The Conservative
Group position was outlined in the press release dated 18th April. The Conservative Group did not believe that
this was an appropriate use of Council time and resource and voted against
debating the motion. This was defeated
and the motion was debated. Of the 24
Conservative Councillors present, 2 voted against the motion, 7 voted for the
motion and 15 abstained. One Labour
member also voted against the motion.
Accusations of
homophobia were bandied around like confetti by Thanet Independent Group,
Labour and the public gallery, including libellous tweets against members who
had abstained and the Conservative Group as a whole.
The most amusing thing about the night was the Conservative group voting against debating, and then actually debating the issue.
ReplyDeleteAlso funny was some of their members saying that they were abstaining because they hadn't managed to speak to all of their constituents. NONE OF THE COUNCILLORS HAVE EVER SPOKEN TO ALL OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS FOR THEIR OPINIONS ON ANY ISSUE UP FOR VOTE!!!
Idiots!
The sad thingto see are labour and the new independents falling over each other to ingratiate themselves to each other in the pursuit of power and at the expense of Thanet. Idiots!
ReplyDeleteIf that includes Ian Driver count me out. In fact, on second thoughts, there is barely anyone at TDC I would fancy kissing so perhaps that is a pretty daft idea.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know. Some really enjoy my whiskers.
