12 November (Part 3) - What’s in a name?

I must be very careful about this or Clive Mardener might come after me but I once employed a man whose name consisted of 41 pretty much random characters. I remember it well because the primitive data base in use at the time allowed a maximum of 36.I never did learn to spell the man’s name and probably pronounced it wrongly most of the time. It taught me to be careful about such things which is why I noticed the following within the Agenda of the last Full Council meeting and contrasted it with the name that appeared on the Crayford Councillor’s leaflet.
Felix Netimah
Was it really the same man? Fortunately I took a photo of the “Local Resident” asking questions - but didn’t use it - so there cannot be a lot of doubt that despite the different spelling they are one and the same.

What would Google throw up? When spelt with an M the name can be found on Brent Tories’ website where a Felix Di Netimah was selected as a candidate in their Preston Ward. The face looks to be familiar.

The same name crops up on The Local Government Ombudsmanְ’s website. A Felix Di Netimah once worked there, maybe still does. Impossible to be sure if Felix has a twin or not without a photo.

My suspicion has always been that the LGO is stuffed full of ex-Council staff with sympathies to match.

Felix actually found in favour of the Council, his final paragraph was a sop to the complainant.

When the Independent Police Complaints Commission replaced the IPC, the Guardian journalist Michael Gillard reported that 84% of the staff employed there had been police or customs officers with a few Tax and Immigration investigators thrown in for good measure. Very Independent!

Have I found confirmation that my suspicions are well founded? Certainly the only time I made a complaint to the LGO the response was totally in favour of Bexley Council who had quite blatantly selected me for special treatment. Even the police agreed with me that they had been out of order to follow Bexley’s orders.
