A newspaper article with comments from both councillors has now appeared online here is the link http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/Thanet-councillor-Mike-Harrison-warned-police/story-16250868-detail/story.html
So one guy with no previous gets a caution, which is a criminal record, and another, with previous, gets a harrassment notice which isn't a criminal record. Looks like one law for the right and another for the left.
ReplyDeleteTime for a clearout, methinks.
ReplyDeleteThere's been rumours for years that TDC will be abolished and Canterbury City Council will take over. Maybe all this will spur things on.
DeleteI don't think we need any of the uneducated mostly retired or out of work Councillors in Thanet
Deletethey suffer from delusions of grander. It would be an insult to children to call them childish.
I know one Councillor who life models to artist in Maidstone. It is only a matter of time that he starts getting the silly comments.
Keeping still if it's for painting Peter
DeleteIt is shaming when councillors antics become the story, not the work they are - or perhaps sometimes should - be doing for the island and their residents.
ReplyDeleteHow do we get out of this mire? For now the only sensible thing to do is the job elected for, quietly and consistently. Today I spoke to one family which needed a school appeal; another which needed help with housing benefit; and a third who finally got permission to sell their property having been supported through a two year battle.
Not many headlines there - but on balance could well be the best place to be.
And councillors should refrain from making such rude and insulting comments on blogs just because the poster have diffferent views to theirs. I am sure that cllr Wells does not need me to give examples.
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course, they are Labour councillors and then I guess it is OK with you, Anon 12:10.
DeleteAnon 12.54 where have you been, I wont repeat the story but I refer you to BigNews Margate 14 March where the concillor concerned overstepped the mark and was referred to and was repremanded by KCC standards committee.
DeleteNonetheless, I am sure you only remember the Tory indiscretions. Your bias clearly matches your red underwear.
