Monday, 11 October 2021 RENATIONALISE THAMES WATER

This is Nick Land.

He's the senior non-executive director of Thames Water. More relevantly, he's deputy chairman.

The chairman is not well so chairing the company falls to Land. That means ensuring the Chief Executive, 800k a year, Sarah Bentley does her job.

To be fair to Ian Marchant when Hackney was flooded by a burst water main Marchant turned up to meet residents.

Good leaders lead from the front: lousy ones hide behind their junior staff.

Last night, the Council's Scrutiny committee held a meeting for residents whose lives and health have been destroyed by Thames Water's incompetence.

Nick Land, as deputy chairman, should have forced Bentley to attend last night's meeting.

Insiders suggest that Bentley has been'rather absent' so, rather than deigning to turn up, she left it to George Mayhew, Director of Corporate Affairs to take the flak. This he did with courage and skill.

Thames Water has form for treating customers with cavalier disregard. Well done, the Council for putting this dreadful company's feet to the fire. Cllr Lindsay read an especially heartfelt letter from a resident whose life had been turned upside down

According to George Mayhew Thames Water is turning itself around under Bentley's 'leadership'!

So far, we have seen little leadership from the over populous executive and non executive board of this dud company,

Tiny Rowland saw non-execs as decorations on the Christmas Tree; maybe the old rascal was right!

The Dame has been asked about numbers: yesterday 950.

The French Marxist, Monsieur Le Marquis de Florence claims that no one reads The Dame's musings.

The figures show that Marxists are congenital liars and only fools believe them.

Dear Dame,This is my take on Emma Dent CoadShe is misguided in the way that she treats Henderson. She is setting her stall out to makea come back at the next General Election. She knows that Henderson commands respect and is an obstacle to her getting back in.She was misguided when she served on the TMO Board for four years and four months and allowed the TMO to see off Council tenants - toeing the collective responsibility line at all times.She was misguided when she was Convenor of Opposition Group Councillors for a year which is why they sacked her and brought in Atkinson to do the job.She was misguided when she repeated nasty comments about Shaun Bailey supposedly made to her by a Black woman. She repeated these highly prejudicial racist remarks because she agreed with them and they suited the point that she wanted to make. How horrid!She was misguided when she told a woman who objected to her expressing support for the Fire Brigade after the Grenfell Tower fire that "she had not decided what her position would be." That poor woman whose husband had jumped to his death had very real concerns about the Fire Brigade on that night and the Moore Bick Inquiry agreed with her. She did not heed the warning she was given.She was misguided when she "liked" an antisemitic Facebook article containing a virulent antisemitic trope that a well-adjusted ten-year-old child would know was wrong.She was misguided when she objected to the appointment of Sir Martin Moore Bick as Grenfell Inquiry Chairman. She told the BBC that she had always taken her lead on these things from the people she represented and her constituents did not want him. One of her constituents did not want her singing the praises of the Fire Brigade whose practices were found later wanting.She was misguided when she commended the Council over its decision to refurbish Grenfell saying that it proved that the Council had listened.
She can of course disagree with Henderson but the nastiness is misguided and wrong.
Faithfully yours

Dear Dame,

It has come to our attention that Labour is soon about to likely select Claire Simmons for Notting Dale ward in North Kensington.

We are residents of this ward and are very concerned about the behaviour of Ms Simmons the possibility that she could soon be councillor here in this ward home to Grenfell Tower representing some of the council's most vulnerable residents.

It has not gone unnoticed that Ms Simmons has been behind spreading vicious false rumours about residents Grenfell survivors.

An example of this was of her spreading the complete lie that a Grenfell survivor was having an affair with RBKC Grenfell Director Robyn Fairman.

This caused real upset distress to the survivor his family friends.

Members of this community, both individuals groups have been the subject of nasty lies from Ms Simmons, including some resident associations and Grenfell United.

This has caused tensions infighting locally.

We are surprised that Labour would even consider such a divisive insensitive candidate.

How is this supposed to be helpful to a community which is suffering?

Residents also question Ms Simmons' lack of experience knowledge of social housing as most of the ward is social housing as well as what level of professionalism she would bring as this sort of behaviour certainly isn't very professional neither is the recent behaviour towards Cllr Healy that your blog has reported.

The Labour Party ought to reconsider instead select candidates who will help unite people in this ward not cause distress division.

A Hard Left Trustafarian with style....Classy Claire Simmons

Posted by the Dame in theHornetsNest5 comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Friday, 8 October 2021 A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Is this the Miss Claire Simmons who accused Cllr Healy of stealing Party funds and failing to canvass?

Posted by the Dame in theHornetsNest8 comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestCLLR HEALY AND A LATE NIGHT POLICE VISIT....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY?

In dictatorships, honest and long-serving politicians always feared that late-night knock on the door.

Imagine how a clinically vulnerable and well-regarded local politician felt when two local police officers (probably at the behest of the extreme left-wing local Labour Party) bashed on Cllr Pat Healy's door at 10.00pm.

At the moment the Dame is constrained in what she can write.

Claire Simmons who encouraged the police to behave in this unorthodox manner may well become the target for a well-justified action for defamation.

The police claim they are too stretched to deal with street crime yet two officers had the time to disturb a senior and elderly councillor late at night.

Had they information she was going to flee to an old people's home?

The Borough Commander need to give some 'words of advice' to PC Parker and his colleague and then tell us 'lessons have been learned'

There is much more to this story.

The Dame has copies of letters bandying about quite outrageous and untrue claims concerning Cllr Healy.

It is now a question of 'watch this space'.

The police and the local Labour Party have questions to answer....

Dear Mr Parker

With reference to your unannounced visit to my home late last night, please can you confirm that you have received the statement on this matter that I sent to you last night.

Could you also inform me what your next steps are, please?

And please note that if you wish to interview me again, it would be helpful if I could have prior notice and that a female officer accompanies you.

As an 80 year old woman who is regarded by the NHS as clinically vulnerable, I find it unacceptable that 2 male officers knocked on my door just as I was about to go to bed.

Regards

Pat Healy

The Dame remembers the days when local councils were peopled by independently minded councillors.

They stood as Independents so as to follow their conscience without some Little Hitler/Stalin/Mao of a Council leader telling them what or what not to think.

On RBKC we have Ian Henderson, councillor for Colville Ward.

Ian defied the Certifiable wing of his party to join a cross-party food delivery service for those in need.

This caused such a ruckus the 'Certifiables' decided that he be cast into utter political darkness for daring to be filmed with Conservative councillors.

Fortunately, commonsense intervened and a first-class councillor, popular with everybody, has been allowed to carry on doing what he excels at....helping those who elected him.
