2 May (Part 3) - Council meeting report - The Motion and the Labour Amendment
A major downside of not attending a Full Council meeting
in person is that one doesn’t get to see Amendments to Motions. Probably I
should have included Howard Jackson’s Motion in this morningְ’s report but I felt
it was a bit too long but now that Labour Leader Stefano Borella has asked me to
tell you what his Amendment was it becomes essential to show Councillor Jackson’s original.
Without seeing the Labour Amendment I had visions of it being too difficult to
integrate various other conflicts into a narrative aimed at Ukraine. Having seen it I
cannot see a particularly good reason for not accommodating the Labour Group’s
ideas. However it appears to be a rule in Bexley that even the most reasonable of
Conservative Councillors will never cooperate with the opposition. Probably the
Baroness has issued one of her dictatorial edicts.
Stefano has given his opinion on things in
a Press Release. (PDF)
