Glad to see councillors have at last listened to what I've been telling them for weeks now ... There must be a full, open and honest inquiry: I imagine, however that this will be something that will be resisted in certain quarters. Which reminds me: have we heard from the Leader of the Council, on this issue, since her return from holiday?Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-69180767420262082822011-04-11T14:24:23.751+01:002011-04-11T14:24:23.751+01:00Well done Mrs Angry.

I think it will be increasingly difficult for Barnet not to hold a full public inquiry into this complete and utter mess. It does not bode well for the wholesale outsourcing of Barnet's services.Mr Reasonablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496421592535949071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-29247586956611474672011-04-11T08:52:05.591+01:002011-04-11T08:52:05.591+01:00DCMD:I don't think for one minute that Labour ...DCMD:I don't think for one minute that Labour would have got into this mess in the first place, because I think what has happened is a symptom of the degenerative state of the Barnet Tory party: a party that has become morally bankrupt, lazy, and fatally divided between a leadership of a few intransigent ideologues and a remainder of complacent, powerless party members happy to take their allowances and do nothing for them. It's not Walkley they have to stand up to - it's their own leadership.Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-25661761294890169852011-04-10T22:37:52.439+01:002011-04-10T22:37:52.439+01:00Another excellent piece Mrs A.

However, I don’t accept that this is all down to the “putrefying black Tory heart of Broken Barnet.” Do you really believe that your Labour chums, lead by the hopelessly ineffectual Alison Moore, would have handled the Metpro situation any differently? Barnet’s councillors, collectively, have no desire or interest in standing up to Nick Walkley.Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-73726263739176264062011-04-10T16:46:14.743+01:002011-04-10T16:46:14.743+01:00Well done, Mrs A.
