I'd love someone to respond to that kind of thing with "what lessons, exactly?"

Interesting update...
Sent this link to the couple I visited in Worthing cupid_stunt and it turns out that he is also something of a slum landlord. One of his HMO properties is next door to said couple. They said it is a very poor state inside and out, plus they think it is 'over tenanted'
Despite his racist leanings he rents a lot of his sub-standard properties (room's) to refugees and bills the council handsomely
Spoke to my old reporter mate, sadly he doesn't think there's a story here, although he thinks the guy is a complete cunt, he has declared his interest in the property, and his right of reply before any publication, would give him the chance to point out he doesn't allow his personal views to affect his dealings with tenants, which would be illegal.
He did ponder the idea of bringing-up the possibly that the property could be overcrowded with a contact at the housing department, but the lettings agents he uses have a good reputation, would have checked it's licenced for multiple occupation, and are unlikely to have let the bedsits to more people than allowed, so any overcrowding is likely to be down to the tenants, and he doesn't want to cause them grief.
I can see his points TBH.
OTOH, if it could be unearthed that he has any other properties, that haven't been declared, he would be on the case like a rat up a drainpipe.

Sadly I don't expect anything more to be unearthed on the property side of things.
In other news, I am aware of various hand delivered letters to him, telling him what a cunt he is, because someone circulated his home address after it was redacted from the council's website, no idea who.

Ah, the old "charge the maximum allowable LHA rate per room, to fund my villa in the Algarve" schtick. Leprous parasitic cunt.Interesting update...

A lot of LA cllrs hide property interests. I know that a handful of my local cllrs are landlords, but don't declare it, & they're ones I was able to get info on thru companies house. There may be more who are less...traditional about their business & tax arrangements.

What happened after you reported them?

Nothing.
But then, it turns out that the person who was Monitoring Officer until the beginning of the year, was chair of a CLP north of the Thames, so I wasn't surprised. I did a little work to make sure SHE moved on though. As for the offending cllrs, I'm assembling hard copies of evidence to send to local media - 1 cllr did eventually declare an interest, but excused her rentierism by claiming to charge a "fair rent". As I said to her, "fair rent" is a bit of a movable feast!

Maybe I'm just having a paranoid Sunday, but the notion of Government ministers glibly writing off court judgements such as these as "incorrect" is something I find quite chilling. It's the sort of thing you think you might look on with hindsight as the harbinger of something like the rise of the NSDAP.

I see UKIP in NI has disbanded due to the party not commenting on the protocol.
Or so they claim, probably just a disagreement between the last two members as to who will switch of the office lights on the way out.
