This memory comes courtesy of a Dagenham member.
It seems that back in 2005/06 prior to the last local elections Darren Rodwell was informed that he had missed the boat in being selected to stand for labour as he had only just joined the party.
Rodwell was very angry to say the least as it was said he was of the belief that a place was his by right because he was Chair of the residents association, and according to him all of the work he had done in the community. Of course no mention was made of all the money his "company" had pocketed from the council while doing this "work".
Anyway it is said that Rodwell then claimed that he would stand as an Independent because he firmly believed that only an Independent such as himself could beat the BNP.
Now of course we all know now that Rodwell did no such thing, then, but Dagenham members have long memories and we hear that there is now growing concern that Rodwell is only using labour as a vehicle in his attempt to get elected this time round.
Dagenham members have long memories and they are very much aware that Rodwell does not subscribe to the principles of the Labour Party, and of course there is a lot of evidence now which proves he does not abide by the Party rules.
Concern is growing we hear that if Rodwell were to get elected this time round his first job will be to cross the floor and become an Independent councillor.
Just wonder how the voters in Alibon would react to that???
What a ridiculous statement to make. Who in their right mind would give up being a labour councillor to become independent by choice?
ReplyDeleteHe may have some personal popular support in his ward but labour won't lose out to independents.
Who is concerned about him crossing the floor anyway? Most people who are concerned about Mr Rodwell, particularly on this blog over the months, would be delighted to to see the back of him as a labour member.
The way the previous comment has been written one could almost believe it has been written by Rodwells friend Bob Bailey BNP
ReplyDeleteWhat has become of this blog? I see barkings true labour party members have been reduced to scraping the barrell for the past 5 months.
ReplyDeleteWhere have the great character assasinations on the mafia gone? Where has the debate from unmoderated comments gone?
true labour party members supporter - support the independents!!!!
support the independants !
ReplyDeleteWe were told Cllr. Fred Barns would get the fines rescinded from Thames View residents for turning right when it was illegal to do so. Now we are told, by himself, that the fines issued were legal, so no change there then.
Someone who will not be voting at all.
you made the turn on that morning. how can you put the blame at the feet of cllr Fred barns he never made it the turn you should read the road signs and if you don't you have to pay sorry
ReplyDeleteIf you want to blame anyone for the fine and the ban on turning right blame George Shaw it was him that set it up in the first place.
