Barnet Twat Update : Is Brian Coleman jealous of Robert Rams new found fame?

My sources tell me that Brian Coleman has not been a happy bunny at all today. What could be troubling him? Well for years he has revelled in being the Barnet Tories bogeyman. He has been a figure of hate for the left (and just about everyone else including nearly half of the Tory Councillors in Barnet) and he loves it. His infamy gives him purpose and celebrity.

I've long been of the opinion that he only makes his inflammatory outbursts, so he can sit back and watch the bloggers whip themselves up into a frenzy. Sadly it seems that his powers are on the wane. His star is fading into the Western skies. There is a new kid on the block, who makes even good old Brian look sensible. Enter stage right, Robert Rams. Even more galling for Brian Coleman is the fact that Ramsbottom is his bag carrier at the GLA.

As a result of this blog, it's investigation into the Grant Thornton report, it's exposure of Mr Ramsbottoms twattish behaviour and his stupid comments about libraries, Coleman has taken on the aura of "Yesterdays man". Now, when we want a stupid comment, it's Rams we look to, not Brian Coleman.

Coleman has twice tried to kick up a stink today. Firstly he made stupid comments about the trades council campaign launch. This was a meeting attended by hundreds of local people to fight Robert Rams Future Shape program. A star studded panel, including world famous film director Ken Loach, launched the protest. You can read Colemans comments if you want, but to be quite honest they are so stupid, it's hardly worth the effort. The picture on the left was taken there. Coleman claimed the meeting was badly organised by a lone voice - rather odd and rather at odds with reality (picture from Unison Blog - http://www.barnetunison.me.uk/?q=node/495 ):-

Coleman also spouted off about Londons Firemen. These comments were extremely odd. He thought it odd that Firemen would want to lose a days pay to protest about dangerous changes to their working patterns that he (in his role as Chairman of the Fire Service) is trying to impose. Coleman has told the firemen that unless they unilaterally accept the changes he's trying to impose, without proper negotiaition, that he'll sack the lot of them. He claims he can't understand why they are upset.

Again, you can read his bizarre blatherings here :-

The only rational explanation for Colemans outbursts today is that he's jealous because we think Robert Rams is a bigger Twat than him. He wants to reclaim the crown. Sadly for Coleman, whilst there are many words which would sum him up, I don't think Twat does.

Unlike Rams, who is just plain dim, Brian Coleman is quite intelligent. I genuinely feel sorry for him, as I believe that his lack of social graces and his desire to strike out at opponents is due to the rather nasty bullying he suffered at school (this has been confirmed to me by former classmates). When he rants at our brave firemen, it is really the rantings of a scared and puny 12 year old, getting his own back on the big tough boys who made his life hell. When he rails against the Unions, it is railing against his dislike of "group solidarity" as he was always a bit of an outsider at school. I urge everyone in Barnet not to get angry with Brian Coleman. Feel sorry for him, because he's really rather sad inside. His biggest fear is that the only thing he's ever been really good at is about to be snatched away from him by Rams, who I suspect is what we all thought Coleman was, before we realised he is just a victim lashing out.

Treating Mr Coleman as "Yesterday's Man", is appropriate, because:

(1) it may be true (please!)

(2) it annoys him intensely.
