The crazed lefties hate Ian Henderson but is that a reason to insinuate he had something to do with the Grenfell fire?
Using the tragedy to attack Ian is in the worst possible taste.
He was not even on the council!
In fact, he was busy fighting to save Sutton Estate and generally pointing out the inadequacies of most housing associations.
Henderson was a highly regarded councillor...a shame the Left forced him out.
Coad wrote the list. Henderson was not even on the Council when the fire happened. We must be vigilant that those who sat on the TMO , like Emma Debt Coad are made to pay for their role in allowing this tragedy to happen .
ReplyDeleteTypical tactics of the hard left in Kensington, deny and deflect to take away any suspicion that may fall upon themselves. The questions that need asking is just what are they hiding ? Who are they protecting ?Why are they running such a campaign ?
ReplyDeleteIf Coad and her band of cronies had been 10 per cent as diligent and caring as Ian, Grenfell would never have happened. Keep taking the money and spreading the lies Emma. We will have our day against false prophets such as Emma Dent Coad and her acolytes. North Kensington deserves better than a broken down old windbag.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely bonkers . I have worked with Ian since he left the Council for a major housing association. He was awarded by the same housing association for his work with residents. Who are these loons. Why would they not want someone as competent and diligent as Ian. Perhaps his work shows up the inadequacies of those who sat on the TMO and failed residents by failing to take any action .
ReplyDeleteI remember when Ian Henderson stood in Stanley Ward as an Independent Candidate in 2014. Henderson listened to Council tenants. His Independent trio had a manifesto commitment to sort out the TMO. It is a shame that Coad never even tried to improve things at the TMO.She is a lazy woman who is thoroughly disliked who, in the best Trotskite tradition, tells the proles what they need to do.
ReplyDeleteHow sad that after all the horrors of Grenfell , these people have nothing better to do than to slander a good man.
ReplyDeleteI live in Brixton. I had been estranged from my elderly father for years due to violence and anger issues. Ian tracked me down over the course of two and a half years, he didn't have to to it he just did. I am now reunited with my father and it has changed my outlook on life. Such a kind and compassionate man you will never meet.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the South London Drug dealer he tracked down who was human trafficking women and. young girls. Ian heard that this man was torturing young women and coercing them into selling and taking drugs . This monster is now awaiting trail due to Ian following this guy around for months and then handing the information to the Police, who acted very swiftly and this monster is now in prison awaiting trail. I don't think Ian is the kind of guy who would have let the failures of the TMO and authority figures stand in his way over what was right.
ReplyDeleteIs this the same man who whistle-blew on a care home in Scotland after the deaths of one of his family. Four months later another died. The Care home had the contract removed, management removed, all staff now trained by the NHS and a new whistleblowing service in situ. Court case imminent . Ian has saved many lives by his actions. Perhaps the people putting false statements up about Ian for their own political gain, ought to look at what Ian does for people. If you had done the same whilst sitting on the TMO ,counting your money, then Grenfell may not have happened. I do hope that resonates with your conscience. It should haunt you.
ReplyDeleteCoad is finished.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway that voters can petition for the removal of Campbell, Marshall and Coad from the Council in light of the findings of the Grenfell Inquiry? There would be no shortage of people signing that petition.
I have no doubt that Coad disagrees with the brilliant Inquiry panel. I wonder if any of TMO Board have incurred criminal liability over their personal failure to act?
“Coad is finished.”
DeleteStop bloody talking about her then you obsessive freak
We are entitled to talk about elected people in a democracy. It must be such a disappointment to you that Coad is a walking disaster and very gaffe prone.
DeleteYou just can’t get enough of her. How pathetic
DeleteThe gift that keeps on giving ! EDC
DeleteDear Dame,
ReplyDeleteWe both remember Myers!
Do you agree that by now Myers would have summoned to his office those Councillors who served on the TMO Board in 2009?
He would have told them straight that, if they continued to serve as elected members of the Council, they would bring the Royal Borough in to disrepute. At which point, he would have produced from his desk drawer a resignation letter for each of them to sign?
Absolutely. For all Myers's faults he was a hard taskmaster with out of order councillors
DeleteGod bless you, Ian.
DeleteNe nothi te deorsum
Juliet Rawlings was Chairman of the TMO for many years before Maria Memoli was appointed, in 2008, to investigate the toxic culture that permeated the Organisation.
DeleteIn 2008/9 (or thereabouts,) the Royal Borough nominated Miss Rawlings for an MBE. Her Majesty, the Queen, bestowed the Honour.
Is it possible to ask His Majesty, the King, to revoke the MBE in the light of what Sir Martin Moore Bick revealed about the TMO back in 2009?
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
DeleteDidn't Fay Edwards get a gong as well?
DeleteFay got the BEM. The British Empire Medal or the Bullshit Every Minute Medal as my dad used to call it. The BEM is considered less of a gong than the MBE.
DeleteThe Housing Department before the creation of the TMO was toxic.
DeleteThe TMO had a toxic culture from 1996 onwards.
When Gordon Perry came along as CEO of the TMO, the personal and toxic character of TMO staff interactions with tenants went unchecked and deteriorated. The staff enjoyed their battles with tenants more than ever. Maria Memoli was called in shortly after Gordon Perry departed. She identified the problem - "them and us."
Robert Black vowed to change things when he took over. He told me he was not Gordon - a stupid and obvious thing to say. The TMO sank to an all time low. The personal nastiness from staff to tenants was monstrous.
TMO staffs were wretched and bad.How did so many people come together at the TMO to do so much harm to people's mental health including mine.
Did Sheila Murphy of the TMO Board have an OBE?
DeleteMrs Murphy had the OBE. I heard she was a nurse.

ReplyDeleteHope Ian Henderson comes back as a councillor, he did a great job in Colville and is a thoroughly decent man and a successful campaigner. More like him please. If there is a list of councillors who should come back then Henderson tops mine along with Press and Mills.
Hear, hear, 20.30
DeleteHe doesn’t deserve the job
Delete10 39
DeleteAnd the 3 now in Colville do? What did Isse the rubbish one with no knowledge of the ward, who defected to the Tories and doesn't know how to her job do to deaerve becoming a councillor?
Was she a friend of Emma's?
That Isse one was in with Emma.
DeleteIt would be poetic justice if Press and Henderson are elected again in Colville. Isse, the turncoat and bosom pal of EDC, should be out on her ear.
DeleteMonica Press is too old to be a councillor again. By the next election she’ll be 76. If she stands again after that (2030) she’ll be 80. Press was all for Pat Healy retiring in her 70s.
DeleteCoad is a fake and a Tory enabler. What a nerve of that woman to point fingers at the
Deletegood councillors she got rid of saying they're in with the Tories when her efforts in Colvile managed to saddle the people of that ward
with a Tory councillor!
And a completely bloody useless one at that.
Bring back Ian & Monica.
That must be the one they call 'EDC's little helper' with the ageism at 11:18 who hasn't noticed that Monica Press has more energy & get -go than most 25 year olds!
DeleteSo little helper, instead of unnecessarily attacking Ian Henderson who wasn't even a councillor at the time of Grenfell, & attempting to trash other former Labour councillors on these comments, please tell us all what postive things do you think the new Colville councillors, that's Tory turncoat Isse & the grumpy lazy oddball Benton you put in, have brought to the ward, residents, local businesses & to the town hall?
I agree with you about Coad. Useless!
Delete11.18
DeleteThe Coad camp is politically incorrect.
Coad is racist to Blacks whom she does not like. She is antisemitic too. Some claim that she is homophobic - racism goes hand in glove homophobia so it would not surprise me if she is homophobic.
11.18 is being ageist. Age is not a barrier to achieving, but to this supporter of Coad, it is.
They must be desperate to take the pressure off Coad now that the Grenfell Inquiry has reported and her position as a Councillor is untenable.
Monica Press has more integrity in her little finger than EDC and the loonies will ever possess.
DeleteThe EDC camp will hopefully be gone by the next Council election. They should focus on their CVs and job applications, as they will be getting what they dished out to Henderson and Press. Hopefully a hard left free local Labour Party in the near future.
DeleteMany Colville residents are happy that Press and Henderson are no longer their councillors.
DeleteThanks Emma for that! Do you think we are daft believing that rubbish?
Delete14.56 Typical of the delusional Coad lot.
DeleteAnd the vast majority of Kensington and Bayswater are rejected Dent Coad at the ballot box ,in vast numbers.
DeleteOh really Emma @14:56? One of the Colville councillors had to vacate his St Helens seat to make room for you & because you made false malicious allegations about him.
Delete@14.31. I heard that Coad wants to volunteer to work in Corbyn's office when she is seen off in 2026.
Delete14.56 must have their head in the clouds to be unaware that the Colville casework is piling up because the councillors can't or won't do it. The 2 Pembridge Conservative councillors have been far more helpful.
Delete14:56 and 23.54.
DeleteWhy did Coad cease to be Councillor for Golborne Ward?
I know she was lazy and depended on Mason quite a bit. She knew that with Mason retiring, she would not have anyone to cover the work that she neglected to do.
I heard that she wanted to become the Councillor for Grenfell. (It is a pity that Gaza isn't in Kensington because Gaza and Grenfell would suit her Corbnynistic position.)
I heard that Coad intended standing in Notting Dale but that never came to pass. What happened with that aspiration- the Corbynista was on a roll in the unreformed, dare I say antisemitic, Labour Party.
Why didn't she stand in Notting Dale?
Good job she didn't because, following the Inquiry Report, she would now be unable to show her face around Grenfell even with Corbyn her side.
Dear Dame Hornet,
ReplyDeleteOne of your Hornets is a very clever stinger!
By that, I mean the Hornet who teased out the essence of Phase II, Volume 3, Part 4 of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Report. This deals with the relationship between the TMO and tenants. (I have just read it.)
Maria Memoli identified a nasty "them and us culture" in 2009. The Inquiry found this situation became progressively worse. By the time Grenfell tenants became involved in refurbishment negotiations, the toxic ire and pernicious wrath of the TMO knew no bounds.
This Hornet was most adept in directing our attention to the Councillors on the TMO Board in 2009 who failed to ensure the toxic culture ceased. I certainly did not know that three of those Councillors are still on the Council today.
Hornets are small insects with small brains but this Hornet has an incisive, accurate and sharply focused, mind.
Praise be to god dappled Hornets - the red and yellow ones.
I love Gerard Manley Hopkins too -
DeletePied Beauty.
Glory be to god for dappled things,
For red and yellow hornets, .......................
Praise him.
Would Ian Henderson tell us if the three Councillors who were on the TMO in 2009 should be asked to resign?
DeleteIf they fail to do so, should they be removed?
No, they shouldn’t be asked to resign. Nor should they be removed.
DeleteWell I disagree.
DeleteThey should be asked to resign or suffer shafting. They are responsible for a culture of bullying and intimidation by TMO staff. 72 people died because these twits thought let those who pay rent suffer.
EDC is a bad lot.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she will stand again in 2026
DeleteSome have suggested that this website "hates" Emma. No one "hates" her. She is held up to ridicule on this site because she has made herself a laughing stock.
ReplyDeleteShe says she is an antiracist campaigner but her racism, and repeated antisemitism has been called out.
She claims to be a socialist in the Corbyn mould and an antimonarchist but she also claims she has Royal Blood, making her "one of them."
The latest claim to be "one of them" puts her on an equal footing with those with poor housing in the Grenfell area because she has had poor housing donkey's years ago. Sad and pretentious. She tries too hard to be all things to all people and fails. As a consequence, her foibles are exposed on here. People can say how marvellous she is if they like, it is a free country.
