Cllr
Tomlinson has made the following statement:
“I am
deeply sorry for what was a very stupid mistake. I know how foolish it was and how
dangerous it could have been; it has never happened before and it will never
happen again.”
Cllr Bob
Bayford made the following statement:
“Cllr
Tomlinson has been punished by the courts and apologised for her mistake and
she has been admitted back into the Conservative Group, having stepped down
pending her court appearance. Cllr Tomlinson will not be returning to the
Shadow Cabinet but, as an experienced and hardworking councillor, she will
continue to serve the residents of Garlinge and Thanet well.”
Early signs in Garlinge are that they have accepted her apology, and she is working hard to make ammends as tdc cllr.
ReplyDeleteThe complete opposite can be said for Cllr Ken Gregory
Conservative Councillor Gregory only wished death on someone, But Tomlinson risked possible death on many. It is unfair to suspend one without the other. I am sure that Mr Gregory is very angry.
DeleteOne has to laugh at the bit that says it was her first time lol she is very well known
You must think we were born yesterday. Early signs in Garlinge will be in the form of an imformation leaflet
Deletehardworking councillor? working her loaf more like!

Deleteinformation's already making it's way around Garlinge, seen it this morning. She's been out and around with residents, doing cleanup inspections and trying to sort out the Junior School childrens crossing.
No one's seen or heard from Gregory since the police caution.
School children's crossing? she could of killed the school children!!!
DeleteShe voted for Gregory to return to the Conservatives despite that fact he has shown no remorse
and has not apologised.
If letting Gregory back without showing any remorse was not an example collective homophobia, then maybe they were JUST all drunk when making this major PR blunder?
They seem to think that drink driving and being caught red handed being homophobic is just like parking on a yellow line!
they cant upset gregory otherwise he will cross to floor again back to labour. Anyway he's bayfords mate
DeleteI wonder who was the Tory cllr that told Michael "she's toast"?
ReplyDeleteMargate Conservatives send out signal that Drunk Driving is acceptable as they choose NOT to suspend Councillor.
ReplyDeleteMothers Against Drink Driving mobilizes victims to establish the public conviction that impaired driving is unacceptable and criminal, in order to promote corresponding public policies, programs and personal responsibility
ReplyDeleteThe council confirm that Shirley Tomlinson is still being PAID as a shadow cabinet member, despite pretending to stand down from that position a few days ago - WILL SHE PAY THAT MONEY BACK?

Councillor Mrs Shirley Tomlinson
Garlinge Ward
Conservative
Shadow Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning
Hello John
DeleteI am sure that John is not the only person unhappy about this.
DeleteHowever, your obsession with him does not change the fact that Thanet Conservative Councillors are the only councillors being charged by the police for this that and the other.
John did the right thing leaving these people!
I wonder why Thanet Watch wasn't sent that press release. How privileged you are Michael!
ReplyDeleteChristine
It must've taken her ages to prepare that press release.
ReplyDeleteShe had help from everyone at the pub - team work!
