My Dear Dame,
We know that you don't like to criticise either Mrs. Borwick or Mrs. Dent Coad....but....
Has EDC left her senses?
I received a telephone call from my cousin in America to say that their newspapers are full of attacks on the Royal Family by the MP for Kensington. He wanted to know what is going on. I asked my secretary to do a media search and found many articles such as the Mirror piece below
Now we know that the Royals are a bunch of freeloaders. None more so than the young Princes living in our own Kensington Palace. All of them should be bundled off to Windsor and take a low profile. But it is not on for the Member of Parliament of the Royal Borough to criticise the Royal family in public. These things must be done privately.
Power has clearly gone to Ms Coade’s head and she needs to be reined in. We do not want the whole tone of Kensington brought down by a fish wife shouting what we privately think. She must understand the need for decorum and restraint. Please have a quiet word with the MP use your best efforts to restore our community to some semblance of respectability.
With all good wishes
Your loyal reader

Instead of piggybacking on the back of the Grenfell disaster for her own profile raising she should remember she represents ALL the constituency
ReplyDeleteWhat a bit like elephant killer Borwick.
DeleteAnd 'social cleanser ' Tim Coleridge .
Deleteand Hoarding Money from the Poor - Warwick Lightfoot.
DeleteAnd 'Burner' of the poor - Fielding Mellon
Deleteand ' i listen but i don't hear ' Mary Weale .

DeleteKensington and Chelsea council has voted to terminate its contract with the Terrible Mismanagement Organisation.
Deletehttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/sep/27/grenfell-tower-council-terminate-contract-property-managers
So how do we want our homes to be managed? Now is the time to start demanding what we weren't provided with.
1) Proper fire safety
2) Repairs on time
3).....many to follow
Prince Harry is s good lad and this is EDC shooting herself in the foot. This is quite off-putting, looks like EDC getting a bit above herself, she has had strong support even from Conservative voters in the borough. She is going down a dangerous path here and should get on with issues in Kensington.
ReplyDeleteWe want action not words!
Agreed . The Conservative administration should stand down and let Government advisors step in .
Delete@15:09 Don't be fooled by media spin about Harry's persona. Not saying he's a bad lad or anything. He can pretend to be on our level but he is a royal after all.
Deleteanon 23:31: He will always be a Royal, but much nicer one than for example those from Cornwall.
DeleteThanks to Diana who was sacrificed.
DeleteI have some sympathy with Emma Dent Coad's desire to see an end to the constitutional monarchy in this Country. However, she has done an injustice to a legitimate cause by making personal, untrue and sneering remarks about Prince Harry's abilities as a pilot. Prince Harry is a fully qualified fighter pilot and he did not as Emma suggested sit in the cockpit during a military conflict going "vroom, vroom."
ReplyDeleteEmma also made the claim that neither Prince Harry or Prince William were very bright. Well, I could say the same thing about some members of the Parliamentary Labour Party but it is better to criticise what someone does or says instead of throwing personal insults in to the situation. Let the facts speak for themselves, Emma, and avoid the embellishments.
450 Million Buck House - Can't find 5k for Grenfell Cladding .
Delete15.42 I agree
DeleteI think EDC got William and Harry mixed up. Hazzer is a genuine pilot, after all he had to stop mid interview once to go on an operation.
DeleteThough big fan of EDC think this was silly thing to do. If she wanted to make a point what about Planning Depts' decision on mega basement at KP.
Thought we lived in a democracy with free speech . Not some kind of Feudal Estate, where the media and press are controlled .
ReplyDeleteI am all for free speech but that does not extend to telling lies about someone's qualifications as a pilot. Freedom of Speech is a basic human right and it is, of course, legitimate to express a sincerely held opinion. Emma went beyond doing this when she embarked on a flight of fancy suggesting that Prince Harry sat in the cockpit going "vroom, vroom" instead of flying the helicopter. My late partner was a pilot for thirty five years, in both military and civil aviation, and I can assure you the work requires considerable aptitude.
DeleteI doubt that Emma Dent Coad MP is privy to any IQ testing of Prince Harry or Prince William. She may sincerely believe that they are not very bright but without evidence her view is an opinion and, in this context is nothing more than a rant to rally the socialist faithful.
What are Harry's qualifications as a pilot ?
DeleteAre you googling furiously lol.
Delete16.22 and 16.28.
DeleteNo, I am not googling furiously to establish Prince Harry's qualifications as a military, fighter, pilot. Suffice it to say the British Military does not allow unqualified people to fly aircraft or use the weapons installed in them unless they qualify as a pilot (often referred to as "passing out") and are competent in the Rules of War.
My late partner qualified as a Fighter Pilot a long time ago. I should be happy to show you his logs books with all of the processes that the went through fully documented. The training, leading to qualification, took two years with a rigorous revalidation process every year after that. I imagine that the requirements nowadays are probably more robust because aircraft instrumentation and technology is more complex.
Just face it, Emma took the piss and has shown how ignorant she is.
Free speech indeed but what are Dent Coad's aids doing? Yes men probably. With Harry at Invictus games supporting severerly disabled ex servicemen it makes her look insensitive. Own goal!
DeleteEvening Standard and Daily Mail capitalising on it.
Maybe she should offer Harry to come round hers for a cuppa.
@15:41 If you still think that we live in a democratic society...you need to wake up. They certainly tell you so and pretend that we have....far from the truth. See what happened to Odeon, Earl's Court, Grenfell.....
Delete18.59 Good luck to Harry doing Invictus. Good Cause. EDC too busy supporting Grenfell victims. I'm sure Harry would concur ,
DeleteEDC is demonstrating her ability to get noticed. Strident support for the Nottinghill Carnival "it is safe on my watch", and now an outburst against the Royals.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to pick her outbursts carefully. The voting public are sensitive about the Royals which does not sit well with a 20 majority. Kensington is light years away form the streets of Belfast.
Whats Belfast got to do with anything ?
DeleteNice to have another point of view - Isn't that democracy .
Delete15.46 No it's not. It is democratic to express the view to change the constitutional but distorting the truth is not one expects from a socialist.
DeleteReally and Boris Johnson never distorts the truth - what was it £350 m a week for the NHS -
DeleteOr Theresa May - all Grenfell survivors will be rehomed in three weeks..
Deleteand the energy Cap.
Delete£350 million for NHS is getting old hat. Johnson still a snake though
DeleteHe did bang on about it himself last week or the week before .
DeletePeople are now seeing the sort of behaviour that led to the Labour group in RBKC removing EDC as group leader after only a year. When she gets a bit of power it goes to her head, and she rushes into nasty personal attacks on people who have done nothing to provoke her (such as Prince Harry and the judge leading the Grenfell inquiry).
ReplyDeleteWell she's probably just speaking up for some of her constituents .
Delete16.02. That's why they sacked her alright.
DeleteNo The Constituents voted her in as MP - Where have you been - next thing you'll be askin about the fire..
DeleteAnd Moore Bicke is the wrong man for the enquiry . Not really his fault as Terrible Theresa kept the perameters of the enquiry so narrow as to make it another 'Hillsborough' .No hope of any real justice or prosecutions .
ReplyDeleteWell many don't want him as he is the wrong colour , wrong class and has not lived in a tower block.
DeleteBut he is not responsible for prosecutions that is for the police to investigate and the CPS to decide.
Whats colour got to do with anything ?
DeleteThe judge appears far older than his years, because he's a judge. A lifetime of study and anonymity make him so. It's what judges have to do, so when they decide a case, no one can claim they are biased. They cannot switch off the habits of a lifetime to seem like the rest of us, because they're not.
DeleteThe limited scope of the public enquiry is due to the urgent need to rewrite the building and fire regs. If the enquiry also addresses decades of RBKC social housing/cleansing/KCTMO etc, taking evidence alone will take 5 years, plus 2 or 3 more to report. By then the building industry will have lobbied its way out of rigorous new regulation.
EDC's duty is to support the Grenfell victims and encourage all those concerned to give evidence to the enquiry. Instead, she whips up fake class war by criticising chandeliers and the royal family. She comes across as a lunatic. So EDC is the Tories' best hope. In due course otherwise uninterested residents will vote simply to be rid of her.
I have to say I am appalled by Ms Dent Coads behaviour, as an MP she has seemed to concentrate on one part of the borough she represents and is backing up some North South divide theory by doing so . But her latest actions are very worrying, she is entitled to her opinions if she is a republican just fine but maybe she should have declared that in her campaign.
ReplyDeleteWhat she said in her speech was not republican it was downright nasty such as
declaring 'I am the royal family’s worst nightmare'
calling Prince Philip a cheat
Criticising the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for buying an expensive jumper , does the lady know that in her constituency there are shops that sell expensive items, does she want them all gone
She also told a blatant lie just to make her self look good and republican
she said
“Harry can’t actually fly a helicopter... He tried to pass the helicopter exam about four times and he couldn't get through it at all so he always goes for the co-pilot.
“So he just sits there going ‘vroom vroom’.”
A blatant lie and one which she should apologise for
She does not think the BBC should cover royal events
Dent Coad said: “The BBC should be ashamed of themselves for their absolutely untrammeled, sickeningly gratuitous coverage of anything royal.
“It also makes me feel very, very ill. It’s also our money paying for that. Why are they using it as a propaganda machine? I think it is an utter disgrace.
She forgets how much money was made by the last Royal Wedding and how many charities benefited as they asked for donations to charity instead of presents.
And when some of her audience called for the Royals to be executed by guillotine she said absolutely nothing. So not only a republican who refused to swear an oath to the Queen when taking office but does she condone murder ? she certainly did not state her audience were out of order for saying so
And as an MP surely Ms DC knows that she was factually totally incorrect, the Queen gets the Sovereign Grant a percentage of Crown estate profits to carry out her role the rest goes to the Treasury , William and Kate do not get tax payer funding as she claims they get security yes but that's all
A very disappointing display from an MP who announced there will be a declaration of the People’s Republic of North Kensington on Halloween, I think the lady has shown us who she represents and it is not all of the constituency.
Thats how we felt with Borwick , Rifkind and Cockell . Thats where you should direct your anger .
ReplyDeleteSo telling lies to look good and staying silent on calls for executions of Royals at a public meeting is all ok and justified as Borwick was useless.
DeleteNot really about royals is it . Stop deflecting . People are sick under the care of the Conservative administration and that's all you can pick up on . Go read a book on self development
DeleteSo you are happy having a liar as an MP ? Today she says she was only joking in her comments, the other day she told the BBC what she said about Harry was "absolute fact" .
DeleteThe lady concentrates on one area of the borough alone so I fail to see how she is any better than the last MP , her being Labour does not excuse her behaviour and her alienation of the majority of her constituents.
And the BBC is biased - look at Kuennsberg .
ReplyDeleteSo you feel the BBC should not cover Royal events
DeleteBBC do not cover Royal events after HRH fed up with the BBC agro so ITV get all the good stuff. With Purnell Cohen Mark Thompson have made the BBC a joke using it for their own ends.
DeleteJust saying Kuennsberg is biased thats all.
DeleteThe divisions laid down by the 40 years of Cruel Conservatism in RBKC . Anyway i don't think EDC would condone any kind of killing - she has seen enough at Grenfell.
ReplyDeleteThen rather than making herself look hip and trendy at a Republican meeting where she told blatant lies to look good maybe she should have remembered she is an elected official and when members of an audience she addresses call for executions she should point out such actions are both immoral and illegal. If it was a Muslim person who called for an execution and an MP stayed silent people would soon be up in arms.
DeleteOne can be a republican without being an idiot and using lies.
What are you on about trying to bring religion into this ?
DeletePlease note this blog, Emma. 33 comments in record time.
ReplyDeleteRoyalty is hot........
So is Grenfell ....
DeleteOne strong high profile Tory candidate....young, black and bright will have EDC scurrying for cover.
ReplyDeleteWho might this be? The young, black and bright PPC?
DeleteI love it. Are the Tories putting up a black person against Coad? The Labour Party for far too long thinks it is the sole arbiter of what is, and what is not, racist
DeleteErrr Whats Colour got to do with it ?
DeleteHow about some like Bim Afolami? A real super cool guy and unlike EDC really street
ReplyDeleteIf I am not mistaken, he is already spoken for
DeleteThe black guy from Eton. Kensington is rather tired of Etonians. No thank you.
DeleteDent Coad sent her kids to a prestigious, fee paying independent, or dare I say, public school. So much for her socialist principles. No ta.
Delete03.49 A Champagne socialist she is
DeleteEmma Dent Coad SHAME ON YOU.
ReplyDeleteWe see and hear your ANGER, DISAGREEMENTS and endless NEGATIVE PERSONAL statements, please stop.
WHY don't you try to make a positive difference. Are you not supposed to impartially SUPPORT residents, rather than PERSONALLY RIDICULE THEM.
The references in this article attributed to you are TOXIC.
Young people need support and not to be BASHED because of their birth right or as you put it "POSH".
Young people need not to be burnt just because they live in social housing .
DeleteDreadful woman who appears to forget her own lineage! It is very easy to pontificate from behind a keyboard and whilst standing in front of a bunch of leftwing loonies. Both Princes have worked in very difficult situations Afghanistan and recently with the Air Ambulance. Never mind the voluntary work they do publicly and privately. They both have a serious work ethic as does her Majesty. EDC has up to now been a very good blogger but that is easy to do from the sideline. She will soon have to be accountable for her current and past role as a Councillor who wasn't principled enough to stand up for the people of Grenfell during her TMO tenure.
ReplyDeleteSorry mate can't you lot understand what you are responsible for .. you lot kept telling us you are in charge. You sound like the crew on the titanic , just wrap up , it'll be ok, just taking on some ice for the G and Ts.
DeleteEmma Dent Coad MP needs to be political, not personal and nasty.
ReplyDeleteIt was a serious error of judgement for her, a Labour Councillor, to serve on the TMO Board when she had fair warning from the many, not the few that the TMO was corrupt and doing down working class tenants. Ironically,she professes to represent the very people that the TMO did down.
Serious error of Judgement was from Rock Fielding Mellon. 80 Deaths .What he did was nasty.
ReplyDeleteEDC has already acknowledged that the regulations may be at fault.
DeleteIt took her long time to acknowledge the legislation was the problem. I would like to think that by pointing this out to her, on this blog, and by explaining the doctrine of stare decisis that she learnt something because after that she modified what she said.
Delete22.52. I do not see how you and others on here can excuse Emma Dent Coad's nasty invective by bringing up Grenfell. Emma is perfectly entitled to oppose the monarchy but lying brings her down to the level of the worse workers at KCTMO.
ReplyDelete@01.32 She was popular and vitriolic when she was on the TMO
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but she achieved nothing for the victims of Grenfell.
DeleteSadly Emma is seriously damaging the local Labour Party. She clearly thinks she is just a one-term MP so she is not bothering to work hard in the constituency, dealing not just with North Kensington issues but other subjects that worry mainstream Tory voters throughout Kensington. She could have built up a strong following amongst those who lent her their vote in June. But this nonsense about the royal family, whatever one’s own views about them, is seriously destructive. She seems to be far too fond of being in the press and on television to worry about her constituents. Many people have complained that they have contacted her for assistance and have had no reply and she cannot keep using the Grenfell Fire as an excuse for not dealing with bread-and-butter constituency problems. I suspect that she will refuse to stand down from the council next year in the hope that she will get more of her momentum supporters elected where Tories currently hold the seats. Then she can return in triumph as the Labour leader in the council after she loses her parliamentary seat. Jeremy Corbyn really should be encouraging her to get her head down, do the work and ensure that she is re-elected as our MP. If he wants to be Prime Minister, holding this seat will be crucial. But at the moment, I am not sure if I can still lend her my vote.
ReplyDelete09.29. The Dent Coad woman needs to take stock. She has got someone managing the criticism that people level against her on this blog. She would do well to get rid of whoever it is who defends her on social media. Just have a look at this page and look at some of the feeble inanities that this person has put forward to protect the socialist but ever so saintly, Emma.
DeleteWe could, of course, just call her "goodness."
13.28.
Delete"Goodness" must get rid of the imbecile who defends her with such stupidity.
This story has gone international viral. I received an email from South Africa asking why my Member of Parliament is attacking the Royal family and saying bad thinks about the Duke of Ed.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Emma Dent Coad just wants a platform to indescriminately spout.
ReplyDeleteThis poses a serious danger and we want none of it, perhaps Emma Dent Coad would be better as an Independent.
stroooth. my dear human friends: the biggest ever number of responses... What I say: keep off the Royal patch Ms EDC
ReplyDeleteGreat article. I really enjoyed very much with this article. Really it is an amazing article I had ever read. Thank you so much for your amazing post and keep update like this excellent articles. Thanks you for sharing such a great blog with us. Expecting for your good luck.
ReplyDeleteOneDayTop has recently posted for HEALTH : Wisdom Teeth Pain Relief Treatment
^ SPAM.
DeleteEDC has demonstrated that she cannot handle power and responsibility. She is a flawed human being. She first of all failed as Leader of the Local Party and was thrown out by her colleagues. Now she has failed on the bigger stage as Member of Parliament for Kensington.
ReplyDeleteEDC was not "voted in" as the MP. The sitting MP was "voted out" by a combination of a strong Liberal campaign and the entitlement belief of the Kensington Tories which has poisoned K&C Conservatives over the last 40 years. EDC is in position by accident. Four recounts to detect a 20 vote advantage. Not even Durex would take the risk.
It is time for the Tories to restructure. A root and branch restructure. The Party Chairman, Cllr Mills, has a big job on her hands.
Absolutely. Time to recapture the seat.
Delete"The sitting MP was "voted out" by a combination of a strong Liberal campaign"...hardly! Labour and Conservative candidates got over 16k votes each and the Lib Dem got under 5k.
DeleteShows you what damage Clegg and Cable did to the party for in 2010 LibDems got 10k votes
DeleteRecpature the seat? Tory party do not deserve our loyalty until they listen to residents
DeleteFlaws mainly appear to be; prejudice, vengeance and anger, which do not make for a good leader of anything.
DeleteVB lost the seat because she was a "gung-ho" Brexiteer in a 69% Remain constituency, the second highest in the UK. It's that simple. The problem is that EDC is still worse. She's oblivious to her duty to her constituents; not all of whom are rabid Trots.
ReplyDeleteConservatives 18,000 down to 16,000 (lost 2,000 remainders)
ReplyDeleteilLib-antiDem 2,000 up to 4,000 (gained 2,000 remainders)
Labour 10,000 up to 16,000
WHERE DID THE 6,000 NEW PEOPLE SUDDENLY COME FROM ???
Is this a case of DEFAMATION Buck House might take up against the disgraceful Emma Dent Coad?
ReplyDeleteTo the Tower with the witch and off with her head.
DeleteEmma Dent Coad - could she be Jealousy personified?
ReplyDeleteDid she really say "I am the Royal Family's worst nightmare"? I don't think she is.
ReplyDeleteWhat is shocking is that having been called out over her lies she puts out a statement saying we need to re-focus on Grenfell. It was she who distracted us all from the tragedy by her idiocy and then has the immorality to use Grenfell to turn people away from her huge error of judgment
ReplyDelete@08.26 When you are losing an argument widen it. The TMO on which she served for four years were past masters at doing that. She probably learnt that tactic there.
DeleteYour right, she told lies and then tries to obfuscate by bringing up Grenfell.
She hates people just because they are Tory. When she was on the TMO, she was personal about people and took a dislike to them just because they were Tory. I never understood why she got on so well with Maighread Condon Simmonds but she did once bitch to me about what she was wearing.
DeleteEmma Dent Coad should resign, is there a petition yet?
ReplyDeleteAll of the comments stated above indicate Emma Dent Coad is not professional and brings her office and RBKC into disrepute.
ReplyDeleteDon't think so sausage.
DeleteOne does NOT have to be a 'professional' to be Politician, MP or a Councillor. In fact, they do not have to be very bright either. Average plodders, actually.
DeleteHear, hear. One does not have to be bright to be an MP or Councillor. It was stupid of her to go on the TMO Board for four years when she knew what it was really like.
DeleteI went to school with Emma Dent. She was no different then.
ReplyDeleteMs Dent Coad said that Harry and William are “not very bright”, adding: “Just let them drift away, be playboys or whatever.” She also ridiculed the 96-year-old Duke of Edinburgh and accused him of having affairs.
ReplyDeleteWilliam and Kate's local MP wants to abolish the monarchy - but insists she's not calling for 'revolution'
The MP said: “The Queen might want to step back when her (cough, cough) soulmate is gone.”
She added in an aside: “He’s been quite unfaithful for quite a few years.”
When one audience member asked how republicans should work to abolish the monarchy, another activist shouted out: “Guillotine!”
No other audience members shouted him down and Ms Dent Coad did not respond.
Labour MP John Woodcock, who chairs the party’s backbench defence committee, said her comments about Prince Harry’s military service were “highly inaccurate” and “in no way reflect the views of my party.”
He added: “Like everyone who puts themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe, his Royal Highness deserves nothing but praise and respect for his service in the armed forces.
“In addition to his tours of duty in Afghanistan, Prince Harry inspires so many by the way he champions injured, ill and wounded servicemen and women and veterans through the Invictus Games he founded. I am really sorry this has happened.”
MOYLAN on LBC in 30 minutes with Andrew Pierce, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
ReplyDelete"And I'll be joining @toryboypierce on @LBC at 8.30 to explain why @ASLEFunion are sticking it to London next Thursday."
What will the Dame say.
Daniel met Andrew through the frightful Bingle. It's a gay thing!
DeleteI know that Dent Coad makes sly and petty verbal attacks at Moylan's expense whenever she can. 20.02 & 20.52 must be EDC or her social media imbecile trying to take the attention of her and shift it to Moylan. Has Moylan made derogatory remarks about the royals which is what this is supposed to be about? I don't think so.
DeleteHarry's Invictus Games are a total success and a fantastic achievement for him personally.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch telly, it is there to do mind control so you become like everybody else and not have mind of your own.
Deletemust be the LONGEST segment. Interestingly, none defend EDC. So, its unanimous that she is a waste of space.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad situation for the Royal Borough. An MP who shoots herself in the foot and a Leader who digs the hole.
ReplyDeleteIs Emma Dent Coad a do nothing freeloader,opportunist, getting in where she can with nothing much to say?
ReplyDeleteSuggest she puts her head down and gets on with her work rather than making uninformed bitchy, personal, irrelevant comments about other peoples lives.
What does EDC say about the fascist repression of the Catalan referendum ? The Spanish state is violently oppressing the valiant Catalanexiteers in their democratic referendum fight to exit the Spanish state and exit the EU. Emma must speak up for minority Catalan democratic rights, the fight of the opressed against the fascist Spanish state and monarchy, and support Jeremy in his noble fight for BREXIT ! If Emma is truly a liberal democrat she must speak out ! Remember George Orwell !
ReplyDeleteEDC is hard left Labour. A Stalinist.
DeleteCould Emma Dent Coad suffer from TALL POPPY SYNDROME?
ReplyDeleteA perceived tendency to discredit or disparage those who have achieved notable wealth or prominence in public life.
The tall poppy syndrome describes aspects of a culture where people of high status are resented, attacked, cut down or criticised simply because they have been classified as superior to their peers. This is similar to begrudgery, the resentment or envy of the success of a peer.
Tall poppy syndrome
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome
She achieved nothing on the TMO. She sniped about Juliet and Reg. A member of the me society.
ReplyDeleteEmma Dent Coad is embarrassing to watch, negative and nasty with no positive contribution.
ReplyDeleteEmma! What are you doing about the Catalan Exit independence referendum ?
ReplyDeleteThe Catalan Exiteers are being brutally repressed by the fascist Spanish state. They want democratic self-determination and devolved independence outside the Spanish state and outside the EU.
Please speak up for Jeremy and his brave leadership for LEAVING the EU and its repressive supra-National Socialism dictatorship.
INDEPENDENCE for CATALONIA. INDEPENDENCE for UK.
LEAVE the EU dictatorship and its repressive undemocratic fascist centralised control.
SUPPORT self-government by independent states and resist Euro-fascism.
So now we have more proof of her blatantly telling lies
ReplyDeleteThis what she said on the BBC
She told the BBC's Daily Politics: "Somebody else will tell me whether or not that's true but I've been told that's an absolute fact that somebody sits beside him and drives the helicopters for him."
she also said to another publication in her statement
She said: “The government has recently found £3bn to restore Buckingham Palace, a palace with 52 Royal and guest bedrooms and over 188 staff bedrooms. It is lived in by just three members of the Royal Family. In addition, the government finds £3bn a year to support the Royal Family, including millions to refurbish apartments for their use in Kensington Palace.
“Meanwhile, a short walk away, survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire have been abandoned in pokey hotel rooms for 15 weeks because there are no homes available for them.”
She adds: “Many of them are refugees, and some are former soldiers. I have total respect for them and the sacrifices they have made for their home countries and for ours. Army veterans are treated very poorly by the government; a close associate served in Iraq and Afghanistan and returned suffering from shock and PTSD. It took years to get a diagnosis, the system is punitive and he suffered unimaginably.
“On Monday night I made a joke. It has been taken the wrong way. Can we look at the real issues facing us now?”
So which one is it a fact she cannot prove or a joke, she cannot have it both ways
And yet again she uses Grenfell to steer away comment.
Typical of the left wing. When you're loosing an argument widen it, bring up Grenfell to avoid apologising for telling lies about Prince Harry, but at all costs never apologise. Dent Coad was very sensitive when she was on the TMO but does not show any respect for Harry's feelings.
DeleteEDF wouldn't recognise a joke if it came up and slapped her round the face. She's simply spiteful.
ReplyDelete19.08. She is spiteful as anyone who was on the TMO with her will confirm.
DeleteIt looks that way 19:08
ReplyDeleteCannot fathom this at all. EDC used to be a star on this blog. Admired by the Dame. A big fan following. Now this. What a waste of time. What a waste of hope. Another failed politician. With Cockell and his like, it was hubris. With Campbell and her like it is publicity seeking. For EDC, it is working through her complexes and resentments. Why is The Royal Borough so full of shit?
ReplyDeleteBecause RBKC is shit. It's a stinking, fetid pile of it. RBKC is corruption made manifest. On close inspection, every aspect of its operation is utterly rotten, from property & planning to housing & education etc. RBKC finally achieved the ultimate expression of its rottenness by killing its own residents. Having done so, there's nothing left but blackened husks. Grenfell is figuratively mirrored in Hornton Street.
DeleteThe coincidence of the left wing EDF being elected just 4 days before the Grenfell fire is sinister beyond words. EDF promptly proved herself as spiteful as Campbell is useless. Meanwhile the repellent Moylan slithers out from under a stone, raising his head to dart out his forked tongue.
Residents are rightly appalled. For all our sakes, the Dame must continue her vital task of shedding her piercing light into some of RBKC's darkest corners. The value of her work becomes more evident with every passing day.
Curious @ 21.08 is right. Dent Coad is full of psychological complexes and socialist resentment. She is a big hit with labour politicians. Those ones who just like her are unable to think as a socialist should.
ReplyDelete
