27 November (Part 3) - Supremely smug
On the surface it’s just another couple setting up a new business but when I stumbled upon
this website just a minute or two after finishing my dinner I did
have some difficulty in holding on to it.
Probably Bexley does need some decent home care services; the council has
done its best
to screw it into the ground locally by starving it of funds. Maybe councillor
Sharon Massey is highly qualified in the field and everything is going to be
wonderful, but even if it is she and her husband councillor Don Massey neatly
illustrate why Conservative councillors are so keen to remain councillors and
lie about their achievements to stay in office.
It’s a club. They all vote for each other, sometimes through gritted teeth, and
they help each other out and promote each others’ businesses.
The
Masseys have called upon their friend, mayor Howard Marriner, to officially
open Supreme Home Care on Friday 12th December. James Brokenshire will be there
too to give a boost to his mates’ business. Just like he would for a new local
carwash or barber.
If Sharon Massey can devote as much time to her new business as she did
arranging unlicenced strip shows for charity it should do well and you can be pretty sure it
won’t be long before public funds begin to drift into the new company’s coffers, like it did for
John Waters’ and his pre-school.
Maybe Sharon will even remember to declare an interest in care services before
discussing them at council meetings. She failed to do so at the last General
Purposes and from what I have heard will have to face the Code of Conduct
Committee because of it. Fortunately for councillor Massey that is chaired by the thoroughly
disreputable Cheryl Bacon, currently under investigation for Misconduct in
Public Office by the police.
