26 January (Part 1) - What Katie did next
As
a lapsed Conservative I have a sneaking admiration for councillor Katie Perrior.
Not for her the non-jobs and sinecures favoured by
the likes of Davey, Bauer, Seymour and Bacon to name just a few - all
appointees to public bodies running on tax revenues. No, Ms. Perrior has what it takes to stand on her own two feet. First with her
PR company In-house and now with a polling company
Hersay.
It helps of course to have all the right media contacts and be on first name
terms with Mayor Boris Johnson but that may well have come from hard work and cunning career moves.
What I don’t understand is why someone in her exalted position finds it necessary to write to a newspaper
to suggest she is hard up and can’t live without her £22,500 councillor
allowance and claim that she is “best placed to know what residents are going through
[in these difficult times]”. Is that hypocrisy or just an example of the lying
for which Bexley council is renowned? Claiming on TV that councils
must find a way around the law
didn’t do a lot for her reputation either. But at least her principal income would appear
not to have come directly from tax payers.
