THURROCK UKIP candidate Clive Broad asked a question to the leader of Thurrock Council last month that has somehow got lost in all the hubub of votes of no confidence etc.
Clive asked for details of Interim Chief Executive Bob Coomber’s salary.
The answer from council leader Garry Hague was: “It’s complicated”
Clive looked bemused.
After the meeting, Clive said: “If someone comes to my factory (Daybreak Windows) and asks for a price on a conservatory. I don’t say. It’s complicated. If I do then the customer will hardly have much confidence in me.”
So, Clive asked again on wednesday. Clive’s knowledge of procedure may be rough around the edges but he looked for an answer. He didn’t get it.
Clive said: “They never got back to me. As a taxpayer, I wanted to find out how much the Chief Executive is being paid. I find it a disgrace and a discourtesy that they wouldn’t get back to me.
“We will see what the voter thinks when we tell them that out on the streets between now and May 6th.
What is meant by Knowledge of Procedure?
Knowledge of the local area, and what is right and wrong are what you need and with his straight talking and energy to revive Thurrock, Mr Broad is the way forward.
Anyone can learn protocols, its principles that are harder to adopt.
Still, we wont need MP’s for much longer, Europe will be making all the rules and even Question Time will be broadcast from Brussels and we can turn Westminster into a free hotel for all the Euro MP’S to stay in when they come over here to tell us what rules we have to abide too.
Good Luck Mr Broad and all the minor parties with no history to hide.
