  1. Wheres the wanker council of the year award then???
    Surely Thurrock would win that hands down.

  2. If this is the person behind Thurrock councils financial matters. He should be jailed.

    Secret Investors meeting remember?

    This was not put out to the free market.

    Thus was
    Anti free market capitalism as it was not put out to anyone. Anti residents. Anti small and medium sized businesses.
    Anti mom and pup investors. Thus no price discovery.
    It was Anti Capitalist.
    Where was
    Adam Smith’s key principle in the wealth and nations for morality.

  3. The award shouldn’t go to the ventriloquist dummy but to the Council Officer/Officers who come up with the ideas and do all the research quietly behind the scenes. Councillors just usually rubber stamp other peoples ideas but claim all the credit.
