The
Dame has heard the most bizarre of stories.Certain
senior Conservative councillors have been doing some 'thinking
outside the box'(yes, difficult to believe) in an effort to see how
they can encourage Pooter Cockell to 'move on'.
The
issue they have identified is money. Evidently Pooter, not having
made money in the private sector is extremely reluctant to be
dislodged from his £130,000 a year non performance related sinecure.
What
was the result of the brainstorming? Yes, you guessed it:
headhunters.

| Pooter Job Hunting |
Cllr F.
Buxton is one; and Oirish Ahern was married to one. Both have agreed to
submit Pooter's
cv to see if there any suitable jobs for a man of his 'talents and
experience.' One idea floated was that his West African fag
selling experience might be useful to former 'bad boy' resident, Ely Calil.
Evidently they are not unknown to each other and a lucrative 'roving
ambassadorial role' for the Calil empire could be on the cards.
So
readers, if that one does not play out, what ideas do you have so
Pooter can slip into the private sunset? And no...Cllr Palmer, he
does not need your career advisory service...
how about working as an assistant to Boys Moylan?
ReplyDeleteIf Cllr Buxton has agreed to take on this job that is extremely encouraging news
ReplyDeleteAfter a night of heavy Jubilee imbibing, I awoke this morning to the Radio 4 headline "Mubarak sentenced to life imprisonment"
ReplyDeleteFor a moment my heart leapt for joy but then I realised that it was not Pooter Mubarak but the other one.
Oh well....
There is a long tradition in Britain of moving seniors into sinecures in their twilight years. Out of harms way and to solve a problem of people promoted beyond their ability.
ReplyDeleteCllr Cockell is still a little young for such a move, but needs must. Something like Chairman of the National Trust, with a grace and favour residence, might take him out of harms way.
How about a funeral director. He looks the part.
ReplyDeleteHe's actually be a success as a Prison Governor somewhere in Syria/Libya/Middle East - he really would be good at it
ReplyDeleteHe's enjoy being a funeral director and may become over-enthusiastic, I wouldn't let him do that. He'd be a good Police person in Dubai
ReplyDeleteSend him to Japanese Islands, he could gag the earthquakes quite effectively maybe, he'd certainly try
ReplyDeleteNational Trust? Heavens forfend! We need to keep some land and protect some history - he'd be an outcast in the west country, his fumes have reached the nostrils of the real gentry, they are displeased
ReplyDeleteCan we have some really serious thought here please. Finding the old has been a job is no laughing matter. It is the only way that we can get him out of the Leaders Penthouse.
ReplyDeleteI will donate a bottle of Cristal to the person who actually finds the old boy a job.
ReplyDeleteCouncillor Up Yours.
Could someone please let us know... something...anything that he is good at?
ReplyDeleteYes, 15:39 sponging off taxpayers
ReplyDeleteWho can write a CV for him? He is incapable of putting pen to paper.
ReplyDeleteI understand that Pooter would go to parties at Calil's home.
ReplyDeleteAs is so wisely said....'one is judged by the company you keep.'
Calil is a dangerous man to cross....
