************* Breaking News *************
There has been an interesting and most welcome development. Regular readers of this blog will recall that Hendon Conservative MP, Matthew Offord has stated that the MetPro scandal is unacceptable and has written to the Council asking for answers as to why such a fiasco could occur.
News reaches this blog that Councillor Hugh Rayner, who is Offords right hand man in Hendon and his closest ally has let it be known that he thinks the whole affair is "a massive cock up" and "someone needs to get a grip on it". Furthermore Hugh also agrees with much of what the blogs have been saying. Whilst stopping short of calling for a public enquiry, Hugh has let it be known that "something drastic has to be done to restore faith in the Council" and that in his opinion "heads should roll". Hugh recognises that when the Evening Standard reports that the council gives £1.2 million to a firm operating illegally, something has gone seriously wrong.
As ever, this blog applauds councillors of all parties when they do the right thing. I just hope that some of his less sensible colleagues listen to his wise council on this occasion. I think the tide is finally turning in the direction of common sense.

What we may get is the usual:
- the sacking of some fall-guy, to protect the leadership, with a huge lump sum, and a gagging clause.
Oh, and "Lessons will be learned."
you said it, baarnett ...
