🎉 Become a Brent Council Councillor! 🎉

🌟 Are you ready to compromise your integrity? 🌟

Here at Brent Council, we’re looking for visionless team players to join our elite squad of Yes-People. This is your chance to:

✅ Follow orders without pesky things like “critical thinking.”
✅ Bury your opinions in the name of “unity.”
✅ Support terrible decisions—because they’re not your fault, right?
✅ Climb the ladder of local politics by saying whatever the Leader wants you to say.

💼 No experience necessary. In fact, we prefer it if you have none at all! Independent thought and informed debate only slow us down.

💡 Perks include:

A front-row seat to unchallenged incompetence.
Free biscuits at every meeting (subject to budget cuts).
The joy of knowing your silence enables bad policy.
📅 Mandatory Event
🗓️ Date: Whenever you're told to show up.
📍 Location: The Leader’s echo chamber, Brent Civic Centre.
🎟️ Dress Code: Grey suits and a neutral expression.

🤫 Don’t miss out! The Leader has spoken.

Brent Council: Where individuality goes to die.

I assume this all relates to becoming a Labour Councillor. There are some of us who do all we can to support residents in our ward and across the borough.

I assume you mean the comments Anton.

The letter that accompanied the PDF said:

London Borough of Brent Council are running a virtual ‘Be a Councillor’ event with the Local Government Association (LGA) and we thought you and the community groups that you work with might be interested in attending. We would appreciate it if you could also market the event to them.

It’s on Monday, 27 January 2025, 6:00pm. Online registration will open from 5:45pm. The event will take place virtually via ZOOM.

This promises to be a valuable session and you will hear interesting insights from some excellent councillors on what it’s like to stand for election and be a councillor.

At the event:

Chief Executive, Kim Wright, will outline Brent Council’s priorities for the future.
A chance to understand more about the role of a Councillor and the work of the council
An opportunity to meet with the current political groups

Everyone is welcome, whether you intend to stand as a candidate for a political group, or as an independent, or simply wish to know more about the process and what the role involves.

Full details and registration can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1116590404959?aff=oddtdtcreator

and the attached flyer, or by email to me: member.services@brent.gov.uk and I will send you/them an invite with the Zoom link.
