Perhaps Councillor Butt, if you took immediate action against Ms Cara Davani, this racial hatred would not exist.
ReplyDeleteIt currently exists in your own organization you claim to lead, Brent Council.
ACTIONS not WORDS and Photo opportunities, COUNCILLOR BUTT
No more Photo calls and then sit around and do nothing.
Otherwise you are history on Thursday.
Butt, now looks pathetic if he now does not immediately do something about Cara Davani.
ReplyDeleteCardboard cut-out UKIP dimwits such as Herr Heino Vockrod are a gift for Butt at a time like this. Opportunities to graffiti his own pavements and 'make a stand' against ...what? Stupidity, basically.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile Davani, Gilbert and her crew, who are not a racist 'threat' but an actual continuing ongoing everyday actuality, are left alone. How convenient.
Call me Percy Paranoid, but you don't suppose that Herr Heino Vockrod used to work for Ofsted and Tower Hamlets and owns a couple of pedigree pooches and ............. No. That would be ridiculous.
Wouldn't it?
the ukip vote is a protest vote against people like butt.
ReplyDeleteMr Farage, forenamed Nigel,
ReplyDeleteHas a tongue that is seldom idle,
He peddles hate and fear,
And prejudiced ideas,
Like a slug that leaves slime behind it.
Mmmm.............Needs a little more work, I think, Mr Us.
DeleteThis is a joke right. With allegations of racism against the council, is this the response - carry on as normal and capitalise on photo opportunities?
ReplyDeleteWell done Rosemarie Clarke for doing just what the sign held by Butt says, saying no - to racism.
How can we take Butt seriously?....there's something about getting your own house in order.
A political leader is more than simply having your Photo Taken.
DeleteShow real leadership Councillor Butt and suspend Ms Davani from her post pending a full investigation.
Anything less and it shows you are simply a "Puppet" and not a "Leader."
There are undoubtedly racists in UKIP. As there are, almost certainly, in the mainstream political parties. I will not be voting UKIP on Thursday, not because I think they are racist, but because a visit to their website indicates little reference to Economic Management and how they plan to reduce the deficit. They attempt to address the problem of the housing shortage but come up with no credible policy on future funding of the inevitable increase in demand for National Health Services.
ReplyDeleteI remember the vile (predominantly) black racist attempt to hound Maureen McGoldrick from her post in Brent in the late 1980s. It failed then and made Brent a national laughing stock. Racism is alive and kicking in every community in this country. It is not a UKIP problem. It is endemic throughout our political and social institutions. Mainstream parties. Just address the most serious issues in Brent - a lack of affordable social housing, crime being carried out by gang members and the need to provide our Primary schools with more places to cope with the higher demand. And remember that there is no ethnic majority in Brent. Every single person in Brent now belongs to an ethnic minority.
