The
Dame is recipient of many strange rumours-but none more so than
this......
The source was a highly placed Rotten Borough officer-and one without a sense of humour thus we can be sure he was not playing some cruel practical joke upon La Dame.
It
truly is one of the bizarrest of stories and one that the Dame is
anxious to 'put some legs on.'
Here
goes....It would seem Pooter has promised he will step down at
the end of the year having enjoyed the opportunity afforded to hobnob
with “The Royalty”..... as he so charmingly puts it-and 'press
the flesh' with the various “high ups” in the Olympics industry.
He believes that with the contacts he has made, plus his peerage, he
will get some lucrative non exec directorships.
So
with the going of Pooter there is some concerted
jockeying to grab this lucrative £70,000 a year sinecure.
......to cut to the chase.... the Dame's officer friend tells her that there is
a 'dark horse' candidate quietly and persuasively pitching for the
job.
You could have knocked the Dame down with one of her boa
feathers when she heard that this 'dark horse' was none other than
Cllr Matthew Palmer!

| PALMER TO BE NEXT LEADER!!! |
Palmer
has been telling people that he will be a conciliating force in a
council which has lost it's way and is riven with jealously and
intrigue. He also tells those dumbstruck enough to listen that his
candidature has the blessing of none other than Pooter himself. The
Dame suspects that Cllr Palmer may
end up rather more of a 'stalking horse' than a 'dark horse' and we all know what happens to stalking horses....
La Dame you are having your leg pulled....Matthew is as mad as a cut snake
ReplyDeleteThatcher was a stalking horse !
DeleteDame. Palmer is deluded but not that deluded. Your lovely leg is being pulled.
ReplyDeletePalmer for leader - the man who made it his business to find out who was leaking from the Conservative group to the Hornet. And found them!
ReplyDeleteThe man who knocked out three sitting labour councillors
The man who got re-elected (unlike his two conservative collegues).
The man who beat the london wide trend in the local elections and has done every time he has stood.
The man who has a regular newsletter listing LIES the labour party tell.
The man the Labour party hate.
Seems a good idea he became the leader of K&C please write to
cllr.palmer@rbkc.gov.uk to pledge your support
This has got to have come from the lunatic: his grammar is the giveaway....watch out Ahern and Coleridge....Palmer is on your case
DeleteOne of many problems - Palmer ain't going to get back. Thank God!
DeleteThis has to be a joke. A very bad joke
ReplyDeleteVery unklike the Dame to be taken in like this. Has she been drinking again???
ReplyDeleteCllr Tony Holt is Stalking Horse material. A finely dressed gent with a nice turn of phrase and not an enemy in the world. Courtfield Ward would be proud of him - the first sign of activity in his long and imperceptible career
ReplyDeleteWell, quite frankly, given the field of candidates available, we might as well have Palmer as any of the others. After all, he's a great speech-maker, and writes his own stuff, unlike Pooter.
ReplyDeleteHot Desk has a point in an off-beat way. Cockell has been the most useless leader in the history of K&C, but from time to time someone writes an acceptable speech for him. No one would write Palmer's speeches for him, they are so pointless and unpleasant. If Palmer was appointed leader of the Conservative Group it would power Labour to victory and we would get EDC as leader of the Council.
ReplyDelete80.32, if there was ever a good argumnt for supporting Cllr Palmer, you have it. the prospect of that ghastly woman Dent-Toad as leader of the council will have people voting in droves for Palmer.
ReplyDeleteVote Palmer, the only man big enough to stand up to labour!
The only man? to ensure a Labour victory. Vote Palmer for Labour.
DeleteUp Yours why not admit to your identity? We know you are none other than Palmer. How do we know? Lower case l for labour and referring to EDC as Dent Toad-the sort of puerile humour that so defines you. Even your Conservative colleagues are ri=olling around in aisles at the prospect of you as Leader
DeleteSorry Dame. Isn't Up Yours another name for Mr Australian Phone Call?
ReplyDeleteVote Palmer for Labour! Priceless!
ReplyDeleteYes, Palmer is Mr Australian Phone Call, allegedly Mr 'Illegal Hacker', Mr Bungles, Mr 'why is that man in your office Daddy'/the Members' Room is MINE, Mr 'BackBenchers check their shares online during Council meetings', Mr 'Be Rude to Officers they are plebs'.
That's your man.
Hahaha brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYou are all so scared now that all you can think of is making up stupid names. This labour blog is a constant source of hilarity. Just more proff to me that cllr Palmer is the man of the hour.
The tide is turning, plebs.
Well the hour has come and gone. The Lord be praised.
DeleteI think Matthew you mean proof not proff. Oh and Labour is upper case
ReplyDeleteThe one thing you can be fairly sure of is that whoever succeeds Pooter will have his blessing, it's just the way RBKC works. Think of Honnecker and Krenz. I can remember when Pooter was putting the knife in Joan all those years ago, she could see it was happening but was too much of a lady to do anything about it (even if she had more integrity in her little finger than he has in his puffed up self) but in the end, for the sake of unity, which there must always be (even when child porn is posted on line), she gave him her blessing.
