ALL DRESSED UP BUT NOWHERE TO GO?

1. When the Dame reads a comment from 'Person Familiar 
   
   with The Situation' she drops everything and rushes to 
   
   find her tortoiseshell lorgnette. 
   
   Who is this secret admirer of the Dame? He/she seems  
   
   bien branche( the Dame has an English language 
   
   typewriter) with the affairs of our very Rotten Borough?  
   
   Anyway, rarely is PFWTS wrong so we had better be 
   
   fearful......
   
   Here is an artist's impression of Br'um Boy with The 
   
   Queen.... 
   
   His great friend, Buffy Buckmaster, is tutoring him in
   
   matters of etiquette....

   "The ball is in play and the situation is very 
   
   unstable. Cllr Cockell wants to hang on to his SRA as Leader of K&C 
   
   but is finding that he has less and less time (and diary clashes) 
   
   because of his main job at the Local Government Association. He is 
   
   hoping for a second chance at the House of Lords and is using his 
   
   friends to lobby David Cameron - elevation would ease a loss of 
   
   earnings from K&C and provide the status and pomp that he yearns 
   
   for. For the time being he needs to keep his options open and does 
   
   not want the boat to rock before May 2013 when he needs to commit 
   
   for another year in Hornton Street. Cockell realises that Cllr Moylan is 
   
   the wild card. Unhappy and marginalised at the GLA, Moylan is 
   
   starting to feel that he needs to find new pastures. And he is quite 
   
   capable of a unilateral challenge to Cockell for the Leadership of K&C, 
   
   something that he did before losing by only a single vote. And that was 
   
   the Chairman's casting vote. Cockell understands the threat and has 
   
   offered Moylan the position of Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea in 
   
   2013. This would remove the threat for one more year. It is not known 
   
   if Cllr Moylan has accepted the offer"

   Once again democracy and the interests of voters is subordinated to the personal machinations of K&C politicians. This blatant horse trading should be stopped. It is time for an intervention by ex MP and Ward Chairman, Mathew Carrington, Chairman of Kensington, Chelsea and Fulham Conservatives. Mathew is a person of integrity and this kind of thing should not be happening on his watch
