We wake up in a cold sweat thinking we have committed some awful crime followed by the sheer relief of knowing it never happened.
The Dame had a dream like that the other day. She dreamed that motormouth, Shaun Bailey, had somehow become mayor of this truly global city.
Bailey is a man of gimmicks.
His latest is to spend millions handing out burglar alarms to over 65's as if the rest of London's population is immune from the infection of home invasions.
The millions he proposes to spend are better deployed on replacing the 'on the streets' police removed whilst he was 'advising' Cameron on crime!
The Dame has had two experiences of Bailey...once over a sandwich when he droned on for an hour without once stopping to ask a question....the other, more recently, when she emailed him thrice in his role as an Assembly Member.
This self-important fellow had not the manners to reply.
When she raised this with a colleague of his he was told, "Shaun never replies to anyone unless he feels they will be useful."
The great surprise is that Rory Stewart has never challenged Bailey to a public debate.
The Dame holds no particular brief for Stewart but he does seem to want to genuinely engage with Londoners rather than talk at them.
Bailey seems to be looking for the next opportunity to promote himself
According to the Standard he would put 40,000 policemen on the streets. But who is going to pay for them?
ReplyDeletePerhaps if Harry and Meghan pay for their own security whilst they enrich themselves profiting from Harry's royal lineage, then maybe there would be some money left to protect the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Bailey has been discarded by the old Dame. He is finished. Nobody survives the curse of the Dame
ReplyDeleteBailey and Stewart are birds of feather. Put them in the same room and they circle each other like tigers. Clashing egos
DeleteNo, they are not birds of a feather. Bailey had plenty of time to make a mark as an AM: he singularly failed to do so. That might explain why he never gets past first post finding a constituency. His whinging that he was sidelined by Cameron and crew might have something to do with the fact they were getting bored with him and nothing to do with it being an OE coup against him.

ReplyDeleteBailey's timing is all wrong. The chances of unseating a mid term Mayor are minuscule. But that is what was on offer. If he had bided his time by a few months, and exercised some patience, Kensington would have been a shoe in for him as Parliamentary candidate. Instead we got "127" vote weird Buchan

ReplyDeleteWhy has the Dame taken against Mr Downes? He is tarred with the same brush as Mr Bailey!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDownes and EDC have ganged up against Bailey. Not good.
DeleteNot really....it's a case of the best man. On all the criteria Bailey is a very weak candidate for a important post
ReplyDeleteBailey has never been within a million miles in the polls of replacing Khan. The interesting puzzle is why Greg Hands MP is spending so much time promoting Bailey and Chairing his campaign.
