Norland By-Election: Letters, posters, postings and post-scripts

Pictured above is a photoshop of  now-former Conservative councillor for Norland, Stuart Graham. Infantile perhaps, but maybe some people are deserving of that response.

A few days ago Mr Graham sent his his resignation letter and asked us to publish it. Here it is:

OK so now we’ll respond to this in a few points.

Just because one’s family worked as officers for RBKC that doesn’t necessarily mean they have a special relation with and connection to  to our residents. Walk five minutes up to road to Notting Dale Ward and ask residents there about housing, communication and the “Grenfell Recovery” for a start.  There are too many  examples of some (not all but some) officers and suits not having connections with or caring about residents in this borough for us to go through in this blog post, but you can find those on many of our previous posts.    Or we  could  leave this here, taken from a residemt writing to  fellow Kensington blog From The Hornets Nest about Portobello Market: 

Our second point will not entertain his propaganda too much,  other than poimt out that only two members of  the “Leadership Team” live in North Kensington,  NONE sit for North Kensingron wards, and ALL have supported and/or voted for policies/initiatives that have  caused harm  to North Kensington and its residents.  We  did list a few examples ages ago here – LINK .

Thirdly, THINKers are far from the only residents who barely saw or heard anything fron Mr Graham whilst he was our councillor. Tellingly he does not go into anything much about Norland Ward in his letter.

 

Lastly – but it was one of the  first things we  noticed – where is the date on that letter? All officials put  dates on letters – or they’re at least supposed to.

Which means Stuart Graham and his  Conservative Party colleagues have deliberately withheld the actual  date  of his resignation from the public and all other parties concerned with standing in  the by-election in order to manipulate the process to their advantage.

By the way – Not a single one of the Kensington Bayswater, Chelsea and Fulham Conservative Party has disputed that their Norland candidate Stéphanie Petit donated £5,000 to Felicity Buchan’s office last year or disputed and/or issued an offical denial of the “Cash for Councillors” label and allegations about her allegedly purchasing the candidacy of the ward.
