The Barnet Council List of Shame

And on to the next Barnet Council Tory scandal. My favourite type of scandal is one where everyone agrees that Barnet's Tories are completely wrong and real Tories are the ones most upset. Now some naughty Tories like to portray me as a swivel eyed trotskyite, but given I support many initiatives lead by Conservative Councils, this is somewhat wide of the mark. One such initiative is that lead by Windsor & Maidenhead Council, for open government.

Sadly, we are still in the age of the dinosaur in Barnet. Yesterday Barnet put the register of Councillors interests on line. In true Barnet Council style though, they've allowed some Councillors to opt out.

Well guys, you are now a boil festering on the bum of the Barnet Conservative Party. As ever the offer is open to you to defend your position here with a guest blog. I hope you realise that we will all now think the worst of you. There is also a race on between all the bloggers of Barnet to get hold of your list and publish it.

I suspect that whatever you've been trying to hide will now become far more widely known than if you'd just fessed up in the first place. Now I know Councillor Brian Coleman likes the notoriety publicity, but how on earth has he persuaded his mates to follow suit.

I'm especially impressed to see Councillor Barry Evangeli on there. Given that he's spent the last 30 years trying to make a public berk of himself, I'm surprised he's so shy about his finances.
