15 April - The good, the bad and the bespectacled in Sevenoaks
Yesterday’s news about
the
Independent candidate standing for election to Sevenoaks District Council
provoked a variety of comment. I was relieved to hear via Twitter that I had not
unintentionally upset Anna Firth, Sevenoaks Council’s Cabinet Member for Legal
and Democratic Services and General Election Candidate here in Bexley in 2015.
Pictured are Elliott Smith, Anna Firth and Maxine Fothergill and readers
expressed an interest in seeing her election address but I haven’t got one.
Kent Police accepted a signed statement from one of the Sevenoaks candidates that she was found Not Guilty of breaching
Bexley Council’s Code of Conduct and charged me with harassment, in part, for reporting that she
was, the truth is still
freely available on Bexley’s website.
An anonymous email response, maybe from a Councillor said this…
Fothergill is not interested in getting elected the only reason she is standing
is, that as a candidate she gets an official copy of the electoral roll which
will enable her to find all the lonely old ladies and help them get into a home.
Note: There may be an interruption to blogging, the Old Lady of Newham has broken her leg.
