Time to do a bit of catching up, there has been so much interest in this blog and information is pouring in that we are getting behind on the potted bios. Before we start can we say thank you to all who have passed info onto us, we are sure that you will understand that any info is treated in the strictest of confidence, but sometimes we do have to independently check it out, especially a piece that has been sent in that is of such a serious criminal nature, we do promise to use it, but we must check it out first.

As usual these postings are a matter of rumour, allegations, observations, anecdotes and historical memories.

James Ogunbose, nothing known other than he is a bus driver, once again this should be ringing alarm bells within the party, if he has been involved and working for the party and building up relationships then more should be known about him.

Robert Douglas, a user and a traitor to his friends, ask Alok Agrawal who encouraged Robert to get involved and supported him as well, then at the first chance he gets Robert puts the knife in. Native cunning he may have, is he up to the job very doubtful.

Evelyn Carpenter otherwise known as Evilyn, or Princess pushy

Not a woman well liked within the labour group or the council we hear. Its seems her reputation proceeded her as she used to work in the councils education dept until they called her in and asked her to leave.

At the very first labour group annual general meeting on being elected she put herself forward for the councils executive and was mortally offended when she did not get the post. She claims to be a team player, but, this is totally untrue the only part of a team that Evelyn wants to be is the leader.

She is a walking HAZARD it wasnt long before she was in big trouble and ended up facing a very serious disciplinary hearing within the Labour Group which she was found guilty by, still to this day she does not and will not accept the discipline of being a member of the group. She sees herself as being above it all.

This year in the run up to the group AGM she finally thought she was on a promise, she honestly believed she would get a place on the Executive, she set about breaking unwritten rules within the group by sending cards and letters to group members lobbying them. Group members were furious at this approach, consequently she did not achieve her goal, we are told that on the night her face was as black as thunder, she threw all of her toys out of the pram resigning from things left right and centre. But, we hear the most interesting event took place at the end of the meeting when she cornered the newly elected leader and let him have it with both barrels.

Since then she appears to have changed tack, and is we here popping up all over the place, visiting groups across the borough making herself well known to them and lobbying hard, word is that she is now on a promise from North street and she seems to believe the promise, as she is telling the groups she is visiting that come next May she will be the Deputy Leader of the council.

A nice dream that one, but being a rabid feminist as she is, Evelyn firmly believes that she as a woman should have the job, or any job just because she is a woman, for her it is not a case of if she is actually able to do the job.

Watch this one, its a walking HAZARD
