THURROCK Council leader John Kent is very adept at, in political terms, finding the gap and hitting the ball for four.
So it was at a recent meeting of Thurrock Council, after a constant barrage of anti-union rhetoric from the Thurrock Conservatives, cllr Kent rose to his feet and amidst summing up on the Workfare debate made a number of comments regarding a number of companies that, according to cllr Kent, have made financial contributions to the Thurrock Conservatives.
As you can see from the film, cllr Kent also questions whether the Tories should be declaring any interests when it comes to planning applications.
Love or hate him, Cllr Kent makes a very good point here. One rule for most and a different one for Thurrock Conservative party.
Calling the kettle black!! He needs to look at one of his own Councillors who has many vested interest regarding planning.
Remind me did any donor to Thurrock Labour party get awarded Council contracts last time Labour were in power?
