Super rich.....
Should a councillor worth several million take a huge allowance for a part-time job? That is the question Elizabeth Campbell should be self-addressing.
Another question... should someone so intimately involved in Grenfell be leader?
Homing in on Campbell...when Nick Paget-Brown resigned savvy councillors decided to steer well clear of a perceived 'poisoned chalice'...not Campbell, however.
Rushing back from some Caribbean sailing jaunt she gleefully threw her hat into the ring and fished the £70,000 plus a year part-time job before hooking another £12k a year from London Councils.
Who said there's no money in local government!
Campbell is so ineffectual she's a marionette in the hands of powerful officers: that is not how a leader should lead.
Elizabeth Campbell is stinking rich...nothing wrong with that. The Dame has a very common and vulgar attachment to money.
But the Dame is not the leader of a cash-strapped council.
If Cllr Campbell had an ounce of sensitivity she would give up her vast £1500 a week allowance or at least slash it by half.
Shades of Cockell and Moylan and their fantastic ability live off council tax
ReplyDeleteNow don't forget Emma Dent Coad claimed her stipend from the Council for representing Golborners when she was already being paid as an MP to represent the very same people in Golborne Ward. Money for old rope, I hear you say, getting paid twice over for doing one job. What was worse she said she would never do that because she was such a fine paragon of virtue.
DeleteYou are just jealous. I bet you would like the chance to get your snout into the same trough. Well done to Cllr Campbell: she saw an opportunity to enrich herself and grabbed it. It's called free enterprise
ReplyDeleteIf that is the case then well done to EDC as well! I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. Moylan on the other hand does not deserve to be paid by the taxpayer. He should be banished from the lords forever
DeleteDent Coad did precisely that. She did not credit a virtuous Hornet checking the Parliamentary Register of Members' Interests and reporting her to the Dame.
DeleteDizzy is an opportunist with very little self awareness.She got bored with her Cabinet job and took a one year sabbatical to sail in America. After a few weeks of self imposed idleness Grenfell happened, Paget-Brown quit as Tory Leader and dizzy rushed back to seize the crown. Totally unprepared for the job and totally incompetent.
DeleteAS SOON AS SHE WAS ELECTED DIZZY WAS ON AN ADRENALIN DRIVEN SELF PROMOTION RUSH. SHE CHARGED INTO THE BBC RADIO STUDIOS TO BECOME FAMOUS BUT THE REPORTER SAW HER COMING. HE SOON ESTABLISHED THAT THE EX CABINET MEMBER FOR FAMILIES HAD NEVER VISITED A COUNCIL HOUSE OR TOWER BLOCK BUT HAD TAKEN OVER THE GRENFELL RECOVERY!
DeleteHow could she keep her job as a councillor while on a long holiday in America? Councillors don’t get paid time off like that
DeleteScroungers the lot of them.
ReplyDeleteThese Councillors are the very same people who condemn those who fiddle the Social when they are starving.
ReplyDeleteMoney is not the central issue. The job of Leaders is to set the tone and persuade by example and "leadership" the other Councillors and the Officers to behave in the desired way. Readers should how well Cllr Campbell is performing.
ReplyDeleteThere is no "tone" in Hornton Street because dizzy is focused on her own self advancement. She views the job as a stepping stone to the House of Lords. She does not give a fig about residents or the Conservative Party.
DeleteCouncil Leaders in the middle of a crisis need to understand how to handle PR. And if they are inexperienced then they need to surround themselves with the best advice possible. And leaders need loads of political common sense. One of the first things that Cllr Campbell did after she was elected as Leader was puff herself up and summon Grenell survivors to an open meeting in ST Saviour church in North Kensington. She and her ridiculous Town Clerk, Dr Quirk, placed themselves in an authority position behind a long, large table and talked down at the residents. Setting the tone for the whole administration. The bird brain is still in denial - don't listen to angry me, go and talk with the hundreds and hundreds of Grenfell survivors in North Kensington
DeleteJournos can spot a fraud from a mile away. The radio 4 reporter figured dizzy out in a nano second And he crucified the prat. Silly cow
DeleteWhat a prat this woman is
ReplyDeleteShe carries on her self promotion regardless of her civic duty. Dad made money in Kong Kong and sent the sprog to a private school in England. She got ideas above her station and married a penniless Naval Officer - her first step towards "respectability". Dad was delighted and the cash flowed to build the image. First the country house, then the Chelsea house, then the ski chalet next to disgraced Prince Andrew. And now the main chance, courtesy of RBKC, to parachute into the House of Lords.
DeleteWhat a nauseating story from the Sick Bag
DeleteWe are lucky that Keir Starmer has now committed to a proper reform of the Upper House - which will mean that the days of the Booby 'Lord Moylan' are limited & third rate Dizzy has no chance of making it to the Lords
ReplyDeleteWhen will the Tories get rid of Cllr Campbell? Answers on a postcard please.......
ReplyDeleteWhen the Tories decide to vote for a new Leader in RBKC they may like to consider the words of one of my mentors:
ReplyDeleteWhat about honesty and leadership?
People who trust a leader are more likely to cooperate and certainly, more likely to speak up.
And, they’ll go the extra mile for a leader they trust.
As much as it’s well-nigh-impossible to change the culture of an organisation, honesty can quickly change the working climate. The environment.
It’s easy to confuse power with influence. Honest people are always far more influential and from that comes consensual-power… where people accept the power of the boss, rather than putting up with it.
Honesty demands accountability. If leaders are honest, they have to be honest about everything. Faults and failings, as well as success.
Honestly improves credibility and credible leaders can do incredible things.
I hope that the Conservative Councillors read this advice
