Rallying the Sheep

Julian ‘the Cook’ Mineur and the Heroic Major of marines, Jim Houldsworth are Directors of the same ‘charity’, yet the Chef de Traficoter is questionably only an Ann Widdecombe to the real life Fred Astaire. If Victor Manure has been suspended from the Conservatives, deselected and thrown to the lions without the grace of a legal charge, why has not the Nureyev of the Service charities Jim Houldsworth, preceded him? Better still, why has the leader of that awful sinecure the Fylde Ex Service Liaison bla bla bla, Councillor Ron Bell JP, not been removed from his position? If the top table are all implicated in this filthy mire, why then are the sheep still silent in their pens? Chef de cuisine seems to be paying himself £250 per week with the acquiescence of the Top Table, Messrs Bell, Houldsworth et al.

At a FESLC meeting some five years ago, Steve Flanigan asked the questions, what are the functions and the use of such a committee? He left without getting a sensible answer never to return. He raised the matter with his own membership and gave illustrations and examples of duplicity and political machinations to a private meeting of his members. Those minutes were leaked back to Major Houldsworth and a secret letter used to attempt to intimidate Mr Flanigan into silence. The provider of that information was never identified, nor the secret letter used to attempt to silence the concerned charity worker made public. I challenge you against, right now Councillors Bell and Houldsworth to reveal the identity of the person who leaked the private debate, and to publish the cowardly letter written by Councillor Major Houldsworth.

As leader of FESLC the disciplinary process after the Cash for Privilege episode over the Kensington Houses on Marton Mere ought to have made any honourable person resign. That says it all.

And as Simon Weston goes to the defence of Cookie, I can only repeat an incident I witnessed in Rhyl, where his hero insulted the reputations and sensibilities of a courageous and articulate elderly former Valkyrie. “If you address me like that once more, “she berated, “I shall smack your face.” The rest is well documented.
