It often makes me laugh when those that claim their rights to free speech do all they can to stimey the same rights for others. A good example of this is the complaint made against me by failed Ex Conservative Councillor Paul "mines a pint" Jamieson to the Standards Board in Leeds.
Now the Standards Board oversees the behaviour of Councillors and can take action - up to an including banning Councillors from a Council - if their behaviour breaches the Councillors Code of Conduct.
Of course they are not there to suppress a councillors right to speak out against their political opponents and in Jameson's case they threw out his bogus complaint. A recent report confirmed that each bogus complaint costs over £1000 to investigate. Not that that bothers Jamieson as a non income tax payer as he can always get others to foot the bill! You watch as the man raves on Facebook about the cruelty of it all!
That reminds me of another tale of Jameson's involvement in a money making scam involving a Town Clerk - but that will save for another day.

ReplyDeleteAre you willing to accept 'free speech' on here Mr Finnigan? Or is that opinion reserved for places you have no control over?
ReplyDeleteso, let me get this straight. Having been given the green light to be offensive to Jamieson with a whitewash from the Leeds Standards Board (despite your comments rather obviously being in breach of the Councillors code of conduct) you now feel that you are so untouchable that you can make defamatory remarks about him with impunity?
