Indeed. Ironic too really when you consider that the (Labour) Council in Brighton ( subsequently followed by other LAs) introduced the ‘Local Connection‘ criteria to prevent rough sleepers and transients from accessing housing unless they had had a tenancy for the previous 6 out of 12 months...

Liven up my morning at work too plotting endless data onto QGIS 😴 All we need to do now is be alert to Mr Foster posting unsavoury comments on NSC because as I indicated in an earlier post, he is walking a very fine line as all his posts go out the way to highlight that he is in fact a...

He is in part but not in others. He is apparently telling the truth that he has not posted any racist jokes since becoming Councillor so the Code of Conduct that is being discussed will not have been breached on those grounds. However, it is ludicrous to suggest that no one is offended by the...

Unfortunately unless @Herr Tubthumper provides us with a link to the FB account in question , to show that the account was a private account that did not name her as ‘Councilor‘ in the account name, or that led people to believe the comments made by her were related to her work as a councilor...

All of these were social media cases where, except in the case of one Councillor posting under a fake/alternative name which was later attributed to them as a councillor ) were posts made where it was clear the person’s role of Councillor was linked to the account. i don’t have the full facts...

Was her Facebook account in the name of Councillor Rosemary Caroll or just ’Rosemary Carol’? Many Councillors use Facebook accounts to enable them to do their work as councillors (as do most politicians). It is a way to be engaged with the public, keep residents up to date and post political...

I suspect it might in part have something to do with the Council’s Proposal to close St Peter’s Community School in Portslade and the nursery - but rather than anything underhand, the little I knew Les back in my days as a locally active Party member, is he is a man of strong principle so...

I refer you to the Assessment Criteria the Council apply to decide whether they have jurisdiction to investigate a breach of the CoC in my previous post. You are literally incorrect on this. I have a background in Local Government experience for many years both as a candidate in local...

Sources - explain please … Because the law says quite explicitly it is for acts carried out by the councillor in his official duties The Law 27Duty to promote and maintain high standards of conduct (1)A relevant authority must promote and maintain high standards of conduct by members and...

Yes, this would be absolutely the correct response by the Council - if there are known safe guarding issues (regardless of where those stem from) or where there is an ongoing investigation regarding behaviour toward vulnerable people, then contact in a professional capacity would also be stopped...

Not via the Council Code of Conduct by a member of the public - that is only when they are acting in their capacity as a Councillor . However, if a Councillor has allegedly committed a crime and been the subject of a police complaint, then that is another matter and they could be charged...

See my post above The LA Code of Conduct for Councillors is only applicable if the complaint is made in regard to activities that a Councillor carried out in the course of his or her business as a Councillor. “They may dismiss a complaint if, for example, there is no breach of the Code, the...

I don’t think that’s going to raise the level of debate somehow - there isn’t much more to say at the moment about an ‘investigation‘ that we don’t know any details about - and this thread has provided another great opportunity for NSCers to highlight the particular credentials that the local...

Is the Argus story below incorrect? https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17533574.conservative-candidate-resigns-making-series-islamophobic-jokes/ Sorry I don’t know you but I understood you stepped down because the history that came to light of you posting racist content on facebook was deemed by...

This is the ‘minor child’, Bognor Seagull, apparently that Steve Foster/Ivan uses because his ‘child’ needs ‘oversight’ and ‘protection‘ when posting on NSC (presumably because NSC is ‘infiltrated with left-wing militants’ I had never heard of This IS Me but a quick search shows him to be a...

Excellent problem solved - next time just skip past posts that you find too long to read, there’s a good chap 🙂

Wtf are you on about - Jesus step away from the computer man there’s a good fella.

So what!? - no one is asking you to read my posts and your rudeness to my previous post is NOT appreciated (nor is the passive aggressive nature of every response you have made to me on this thread) and you are lying - every post I make is NOT ‘too long’ - Your last post was just as long as...

Yes, it’s almost as if he is deliberately inviting ad hominen attacks so he can blame it on him being a target because he is a Tory Councillor. There are some very fine lines being trod here, not least implying there is something inordinate about a retiring councillor by associating their...

10 and a half lines of text is too long for you to read? 😂 My post was no longer than your post quoted below in #92 to which I was responding.
