will keep trying, but Cllr Palmer (or any other person) does not answer the phone for the number given out by the dear Dame. The call goes through to an EE mail box.
ReplyDeleteThe Inspector is either asleep on the job or the phone number is a hoax. Either way, we need to find out.
Yes The Dame has done a little, witty, editing, but these are indeed basically the two emails that Cllr Palmer has sent to Tory Councillors across Britain seeking support for his CCA Board bid. This is no hoax!
ReplyDeleteWhen will the Tories rid themselves of this menace to society and liability to the Party?
