Every day the Dame receives scores of complaints about councillors who do not listen to residents.
One such is below: it has the hallmark of Danny Boys Moylan.
The Dame has a deep, old fashioned suspicion of bow tie wearing types, but let's leave her snobbish prejudices to one side and focus on practicalities.
If you are not happy with your councillor then work towards booting him or her out.
Or, if you can't do that, go and help those willing to do so.
The Chelsea Independents intend to oust the Stanley ward councillors.
If successful it will send a message to the leadership that residents will no longer be trodden underfoot....
They need your help, so here is your chance to be part of the solution.
Oh, and for Cllr Palmer....the link to the past piece on Jonathan Frazer-Howells and his ex partner you asked for...very salacious!
"Not sure as I was not at the meeting, but the man in the bow tie sounds like our own Cncllr. Moylan. He once stood up as our AGM meeting where we asked for more trash bins to be peppered around the neighbourhood (as trash is strewn increasingly in the gutters and dog owners have no where to dispose of their litter) and declared in supercilious tones that he couldn’t bear them and had had 2 removed which could be seen from his office window. He said ‘trash cans attract trash.’ With this he refused any further discussion of the subject. As a result, we pick up litter regularly from our front gardens.
Vintage Moylan
ReplyDeleteThe Stanley Ward challengers need to fight an election on more than dustbins. Otherwise "trash cans attracting trash" will become a self fulfilling prophesy. The fun and excitement is over - the three candidates had their rush of adrenalin, got their papers in, and got their moment of glory in the Kenisngton and Chelsea Chronicle. Now they need to put an election machine together. Figure out a manifesto. And hit the streets.
ReplyDeleteTory Agent Jonathan Fraser-Howells is currently feeling very relaxed. Nothing to lose sleep about. Three buffoons doing their Screaming Lord Sutch impersonation. Anticipate 87 votes between the three of them
DeletePalmer...the only buffoon on the council is you. From what I hear the councillors themselves are less than relaxed. On the subject of Fraser-Howells....is his ex lover and partner been released from prison? What is not large scale theft?
DeletePalmer....may I refer you back to my little blog....
DeleteIt has a link to some my past witterings about the agent's ex partner.
I don't suppose he was all that relaxed when all that was going on...
Nice company to keep!
Perhaps the Dame missed Moylan on BBC 1 this morning. His megalomania has reached a level appropriate to his magnificence. Some years ago his path to glory began with the removal of any trash cans, traffic lights and safety railings he could get his hands on. He swiftly moved on to beautify Ken High Street. His attempts to enhance Sloane Sq were stymied by the jealous. Thankfully Exhibitionist Road was completed, as a monument to his genius. Despite this triumph his great Olympic legacy was again snatched from him by the mean minded - mysteriously after just two weeks.
ReplyDeleteToday he finally achieved his apotheosis by announcing that Heathrow Airport will be shut down and half the residents of outer west London removed to the Thames Estuary in order to service Moylan International Airport.
We must be brave. One day even he will be translated into a heaven of his own devising, where the gods of Olympus will compete for the right to serve him. His passing will leave us mere mortals bereft. Then our sole consolation will be a new religion to worship his precious memory.
Brilliant response 16.48! You have him to a t. He really is getting more pompous every time he appears on tv, he will surely burst one day!
DeleteLets see the width of their cloth
ReplyDeleteI think it was todays Politics Show on BBC 2, but otherwise absolutely right.
ReplyDeletestaff are also upset by Councillors and the terrible things that are happening with the bi- borough process
ReplyDeleteBi-borough officers act like the Stasi, with K and C officers forbidden to discuss issues with K and C councillors, without obtaining prior permission. Recently a secret policeman even phoned a member of the public at home, berating him for contacting K and C councillors. When will NPG send H and F packing?
ReplyDeleteI thought H&F called on K&C to help their poorly performing borough, but have ended up with their officers in control and lower standards
Deletelook at the havoc in Lyn Carpenter's and Nigel Palace's (both H&F) departments, they are ripping apart all that was good about RBKC. RBKC staff lose their jobs whilst new staff are recruited at H&F. Despicable.
DeleteIt's party politically inspired collusion for the purposes of social cleansing. The current H & F tories are dishing out scores of planning permissions.They intend to be rid of lower income residents, replacing them with the rich. This will create a built in tory majority in H & F, as we have in K & C.
ReplyDeleteThe plan goes further. Yesterday Cllr Puddifoot, tory Leader of Hillingdon Council, appeared on tv to support Moylan's latest mad, messianic scheme to ship hundreds of thousands of Hillingdon residents out to the Estuary. Heathrow will then become safe for the tories. It's Lady Porter with bells on.
Returning to K & C, regardless of party politics one can only pray for a Labour victory in H & F next month. Labour and N Paget Brown must then agree an amicable divorce, before H & F totally ruins K & C.
Dame surely, rather than Lady Porter, either way an utter disgrace.
