The Dame is rarely wracked by any of the Deadly Sins but envy did rear it's ugly head up when reading Cllr Dent Coad's stylish demolition job on Cockell.
It is informative, amusing and sad in equal measure.
And before any silly person starts declaiming that the Dame is being partisan...DON'T GO THERE
as our American cousins are irritatingly prone to say.
Anyone, can send in an interesting link to their community blog and the Dame will be happy to highlight it.
The Dame has made clear in the past that her vast wealth and social pretensions make it far more likely that she would vote Conservative. She attacks this Council because it has long forgotten Conservative values under the rule of Cockell. Instead we have seen a culture of greed and vulgar excess.
It is very sad.....
The Dame has singled out Cllr Dent Coad for praise because, like certain of her Conservative opposite numbers, she cares deeply for those she represents.

This is a devastating analysis and expose of the true north/south divide in this Borough. And it is quite unforgivable that the Tory councillors, whose actions since Joan Hanham ceased to be Council Leader have actually exacerbated the poverty in Golborne and the other northern wards in the Borough, are actually proud of what they have done and are doing up there. It beggars belief.
ReplyDeleteMany who work for the Council are just disgusted with the attitude of certain Councillors to North Kensington.
ReplyDeleteThey forget that officers may live there and are very proud and protective of the area they come from.
For those who do not follow Cllr Dent Coad:

This devastating stuff for the majority (Conservative) Party
ReplyDeleteCockell has done himself well to keep the truth under wraps
I assume Dame, you speak of Cllrs like

Anyone who attended the last Council meeting will have been left in no doubt that any form of dissent, let alone criticism, from any Councillor, whatever their party affiliation, is not to be tolerated by the "single-party state" currently in effect.
ReplyDeleteIn such an environment Councillors must take a stand. They must point out the emperor's distinct lack of clothing when it is clearly absent. Cllr. Dent Coad should be congratulated for not only not turning a blind eye to the plight of some of her residents but actively going out of her way to point it out to those looking the other way in Hornton Street, however much they may not like it.
Which is exactly what the opposition is for. It's a pity the current administration have forgotten how democracies are supposed to operate.
Senior Tories are disgusted with the Labour Group. Under Blakeman and Dent Coad they are becoming an opposition to be reckoned with, unlike when Labour was led by the poodle Cunningham. Cockell is now so scared that he is trying to stop Dent Coad becoming chairman of the Cabinet scrutiny committee.
ReplyDeleteHow very foolish of Cockell. Cllr Dent Coad is a hard-working and conscientious committee member and ready to take on more responsibility.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, letting her take on the chairmanship might keep her eye off other things the leadership don't want her prying into.
My new best friend Jonothan and I are doing our very best to make sure Dent Toad does not get this chairmanship.

ReplyDeleteCllr Palmer dragging Cllr read into your seedy little plan is symptomatic of the corruption endemic within your group. You would be ashamed of yourself had you any sense of shame. But, of course, you don't...like you Leader who I heard had banned you commenting on the Dame
