As always, these are a matter of rumour, anecdote, allegations, observations and historical memory.
Elizabeth Kangethe - nice enough woman, lives in Parsloes Ward, maintained she only wanted to stand in Parsloes. Very big on working with children, other than that nothing, does not bode well.
Hardial Rai Singh - again nice enough man, put up a good show in the 2006 local elections and very nearly had the seat, puts the work in knocking on doors and leafletting etc. The only black mark against him is that after 2006 he went off the scene, but still is back now and wants to put the work in.
Chris Rice - this man was forced onto the Eastbury members at the selection interviews he was not shortlisted by the ward.
He is also we would suggest to be greatly pitied his wife Linda Rice who will be standing in Longbridge, we will come to her later, is absolutely bonkers, the worrying thing is he appears to be joining her.
He is on record the same as his wife in stating that the only reason he wants to be a councillor is that the borough has not got correct child protection procedures and he wants to make sure the borough does.
To be fair to him he does not go off into the tangent and totally off the wall statements about child abuse that his wife does, but it is very worrying that he appears to have caught his wifes bug.
Just a few snippets of info our whistleblower in North street has told us that Mike Haywood has summoned these 3 into his office twice in the last two weeks to talk over with them the strategy he is going to employ to make sure they get selected, never mind what the ward members want. Never mind the fact that Haywood is paid by the British tax payer and is forbidden to involve himself in the local party as he is doing. Chickens and roost come to mind.
The Ward members in Eastbury are adamant that they will select who works for them, and they really are up for the fight, the only problem now seems to be is the likes of Twomey and Rodwell are dragging their heels in setting up a new selection meeting.
Ward members have told us that Rodwell and Twomey better get their fingers out otherwise the Ward will just send out the invites themselves and host it themselves, following the rules all the way.
Good luck to the Eastbury members we say, more power to your elbow.

Looks like Rodwell and Twomey are going to really drag their heels on re running this selection.
ReplyDeleteMembers of Eastbury ward have been told that London Region instructed that it had to be done but now everything and everyone has gone to ground.
Do the likes of Rodwell and Twomey think the Eastbury ward members are going to go quietly into the sunset, NO we are not, so either get your fingers out, or we will get our Chair to call a meeting and do it ourselves.
On behalf of very angry Eastbury Ward Members
