This man took advantage of vulnerable women in shocking circumstances.
Having survived the horrific trauma of the Grenfell tragedy one might have felt that THE SURVIVOR might have felt empathy with his victims.
Instead, Jamalvatan tried to suggest that because of the women's work they could not be trusted.
Quentin Marshall is up before the inquiry and seems to be blundering around all over the shop.
One minute suggesting tenants were impudent and demanding: the next that there was 'humanity deficit'.
The Dame thinks Marshall really rather useless as a ward councillor.
She does recall one amusing interaction.
At a ward meeting Quentin was hugely chuffed to have got along Rifkind and Pooter Cockell.
Tongue in cheek and displaying suitable faux humility the Dame asked a very pleased with himself Quentin how she should address Pooter.
Looking very solemn, Quentin declaimed, "he should be called 'Leader'.
The old Dame split her sides laughing at the pretentiousness of it all!
Above is the Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham, Cllr Cowan.
When the Dame first saw a picture of the leader she was minded of one of her thuggish deckhands on her classic steam yacht. What a dreadful-looking fellow....so coarse!
Anyway, it seems that Cllr Cowan, like our own Pooter Cockell, clings on to power and his £50k a year allowance like grim death and has done so for many years.
Cowan likes to rule through fear and loathing and that might account for the sheer awfulness of his council.
Thank you, dear reader, for alerting the Dame to this HORROR STORY
The ones that do hate and fear the Hornet are those that make themselves targets through indolence, ineptitude and greed.
There are some fine councillors...Sof McVeigh....Anne Cyron...Robert Atkinson....Ian Henderson....Johnny Thallasites....Robert Freeman...Cem Kemahli...Julie Mills....Josh Rendall...Linda Wade...Emma Will...Kim Taylor-Smith...Judith Blakeman....to name just a few.
But the Dame wants to turn to Rock Feilding Mellen.....
Some have asked why the Dame has not taken her acidic tongue to this boy.
The answer is simple: she doesn't apportion too much blame to this former deputy leader.
She lays most of the blame at the door of Merrick Cockell and other Cabinet members who thought this petulant child was the stuff of a deputy leader let alone membership of the pretentiously named Cabinet.
This 'just out of his teens' and entitled young man with no track record of running anything should never have been promoted so far beyond his capabilities.
He should never have been given responsibility for the lives of tens of thousands of residents: that was a sin committed by the social-climbing Cockell.
Edward Lister is a prime example of how local government can provide a highly lucrative career path.
A man who once flogged fire extinguishers at dodgy Tyco moved on to become an adviser to the Prime Minister and several commercial organisations keen to get the ear of the PM.
That sort of contact broking does not come cheap.
His Lordship has become a very rich man through these various sinecures.
Of especial interest is one advising James Ritblat of Delancey. Delancey somehow managed to persuade the Planning Committee to ignore its own planning rules and allow a tower block to be built in Old Brompton Rd.... smack in the midst of a Conservation Area! This is important to READ
The Dame has been given a series of interesting and revelatory emails concerning Steady Eddie and his various businesses.
People ask whether the Dame worries about being sued.
The last whiner to threaten her was London MEP, Doc Tannock. The Dame found out he had been a bit 'close chested' over a few hundred thousand share options he received advising a fracker.
It was such a fracker of a story that she gave it to the Sunday Times who-to the chagrin of the Doc, did a two page spread.
The Doc got Lewis Silkin's Jonathan Coad to write the Dame a threatening letter.
The old Dame wrote something rude across it and sent it back.
No more was heard!
Dear Dame,
Old folk like you tend not to embrace social media: that's a pity for democracy in the Royal Borough.
The other day you put up a post concerning the outrageous granting of planning permission for a tower block in Old Brompton Road.
I understand that close to 1300 residents read the piece.
You could have quadrupled that number had you engaged with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram et al.
Yours is the most influential and widely read blog in K&C.
You do democracy no favour by not maximising readership. You are a force for good in the Borough and could be an even greater one if you invested a little in social media.
Thanks for all you do,
Stanley Ward Resident
MILORDY Moylan claims all that is written by the Dame is false...
Are you sure Milord?
You and your then fellow councillor, Rocky Feilding Mellen seemed to have a great deal of contact with 'Piggy' Bingle.
You can read all about PIGGY
Piggy is a well-known procurer of contact with councillors in a position to favour the 'placemaking' plans of certain greedily disgusting developers.
The Dame throws down a challenge to the noble lord of Ballsoff Heath....have you ever been 'entertained' by Piggy?
Preening, self regarding Lord

The Dame's dear snobbish mama always used an equine analogy in dealing with jumped up Brummies..."they can't take oats" she would say....disparagingly.
This dodgy fellow from Birmingham has finally got his rather large posterior on the red leather of the Lords and now likes to be referred to as The Lord Moylan of Ballsoff Heath.
His Lordship forgets his friendships and sumptuously scrumptious dinners with the likes of 'Fattie' Bingle, the 30 stone lobbyist....
Come on Danny Boys....you may be a Lordy but for us, you will always be, Danny Boys...mmmmm
Politicians, whether Conservative, Labour or Lib Dem are generally consummate liars.
When caught the Dame will come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Tony Devenish and Shaun Bailey claim that they saved Sutton Estate...it is a lie of such magnitude that it beggars belief.
All Chelsea knows the Estate was saved by residents guided by Cllr Ian Henderson and Andrew Barshall so why would Devenish and Bailey spin such an idiotic and untrue story?
In fact, the Dame emailed Bailey as an AM on three occasions demanding his support: the dimwit failed to even reply.
The saving of Sutton was actually quite unpolitical....supporters came from residents as well as affluent neighbours- generally Conservative voters.
By making such fictitious claims Devenish and Bailey alienate the very voters they need...
Oh, and we all know what the Dame thinks about Khan't Do Anything Right
Downes has now been banned from Nextdoor proving this organisation likes to live in the shadows and hates free speech.
"I am very worried about this site and so should all of us.
Why?
My original perception was that Nexdoor was some sort of quasi philanthropic community asset: it is far from being that. We should all know who is behind it. Here is some stuff on the founder, Nirav Tolia HORNET'S NEST who was convicted of leaving an accident he caused and who has just sold $100m of shares in Nextdoor to a group of US venture capitalists. This allowed him to sell his $25m Pacific Heights home and upgrade to something more palatial without anybody 'nextdoor'! But we all need to ask why some of the hardest nosed VC's have bought into Nextdoor when there is no obvious income stream. The answer is because of YOU; you are the product and you are very valuable. There are millions of Nextdoor members and the information on each of us is of high value to advertisers and governments. That is what makes Nextdoor worth billions. Having written this I will be kicked off but remember this company and the information it holds can be sold to China or any other country which exploits personal information for nefarious purposes. Just be warned. Nextdoor is not to be trusted...."
