Meanwhile every time a local sees it, he will remember that for decades RBKC has been run by a self-serving clique. It is high time for change; but this requires residents to vote for "A.N Other" rather than younger versions of grovelling <br />"Clone Tory Boy." <br /> <br />Congratulations to Cllr Dent Coad for drawing attention to RBKC's latest cynical exercise in cutting services to the vulnerable. Every service cut not only deprives those in need, but puts officers and others out of work. This creates yet more unemployment, so yet more need for now non-existent public services.Gnatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-24179535559005759432012-02-02T09:38:02.613+00:002012-02-02T09:38:02.613+00:00Pity that the Lib Dems are using rubbish counsello...Pity that the Lib Dems are using rubbish counsellor candidates too. <br /><br />They make no difference to the democratic deficit in Hornton StreetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-36584110477742585582012-02-02T09:36:41.902+00:002012-02-02T09:36:41.902+00:00For the first time in living memory we have a coun...For the first time in living memory we have a councillor, Cllr Dent Coad, who is capable of showing it like it is.
