2 November - More greed and amoral behaviour. It’s endemic!
Exactly three years ago, Nick Johnson, the then Chief Executive of Bexley
council was so unwell he had to give up his job, poor thing. He was on £203k. a
year and we were lumbered with paying him £50k. pension a year for life. But he
wasn’t that unwell because just four months later he landed a £260k. job with
Hammersmith & Fulham council. The rules dictate that he should have lost some of
the Bexley funded pension when he suddenly found he wasn’t ill after all, but
with some carefully arranged financial jiggery-pokery he managed to hold on to
the lot. So he is now on £310,000 a year extracted from the mugs otherwise known
as council-tax payers. And as is still common in Bexley, these parasites are
hitched up to partners of a similar disposition. Johnson lives with the Chief
Executive of Notting Hill’s housing association and their house just happens to
be a flat only a few yards from Tony Blair’s grand mansion in Paddington. They
are all at it; milking the system that is.
