Is Mike Freer MP really a Trotskyite agent provocatuer?

Don't Call Me Dave once floated the idea that Mike Freer was some sort of left wing infiltrator, hell bent on giving the Barnet Tories a bad name. I thought the idea was bonkers, not least because I couldn't really believe that people such as Maureen Braun and Brian Coleman were likely to be fellow travellers and these are the people who supported his regime. I still think it's pretty unlikely, but just suppose Mike Freer MP was some sort of Trotskyite mole, who had beavered away for years with the sole intentention of destroying the image and reputation of Conservatives in Barnet. What might he do as Leader of Barnet Council to make people decide that Tories were beyond the pale. Here's a few completely outlandish suggestions as to what an entryist may do to destroy the reputation of the Conservatives locally. All totally ridiculous of course.

1) Give a loud, foul mouthed, greedy buffoon a string of jobs where he could wind up local residents and bring awful press coverage for the local Tories (maybe someone like Brian Coleman perhaps).

2) Decimate Council finances by running up huge debt (Barnet Council Debt in 2002 £38 million, Barnet Council debt today approx £250 million).

3) Borrow money, then invest it in dodgy schemes in Banks with well known health warnings (Barnet Council lost £27.4 million in Icelandic Banks, all manner of warnings from credit agencies were ignored over a period of years).

4) Champion hugely unpopular mega building schemes to import tens of thousands of residents into Barnet and overwhelm schools, hospitals, roads and public transport.

5) Make sure these plans included hugely controversial health risks such as waste incinerators.

6) Ensure that all competent people in your own party are driven out ( Highly respected education chief Fiona Bulmar left at the last election in disgust).

7) Ensure that when you move on, your successor is someone with a track record of being completely useless (Freer's successor Lynne Hillan ran a company which went bust in 2006)

8) Launch a bonkers scheme to completely reorganise every department in the council, ensure that there is no proper project control and pay the unions to engage the finest expert in Europe to oppose the scheme and pick holes in it (Council Auditors Grant Thornton declared Future Shape had no proper project management in place. Freer launched Future Shape and then gave the Unions a grant to employ Dexter Whitlock, Europes leading expert on the matter to oppose it).

9) Declare war on the elderly in Sheltered Housing, alienating many voters who have parents in such accomodation.

10) Ensure your deputy, who was responsible for losing £11 million on a Bridge redevelopment project is selected for the constituency next door, ensuring that the general air of uselessness is preserved across the Borough.

Have you ever seen the film The Producers, by Mel Brooks. Max Bealistock discovers by accident that the way to make a fortune on Broadway is to preside over a complete cock up. Given the huge salaries and allowances many councillors and officials get, this is of course another option.  So when we look at the perilous financial state in Barnet, we are left with three possible reasons why Councillor Lynne Hillan had to go to Eric Pickle with a begging bowl. They are :-

a) Mike Freer is a Trotskyite entryist who set up the whole scheme to destroy the Barnet Conservatives and allow an Uber Left cabal to take over.

b) Mike Freer, Lynne Hillan et all watched The Producers and thought "We can do that with Barnet finances

c) Mike Freer, Lynne Hillan and the rest of them are not really that clever. In fact they are completely incompetent and have mismanaged the Boroughs finances to bring us to the current crisis.

I know which option I'd put my money on, but it is an interesting concept isn't it. If you can think of a better explanation, please leave a comment.
