Oakham, Remembrance Sunday 2012, The Royal British Legion, ABF The Soldiers Charity, Paul Beech, The Royal Marines, Photographs
Pictured Right Mr Paul Beech Former Oakham Mayor, Area organiser for the
ABF Soldiers Charity.
Usually Mr Beech keeps his bullying and intimidation cowardly private
but not today, enjoying the protection of Leicestershire Constabulary
he decided to bring his despicable conduct out into public.
The Conservative Chairman of Rutland County Council Cllr Parsons
was visible upset, when I showed him the photograph, He said "I am very upset,
that is my wife beside Mr Beech" It is not Mrs Parsons fault she is married to
a Tory so I agreed to hide her in this image, a pity as she has such a lovely smile.
Oakham Mayor Cllr Alf Dewis Said "Mr Beech is not a dignitary any more and I think this is the point I am meant to say no comment"'
Deputy Mayor Cllr Adam Lowe expressed his shock.
Various Army Officers pointed out "he is in uniform" one asked me "you're not going to publish it, we have a reputation to upkeep"
For far to long now, I have been bullied intimidated and subjected to malicious conduct by the likes of Mr Beech and local governance supported by Leicester Constabulary.
Mr Beeches conduct today is a betrayal of the fallen.
Self-styled local dignitary ex Oakham Town Council Mayor Paul Beech who claims to be a leading
"respectable" citizen of the county town of Rutland and Regional Organiser of the Army Benevolent Fund, the Soldiers Charity, saw fit to raise two rude fingers - complementing the gesture with colourful language, directed at the camera,
while dressed in a regimental green beret of the Royal Marines and sporting his own and his father's
medals.
although I have often been sent invitations by real dignitaries to photograph these sorts of events, ex mayor Beech always appears to be quite antagonistic when he spots this cameraman.
Such a pity he feels it necessary to spoil an otherwise dignified and solemn occasion with his lewd language and inappropriate gesture.
His betrayal of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom is a sad betrayal.

Oakham Town Council Jet Blast Towns War Memorial
Oakham Town Council
Jet Blast
Towns War Memorial
Oakham Town Council Say: The War Memorial in All Saints Churchyard
is currently being sympathetically cleaned.
The work is being paid for by Oakham Town Council
and the Trustees of the Memorial Institute.
From the distance the memorial looks clean.
A closer look shows it is not clean
the pointing is damaged.
£2000 for a man to use a high pressure washer is
not a sensitive way to clean the memorial.
The surface of the stone has been damaged
it now feels a looks like coral.

Oakham War Memorial Clean Up.
Oakham War Memorial
The memorial is currently being cleaned.
Oakham Town Council
received a grant of
£1095 towards the total cost
of £2170.00 from
Oakham Memorial Institute.
A few years ago the town council clean the memorial
and some residents complained it looked no cleaner.
The Town Council pointed out it was the type of stone.
Very grey when new.
Closer inspection should show the moss
has gone after this work is completed
So we shall have a very clean memorial, for this years
remembrance day parade.
