Dear Dame,

I cannot believe the effrontery of the same Robert Black who had the cheek to announce just days after eighty people burned to death in Grenfell Tower that he was standing down from his position as TMO Chief Executive to devote his time to "assisting the Enquiry" in to the most dreadful social housing disaster in the history of this Country.
Why has Black changed the habit of a lifetime and personally concerned himself with assisting the Grenfell Tower Enquiry when he did not personally concern himself with any of the matters that I, and many others, brought to his personal attention?
Does the inadequate Robert Black think he can micromanage every issue regarding the TMO's failure to manage Grenfell Tower.
Does Robert Black, a former Art Student, think he has the skill to paint a glossy picture of the failing Organisation that he has run since 2009?
How can a former Art Student from Aberdeen possibly assist the very capable and brilliant former Lord Justice of Appeal in Ordinary?

Dear Dame,
ReplyDeleteYour correspondent is on the money. Black is being paid his excessive salary for "Assisting the Enquiry." Shame he did not assist the Grenfell Action Group.
@21.02 It shouldn't be allowed.
DeleteBlack is TOXIC, he will be retired/face charges? hopefully not pensioned off.
DeleteIt's all a piss take as usual.
DeleteHe's probably gone back home to bonny Scotland
DeleteOTHERS are still culpable and at large and perpetrating damage on behalf of KCTMO to innocent tenants and leaseholders - IGNORING RESIDENTS AND NOT DOING THE WORK THEY ARE EMPLOYED TO DO

@17:39 That's really useful, Thank you.
DeleteCllr Elizabeth Campbell, Leader of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, does not understand that she needs to fire Black. If he wants to sue for wrongful dismissal, let him.
ReplyDeleteThis worthless Leader of the Borough does not have the first clue about Leadership, politics and natural justice. She is a wally.
Holgate hasn't sued for unfair dismissal following the demand for his head from the Secretary of State. I wonder why Javid did not demand Black's head too.
DeleteHolgate is a decent man
DeleteSavid Javid thought the Council's relief effort for the Grenfell survivors was indecent and Holgate was out on his ear.
DeleteOn the Friday after the fire Robert Black entered the KCTMO hub and, with a smile on his ugly face, told the assembled KCTMO employees what a great job they were doing. This man is a cancer and needs to go to jail for a long long time.
ReplyDelete@ 21.17 How dare Black tell his staff that they are doing a "great job." I now know why they are all such a bunch of useless, but self assured, idiots.
DeleteSo Black praised the useless staff and the staff duly repeated their uselessness. LOL
Delete21.17. Black must be deluded.
ReplyDelete21.15. Why hasn't the MP demanded his sacking? She must like him.
EDC says all the wrong things. Why isn't Black lining up for the dole?
DeleteCould we organise a rent strike to force the Council to get rid of the TMO's Chief.
ReplyDeleteThere is already a rent holiday in operation. The cumulative bill for Council Tax payers is mounting up to a horrendous sum of money. Rent holiday; £200 million on new houses; £ millions service charges for the new luxury flats; hotel accommodation for victims; £ millions legal cost.
DeleteThere is also some doubt about buildings insurance. The Council went with a cheapy outfit that went bust to insure Grenfell. Spending priorities lay elsewhere eg £1 million per year for Holland Park Opera, £30 million to tart up Exhibition Road, £100 million to rebuild Holland Park School (including £100k Anthony Gormley sculpture). £50k per year for Arabic Exhibitions...... The list goes on and on.
Council Tax payers need to rise up and boot out the Tory imposters in the Town Hall who have lost sight of Conservative values.
@22:40 good idea!
Delete10.31 A rent strike is different to the rent holiday.
DeleteCouncillor Emma Dent Coad MP should support the rent strike because it is a splendid example of change being demanded from below and not imposed from above. If she is any sort of Socialist she should support the Rent Strike so that Robert Black can be shown the door.
I haven't paid my rent for about a month now so who wants to join?
DeleteHas Mr Black gone back home to Scotland?
ReplyDeleteIf so, he is "working from home" on £600k/year. Not bad if you can get it.
DeleteI have been informed his salary was £150,000 per annum plus final salary pension
DeleteStill a good number! Cant recall the last time I was paid £150k to stay at home
Deleteanon 11:23:: working?
ReplyDeletePoint taken Sad Badger. No one WORKS at the TMO. They do not know what WORK is
DeleteI can't wait to see him behind the bars for life. We'll have a big celebration then.
ReplyDeleteI expect Robert Black will now swiftly leave the TMO with a very healthy redundancy and pension package (paid for by tenants' rents and leaseholders' service charges). If he waits until the Council takes it over, he will just get the bog standard statutory redundancy payment. His big problem was that once he had hired his overpaid executive team, he just delegated everything to them to deal with and sat back to do very little. So he didn't really have the remotest idea what was going on.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Exec Team delegated everything down to the minions beneath them.
DeleteIt doesn't matter whether he resign or not now. The matter of the fact is that what is done is done and his-story of crime he committed will follow him around which he cannot escape from. We won't let it slip till he is jailed for life. This goes for Sasha Jevan, Yvonne Birch and many others.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't "stand down", he "stood aside". Still employed by the TMO.

Work avoidance, deliberate delay, ignoring and the bullying of residents is rife in this department.
19.50 "Work avoidance." Have you ever come across such a work shy lot as those at the TMO?
DeleteDo people think it would be good if I gave Robert Black a P45 at the AGM?
ReplyDeleteGood idea.
DeleteYes, give him a P45. I did laugh. They will now be doing a search of everyone there to make sure that no one has got a P45 on them.
DeleteI've heard that they are going to have security and dogs at the AGM to make sure that no one gets at the pups who are employed by the TMO.
DeleteOh No heck. We aren't into violence. We are only interested in effective measures like throwing criminals in jail.
DeleteP45 or even better a notice of judgment of life imprisonment should be handed to them.
Can't wait.
DeleteDoes anyone know a friendly wages' clerk who would supply me with some blank P45's so that I can write them out in time for the AGM?
Delete@17:28 Here. https://www.pdf-archive.com/2016/04/13/43063697/
Delete21.23 You're good to me.
DeleteIs it right to humiliate them by handing out P45s in public?
DeleteGiving a P45 has been done (Teresa May), lets not stoop to TMO level, only a serious, clever response should be voiced against the unacceptable incompetence of KCTMO not a JOKE fake P45, sorry.
DeleteWe need to be taken very seriously at every opportunity and anything like this may be reported badly in the press.
23.18. What rubbish! 80+ people dead and those responsible are still drawing their excessive salaries and building up their gold plated pensions. If any of them had a shred of decency they would have resigned but none of them have any shame. P45s should fly publicly at the AGM and even the press will see that tenants have had little choice but to act in this way given that our political elite at Westminster are determined to save staff at the TMO.
DeleteNo, the actions of those below doesn't have to better than the TMO.
I work at the TMO. The bosses won't go to the AGM. They know that shit happens at TMO AGM's. They will leave the AGM to Elaine, the new CEO.
DeleteIf they're not at the AGM, give the P45s to the Chair announcing,
Delete"Fay, I am giving you P45s for" adding the name of each person on the fake P45.
They will all be getting a P45 soon enough but symbolically it is important for tenants to say that they should have already got one.
P45s have an NI number on them suggest you use GT 80 80 80 +
yes, symbolically important. Let's get it in their subconscious mind.
DeleteLove the National Insurance Number GT 80 80 80 +
DeleteI think 23.18 is the sort of thing that a TMO worker would write or the sort of thing coming from the pen of useless politician.
"Resolution 5 calls to end the TMO. This could allow the council to hand over housing stock to any housing association.
ReplyDeleteSpecial resolution 6 is calling to allow RBKC to become the sole voting member. If this is passed, the members of the TMO (council tenants who have applied to be members), would lose their right to vote. Effectively removing the voice of the residents."

If you are based in the South of the borough, can you collect a few signatures for the petition before the AGM? For the petition form, please contact Gordon in the video. They are actively working in North Ken area.
Delete21.06 The Council was the "sole voting member" before tenant management. Public ownership of the housing stock in K&C resulted in 80 people burning to death. An ideological commitment to public ownership has not served anyone well. Be careful what you wish for.
Delete80 people were burned alive under Council ownership of the housing in K&C. Does the marxist model of housing work? 80 dead, I don't think so.
Deleteat LEAST 80 people died. In fact, we will never know. The heat has destroyed DNA. Where are those still assumed 'Missing'?
DeleteEx Marxist has got a point, you know. Council Housing in K&C was appalling when the Council managed it. The Director of Housing, Mr Kingsford, became Chief Executive and Company Secretary of KCTMO and nothing changed.
DeleteOHHHH, what then? Which devil are we to choose from? HA route or say yes to the resolution?! I want to scream..... Either way, it is bad but I think HA route is worse in the long run. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
DeleteAnyways, petition is the right way forward in the meanwhile? Because it will give us more time to plan?
I am proposing to set up an unofficial committee. Anyone who wants to get involved is welcome. Will speak to Gordon about this.
@10.47. Being shackled to the state for housing has not served anyone well in the history of Council housing in Kensington and Chelsea. In Local Government housing models, officers are supposed to be accountable to elected councillors in the discharging of their duties. In Kensington and Chelsea, this theoretical construct did not happen even when the Council ran the service in house. Prior to the creation of the TMO, the Tory Controlled Council had little interest in housing and abrogated all housing management responsibility to the Director, Mr Kingsford, a man who enjoyed his battles with tenants and who showed everyone who challenged his authority, (except his favourites Mr Beverley and Mrs Besant come to mind) who was boss.
DeleteFor the last twenty-one years, we have had the Tenant Management fiasco; a beast devised by Mr Kingsford. The Tenant Management Board did not devise policy in any sort of practical way it just rubber stamped the policy proposals of the TMO Executive. I am amazed that the intellectuals who served on that Board over the years even managed to do that. One former Board Member comes to mind for his involvement in the rubber stamping of policy. This man could not read or write and eventually went to prison for many years for child abuse.
The Tory Councillors loved the unaccountable TMO because they could wash their hands of housing management and abrogate all responsibility to TMO with its democratically elected Board that was accountable to no one. One former Board member told me that he believed in God but was not answerable to God for anything to do with the TMO. So power at the TMO was concentrated in the hands of a few Executives most of whom lacked talent.
In view of all this, I think it time to move away from socialist dogma about the housing management service being accountable to Councillors and to try the housing association model instead. We have had Labour Councillors on the TMO Board and their efforts have not improved much for those dependent on the service.
In theory Council housing should be wonderful but there is a massive tension between the theoretical construct of officers being accountable to Councillors and its implementation.
Set the tenants free.
RBKC is a special case, its about the huge value of small spaces which can be sold off for Millions. RBKC obviously do not want the burden of social housing or social residents, they want to decant elsewhere to create a one off super ROYAL borough, the evidence of this is everywhere.
