27 August (Part 2) - A ‘thief’ to catch a thief?
At an extraordinary council meeting in Tower Hamlets Will Tuckley the current chief
executive in Bexley was appointed to run Britain’s most corrupt council.
Mick Barnbrook’s email
to the Commissioners appointed to run Tower Hamlets council caused a considerable stir but both Labour and
Conservative councillors voted in favour of Tuckley’s appointment.
A report of the meeting was telephoned through late last night by a friendly
voice at Tower Hamlets, the written confirmation of it is awaited.
Some of the information put before Tower Hamlets’ councillors were clearly false
as you might expect but there was a government directive to make the appointment
by today. The little matter of recruiting someone who refuses to countenance the
truth is inconsequential compared to that.
Pending the written confirmation of events in Tower Hamlets, their
supplementary report may be
read here. It does not correspond to police reports communicated to either Mick Barnbrook or me but that is only to be expected.
