A personal message to david Cameron regarding troughing councillors

Dear Prime Minister,

During the course of the General Election campaign, you twice visited the London Borough of Barnet to campaign for a Conservative victory in the Council and General Elections. At the time you thought Barnet was important enough to warrant these two visits. The people of Barnet voted for you and returned a Conservative Council and three Conservative MP's.

One of the Councillors who so warmly greeted you has done his level best to undermine your government with an unprecedented attack on one of your ministers, Grant Shapps. The rest of the Conservative Councillors (with the exception of Kate Salinger) ignored your request for restraint.

You are the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Conservative Party. Show the people of Barnet who had faith in you that the faith was justified. The local Conservatives failed to mention the allowance rise in their manifesto or on the doorstep. They have no mandate for the increase. Do you think people would have felt the same way if they had?

You have taken great strides in the fight to cleanup Parliament, the next step is local Councils. Firm action against the troughing at Barnet will send a powerful message which will resonate across the country and save millions of pounds.

We are relying on you to make an example of our troughing Councillors. If you read the previous post on this blog you will see just how shallow the claims of the leader of the troughers is.

regards

Rog T
