Everything bad about British local government was embodied by this nasty little man.
Uneducated and not very bright, Cockell feathered his nest with unauthorised use of the new Bentley(which he pressured the council to buy);vast expense claims for purposeless trips to New York, Boston and San Francisco and his quadruple jobbing making him one of the highest paid councillors in the UK.
It seems his council allowance is now mere bagatelle set against the £100,000 a year he picks up from various nondescript companies.
And Stanley ward residents beware...Pooter is machinating to replace one nasty little man with another....none other than the dreadful Jonathon Read......
Another notch in the Dame's best corset!
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for the Dame, Pest Eliminator extraordinaire!
The Dame and the Labour councillors that edit this blog had nothing to do with it, he stood down two years ago as leader, after 11 years at the top.
DeletePalmer...you really are an absolute arse.
DeleteLook at the front page of the Hornet and count the number of years the Hornet has been going...
The Dame's constant sniping at him in the end caused him to resign.
Palmer. is that the Kandy Krush Kouncillor - who takes him seriously
DeleteWell done Dame . that slug can leech off some other body than that of RBKC .
DeleteSo he has been elevated to the peerage.
ReplyDeleteLord Cockell of Kensington?
Not even the House of Lords could stand the smell

DeleteNot a day too soon to see the back of Cockle. Stanley Ward residents need to think very carefully about ex Cllr Read and study his form in Earls Court. The Sutton dwellers will get no help from him.
ReplyDeleteStanley Ward, you have been warned.
Nobody likes Read apart from Rock FM, and he's billy no-mates so that's almost sad.
DeleteI'm so glad that my close friend Sir Merrick will now have time to count his money, and not have to deal with all the ridiculous allegations of double-jobbing and taking advantage of the system, levelled against him.
ReplyDeleteHe is so very deserving of the huge pension that he did so much to secure.
Lets hope the Chelsea Independents Dare to stand
ReplyDeleteWhens the election !
ReplyDeleteWe would love in Stanley Ward to say we have seen the back of him...But in reality we never saw the front of him either - Ghost Councillor , Good Riddance, Maybe him and Malky Rifkind can set up shop together .
ReplyDeleteI lived in Stanley for 50 Years and i can say hand on Heart , who is he, never seen him, perhaps the security services are interested in his MO. He was less conspicuous than the invisible man . Ah Well - Farewell to all that ! Time for some real Councillors who actually live in the area and have some knowledge of local issues .
ReplyDeleteI saw him once, he was getting a Photo in Stanley Ward during the election . That was it. With his looks he's probably off on the international modelling circuit....NOT
ReplyDeleteRead.... the one who was kicked out of Earls Court...don't make me laugh .
ReplyDeletePhenomenal news! If ever the indefatigable Dame harbours doubts about her power and influence, ridding residents of Pooter is the finest example of her work to date. Congratulations your Ladyship. G*d bless you and all who sail with you.
ReplyDeleteNow's the time to be rid of Moylan.
ReplyDeleteIs this so he can spend more time with his developers. CapCo?
ReplyDeleteIt is inconceivable that Stanley Ward is considering ex Cllr Read as their shoe in for disgraced ex Leader Pooter Cockle. This guy is an opportunist. Last week he stood against Cllr Mills to become the new Chairman of the Conservative Association. The first job of the new Chairman is to oversee the totally unexpected and surprise appointment of a new Parliamentary candidate for Kensington, following the resignation of Sir Malcolm Rifkind. At the Association AGM all those present who intended to put their names forward as a replacement for Sir Malcolm were asked to absent themselves from the discussion of the election arrangements. Read was one of those who left the room - while still standing for Chairmanship of the Association!
ReplyDeleteIf Read had been elected Chairman he would have had to stand down immediately since he would have been conflicted by his decision to stand in parallel for Westminster. He did not have the decency and common sense to withdraw his bid to be Chairman. Sheer selfishness and hypocrisy.
Not a worthy person to represent the residents of Stanley
Read, Pascall, Warwick - your friendly neighbourhood councillors for Stanley Ward.
DeleteThe smelliest of armpit politics.
Stanley Ward and the Sutton campaigners deserve everything that is coming to them if they are stupid enough to add Read to the pointless Councillors Warwick and Pascal
ReplyDeleteI thought that Sir Merrick Cocckell had left years ago. He's done nothing for his constituents, and nothing for the borough. Resigning is the best thing he's ever done.
