Ex Oakham Town Councillor John Kennedy I don't agree that offending and shocking is an essential function of a democratic society,

Ex Oakham Town Councillor John Kennedy I don't agree that offending and shocking is an essential function of a democratic society,


I thought I'd bring a bit of humour. Happy Easter to all

Maybe Louse who works at Oakham Medical Practice can have a word
with John's doctor who could offer some much required assistance to the
poor man.

John post the above post which might offend some who work as
receptionists. Oddly around the same time he post the following in
his group set up to attack me.


“Freedom of expression is an essential
function of a democratic society.
It is applicable also to those who offend
and shock.”
A quote by District judge John Temperley"
I don't agree that offending and shocking is an essential function of a democratic society, 
but if a judge says it is, I suppose we just have to get on with it.

I think what John is trying to say is he is the only person in Oakham who is 
entitled to have an opinion in anything.

Our Deputy Mayor Adam Lowe holds the same opinion and he often then offends
people.

Oakham Town Council now has 11 members. Adam Lowe, Vince Howard, Tracey Carr & Sally Anne Wadsworth are combining their council work with real jobs, which is no mean feat & I congratulate them. 5 members are retired and 2 members of working age do not work, interesting that one of these two states he is a "job seeker", surely he must be able to find one from all the jobs he posts on his blog. I don't know the status of the non working lady, she doesn't divulge it......(Details freely available on Oakham Town Council Website)

John also posts in the same group his concern about a Cllr who is a job seeker I assume
he is once again referring to me. I would love a job, it is not easy. It is a joke to suggest
the work level of a parish councillor is a difficult task to combine with work. We don't actually
do anything much.

Also my unemployment is not helped much by comments made by the ex Cllr and serving
Cllrs like Joyce Enid Lucas BEM who say "while you are critical of our council you will 
never work again in this area" 

It could be a true facts only yesterday I was chatting to the Tory Police and Crime Commissioner
candidate who has given up his job, he said he is now unemployed I pointed out I was 
in the same position. Mr Clifton the Rutland Conservative Chair said perhaps joking who 
knows "some might say you are unemployable"
