A quick background; Sompting has been awarded a bag of cash to make it a nicer place for the locals, even though it's not anywhere near as horrendous as other areas (the forgotten parts of Southick for example), I always thought that Sompting was quite nice m'self, but hey if they got some funding then good on 'em. Loughton thought that he should be having a hand in this opportunity for self-publicity and so decided to send an apparently offensive email to one of the councillors, this councillor revealed part of this abusive epistle, and threatened to reveal it in all of it's glory. Timbo doesn't like this, and although some might say that if he doesn't want people to tell when he sends them abusive personal insults that he should stop f*cking sending them, and so he decided to take his usual route of public humiliation of the councillors involved. Now to most of us, when he does this he is only humilliating himself by behaving like a 6 year old who's lost his favourite teddy, but he still insists on publicly throwing his toys out of the pram.
Like this:
Timbo thinks that it's unaceptable that a councillor refuses to apologise for supposedly bing gratuitously rude to a resident with a genuine grievance, and suggests that this individual pays taxes and so should have rights.
Now, I don't know what happenned at this meeting so I cannot confirm or deny anything, I do wonder if the poor member of the public was a tory party member though, either way is loughton living in the real world? In his parliamentary rant he made it pretty clear that in his opinion it is perfectly acceptable to respond to a genuine grievance with gratuitous rudeness and that an elected representative has every right to ignore and be personally offensive to any of their electorate. Maybe he only thinks that this is acceptable when it's a Tory being the abusive ignorant tosser (not that I judge the Sompting Cllr to be this in any way, never met the guy, but if he get's up loughton's nose then he can't be all bad).
He also thinks it outrageous that an elected representative should tell someone to get out more and that they are a "nobody", obviously he thinks that these insults are rubbish and if it was a "good" Tory doing the insulting it would have contained far more personal insults and maybe some f*cking swearing to drive the point home. Yes, if you're going to insult someone in front of Timbo you could at least do it f*cking right.
Timmikins is going to write to the Chair of SPC to voice his disgust at his assumption that public question time was used as "abuse of public time", well if the chair would like a copy of the response from his angry dwarf mate in the house stating that an elected representative can behave in any manner that he sees fit, to copy in response to him he is more than welcome to it. I was only planning on using it as posh bog paper anyway (the embossed HoP crest really gets the job done). I do hope that Loughtyplops gets a similarly dismissive response from SPC, it's only fair, especially considering that he was attending a residents meeting and he is not a resident and so should be treated as any other uninvited member of the public would be.
And as for Sompting Cllrs forgetting that tax payers fund them and have a right to question them, well, if he can pick and choose from his electorate on the money he scams from us then they sure as hell can. The only reason that I can see that Timbolina would be sticking his beak in with such gusto would be that the person involved was one of his incredibly arrogant yet apparently blameless Tory pals, as he never usually gets involved with any constituent who isn't one of his cronies, unless of course they are useful to him for publicity purposes.
Can we all turn up at a Burgess Hill council meeting and start shouting our opinions at them? Probably not, but maybe Loughton should, that's where he lives and so that's where he should be allowed to have opinions about.
Every time I read any of the crap that constantly flows from Loughton's fetid gob, I am astounded at how he hasn't been sectioned yet, he clearly only has a passing relationship with reality.
