I return to my previous blog concerning the councillor in Medway who resigned after just thirteen days. I have gleaned the following from the BBC News website:
A Kent Police spokesman said: "We recognise the decision David Craggs has made.
"It is very important that policing is politically impartial and seen to be impartial, and we are pleased that Mr Craggs will now be able to continue to serve the community in his role as a special constable."
This is a load of tosh. The Police Authority has elected councillors as members. Six are Conservative, Labour has one as does the Liberal Democrats. One of the Conservative members recently hit the headlines for being drunk in Parliament, so it must have been bad given the propensity MPs have to over- indulging in alcohol.
Could it be that Mr Craggs has been caught up in the opposition being voiced by Kent Police Authority and Kent Police to elected police commissioners? This whole episode stinks to high heaven and I trust the Home Office will launch an inquiry in to this blatant interference with the democratic process.
Not a peep from Ann Barnes.
KENT COMMUNITY ACTIVIST: acerbic, carping, caustic, curmudgeonly,critical, cynical, grumpy, moaning, sardonic and plain speaking.
