Reed Refuses to Run Properly for Fear of Losing

Labour’s newly selected by-election candidate for Croydon North is clearly not very confident about his victory chances. Lambeth Council Leader Steve Reed has announced that he will not resign his position unless he wins the nearby seat. The hard-working people of Lambeth will be paying for Reed to campaign for the Labour Party rather than representing them.

Then again, anyone who has ever come across Steve and his work will know that campaigning for Labour rather than representing the people has always been his mantra – not least with his poster campaign against government cuts that was paid for at the expense of other local services. Facile largire de alieno…

    Is this the same Reed leader of Lambeth Council where

    (wiki)

    Salters Hill and after

    “Jonathan Greatorex became famous for his legal action against Lambeth Council following the “Salters Hill Scandal”[1] where he exposed a £750,000 parking scam within the London Borough of Lambeth. The case against Lambeth ended up with Greatorex recovering costs in the County Court, following the Parking Adjudicator’s ruling that Lambeth had acted “Wholly Unreasonably”[2] in pursuing the case.”

    It also seems that this council was employing illegals…

    And he wants to be an MP

    We know what to expect…

      Apologies for commenting on the actual topic that Guido posted, but people may recall that Boris Johnson campaigned for the London Mayorship while he was still a Conservative MP. He didn’t resign as an MP until he was actually Mayor.

      I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I would vote Labour if they brought us out the EUSSR. There is no point in having a Conservative Government if the grey Monolith calls the shots.

          It’s all interlocked, as it was designed to be via the destruction of independent nations and replacing them with co-dependent states.

          However the first step to liberty is rejecting the anti-democratic EU and finding our way in the world again. The rest will naturally follow.

        Trouble is, as we know from Labour’s broken promise of a referendum on the EU constitution, “Labour Party General Election Manifesto Promise” is just a long-winded way of writing “lies”.

        Lab/Con/Lib will NEVER give us an in/out referrendum. They will promise one, offer a vote on changing our relationship slightly, but NEVER the opportunity to actually leave the EU.

          To be fair its only if you view our Judicial system from the viewpoint of victims of crime that it is a disapointment, viewed from the interests of m’learnerd friends and future careers in Politics then its a rip roaring success.

          Suspect to Judge, “The media and interwebs have been splashing my identity and turning juries against me, yer honour. There’s no chance of a fair trial.”

          Judge to suspect, “You’re right. You’re free to go, but don’t do it again.”

          If the persons suspected of vile acts really did take part in said vile acts, they need to be brought to book for them. Their victims deserve nothing less. Anything that gives them a sniff of a get-out clause needs to be gaurded against – and that includes people possibly prejudicing trials. If there people in high places trying to cover up, don’t give them any ammunition.

      They have all lied consistently for decades about their true intentions and objectives, hoping that the sheep would slumber through, without realising what was being done.

      Trouble for them is, the sheep are waking up and don’t like one bit of it.

        Even if the sheep were fully aware, it would not change.

        Imagine a hungry lion chasing 3 people through the grass lands. First imagine them as highly trained athletes, then imagine them as drug addicts with severe medical issues. The outcome is the same, the fastest gets to live. This is how politics work. We all know that the EU is corrupt, the MP are corrupt and the rest of the institutions are there to protect them. It is only necessary to show that everyone is equal bad.

        They can be murders, and thugs and the situation will not change.

    is the National Crime Agency the police by another name or a quango made up of former policemen or a club for friends of the Home Secretary?

    They have been asked to investigate the investigation of the investigation by Frau May of the Bundesliga.

    Of course the NCA could be the new, delivered without asking the people, police force of this country – private through and through and totally unaccountable to the electorate

      Labour represents those dependent on The State, aka money extorted from taxpayers.

      This covers a wide gamut from BBC Director Generals right down to the Karen Matthews of this world.

      It must be gutting that you don’t get an automatic landslide every four years despite that client vote and embedded taxpayer funded left-wing propaganda engine.

      I hope posting here helps.

          It should be ‘Head Clerk’.

          Silly titles abound for public sector no-marks these days. You know you are in trouble when they start calling the Town Clerk a ‘Chief Executive’, with pay and perks to match such a lofty title, but minus the real-world commercial pressures of course.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
