(Watergate it ain't, but worthy of praise.)<br /><br />Er. No sign of the 5% reduction, I don't suppose!baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-22869308942282177672010-08-16T19:11:03.717+01:002010-08-16T19:11:03.717+01:00DCMD: hooray, he lives ...

I'm not sure if the Conservative party in Barnet has had any credibility for a very long time: possibly for a couple of months in 1939?<br />But you are right: Hillan et al have lost any moral or political authority and the only course of honour is to jack it in. As it is a matter of honour, I suspect that rather than walking the plank they will have to have their fingers prised from the edge as they dangle over the side.<br />Baarnett, that reminds me: what happened to the GMB letter?Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-12758324829629605992010-08-16T17:00:55.521+01:002010-08-16T17:00:55.521+01:00There are the new highly-paid financial jobs to be...There are the new highly-paid financial jobs to be scrapped.<br /><br />And investigations into the legality of publishing committee papers only one day before the last full council must, of course, be continued.<br /><br />Let them squirm.baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-58344040509824755062010-08-16T16:53:16.156+01:002010-08-16T16:53:16.156+01:00According to the job description, Nick Walkley is ...According to the job description, Nick Walkley is supposed to act as adviser to the Administration. But the Sunday Times reported yesterday that he is now on a fraction under quarter of a million a year so he is far too busy sticking his own snout in the trough to notice or care what the councillors are doing.<br /><br />The credibility of the Conservative Party in Barnet is now in tatters. If they want to limit that damage, Hillan and her cabinet cronies must all go. Reversing the decision is not enough. They have spent the last month justifying the unjustifiable and must now walk the plank to atone their sins.Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-28509470279808192842010-08-16T15:01:20.603+01:002010-08-16T15:01:20.603+01:00The fault, in fact, lies with my so-called "a...The fault, in fact, lies with my so-called "advisors".<br /><br />This group of incompetent operators has unfortunately given me policies that have proved to be less than satisfactory.<br /><br />The public will be gratified, therefore, that I have fully investigated their advice, and taken action against these traitors. Some might call this savage, but I would prefer to call it fair and measured.<br /><br />Rest assured that my noble and self-sacrificing reign will now continue, here at the Palace of Hendon. I will continue to fight only for your interests, thinking of nothing for myself except the very modest and occasional stale crust or over-ripe banana.baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.com
