It was a proud moment for The Dame when she heard her ruthless campaign against the one time leader of K&C had cost him a much lusted after peerage.
When the Dame found out about Sir 'Pooter' Cockell's extraordinarily greedy expense claiming she used every cunning artifice to ensure the gentlemen of the press exposed him. The net result was that Pooter got a K and no chance of perching his fat behind on the red leather benches of 'not the other place' with its £370 a day tax free.
Pooter was one of local government's true 'entrepreneurs' gathering as many profitable sinecures as he could...not bad for a man with no education but a great streak of opportunism.

Pooter |
One of Pooter's great mates is the spherical Bob Neill, MP. They used to work together: the Dame is too indolent to find out if they still do.
She hopes Pooter will be lending moral support to Bob as the Parliamentary Watchdog looks at some of Bob's very Kentish extramural activities...
"A former Conservative planning minister is under investigation by the Parliamentary watchdog for failing to declare his links to companies behind a luxury hotel development in his constituency, the Telegraph can reveal.
Sir Bob Neill did not disclose he was a paid consultant for a company involved in the planning application in a letter urging the council to approve it.
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards launched the investigation in May after receiving a complaint about Sir Bob’s role in securing permission for the Royal Bell hotel redevelopment in Bromley, Kent."
Long live the Dame!
ReplyDeleteBravo my dear.
How the Pooter was ever allowed into that position is beyond belief. Do keep us informed of the current incumbent's activities.
The Dame, at her great age, is entitled to be indolent. It looks as if Spherical Bob and his chum, Pooter Cockell resigned from Cratus, the lobbying lads at the same time. What are two fat gentleman doing together now?
