Dear Sir
This morning Cllr Richard Cornelius accepted the BBC's invitation to appear
on their Sunday Politics Show. In contrast, he did not have the courtesy to
send any kind of response to the invitation to appear before his potential
supporters at the public meeting organised by the Barnet Alliance for Public
Services. In addition to his disdain for those hosts, on live television he
referred to the participants at the meeting as 'those people ...' for which he
was upbraided by Jeremy Corbyn who expressed shock at Cllr Cornelius's contempt
for the voters of his borough.
Does anyone really want such a person to represent them and organise their
lives? Borough councillors are supposed to be the representatives of
all the residents, rich and poor, able and disabled, workers
and retired, employed and unemployed.
Although Cllr Cornelius not appear at the meeting, he nevertheless felt
able to comment (incorrectly) on what went on stating "Occupy disrupted the
meeting". Members of the Occupy campaign were indeed present but contrary to
disrupting the meeting, they were actually a great help in
quietly removing a UKIP so-called supporter who was the one
trying hard to disrupt the meeting. Is their no end to the arrogance of Richard
Cornelius and the party he represents.
I cannot understand why any decent person would vote for such a party and I
implore all of Barnet's voters to put their cross by any other party on 22nd
May.
Yours faithfully,
Ruth Kutner (Ms)
