Did i hear right from that clip - this woman had some say (professional or as a result of being elected - doesn't matter) in the allocation of supported housing (or employment in same) for young adults and was dispensing on the basis of her dislike of 'negroid features'?

One on one? You're crazy.
but didn't really challenge her at the time, and got the chair to give her the boot

they had a clown collection - nearly 2000 fucking clowns!
i fucking hope not.
ime that say is down to officers though, not elected members.

she (clown woman) should have got the boot too, a press officer that didn't stop the interview or even tell anyone BBC now had some footage that might prove damaging.
And bought into the bullshit idea that its language thats a problem rather than underlying attitude, but then quite a lot of people do sadly

Quite. Now I've seen the documentary I've realised she wasn't just the doggy-sitter.

the Press officer no less, who had told everyone to be careful with what they said in public and then didn't challenge her racist friend when she did it in front of the cameras and avoided her at their Christmas do, where they had a lovely inspiring speech from ex bnp chairman
you couldn't make it up!

Think she seems to be talking about something in the late '80's, and I'm not sure if she was involved in the scheme or just recanting a conversation she had with someone who was.

she might have sat on an allocations committee - but councillors tend to not get involved with day to day stuff - and usually understand that we can't change procedures on their say so.

From what i can tell someone involved in the scheme asked her if she felt there were any people supported accommodation would not be relevant to. And she replied with her racist stuff. Why would she be asked if not in some position of authority or influence though? This might not have even been to do with the council either - she might have worked there. She may not have been a cllr at the time. Needs checking out i think.
i need to listen to the clip really (am at work atm)
as marty21 says Councillors/Members can have roles in steering policy etc. but really that kind of shit would/should just be ignored (at worst, fucking reported at best!)
eta - sorry, replied to the wrong post, was trying to reply to the one with the clip times in

I did work for a TMO years ago (Tenant Management Organisation) and we had a London Cabbie on the allocations committee - they insisted on interviewing the viewers for our available properties - and did sometimes say no - if they 'didn't like the look of them' . Their argument at the time was that they wanted to ensure that the estate was kept free from trouble
I was a temp there at the time - did mention this to the manager but they weren't arsed, just shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do about it

Those pesky Bolshevik tabloids. Other nuggets included the couple that were fed up with the "London centric parties" while putting on his City of London cufflinks. They clearly didn't regard decent chaps in the City as 'London centric' which I assume is UKIP PC language for foreigners, liberals, book readers, woofters, darkies etc. Basically anyone who's not them such as Bulgarians who have the audacity to stand around in Thanet and speak foreign.
And their attempts to capture the animal welfare vote by standing up against exporting meat to horse hungry Frogs was pure comedy gold. It all begs the questions as to what are the Kippers they didn't want to put up for the documentary like.
Or "I don't care if they're black, blue, purple or whatever"She's the kind of person who would complain "Well, why can't I call a black person a n*gger? They use it all the time to each other".

I think it was her accent and the way she spoke. She was also fond of the word 'scenario' but it was used in such a fucked up way.I'd say they come across more Dad's Army than Fawlty Towers, but then so would they

funnily enough, I've had arguments on Google + with kippers (they seem to love it there) one claimed they won the Reckless by election because they pledged to preserve a bird sanctuary - (threatened with closure due to a planned development of 5000 new homes) big lol

Was an issue iirc, Tories put out literature saying you couldn't trust Reckless coz he had been in favour of the development when he was a Tory. (would hazard a guess the developer was a tory)

Watching now on iPlayer, was struck by Martyn "I was only in the NF for a year" Heale and his belief that UKIP would be successful because they were the underdogs. Obviously lots of minor parties have gained massively in the last few years and he's not wrong - but what does he think will happen if they ever weren't the underdog?
Also had cause to wonder what's worse; being in the Tories for 22 years or the NF for 14 months...

it was an issue - but not a crucial one I'd say - Europe , giving the Tories a kicking, and Immigration would have trumped anything else

I think Cybil would remain a Tory or possibly a Lib Dem. Basil would certainly be sympathetic but likes busy EU workers to order around. Whereas the Major, he is UKIP.I think it was her accent and the way she spoke. She was also fond of the word 'scenario' but it was used in such a fucked up way.

Embrace the confusion!
A gift that keeps on giving. Snail eating Frenchies, distrustful Croatians. It's all in there. At least she's not racist though.
