Rutland County Council Election, Leicestershire Police, and other Photographs

Rutland County Council Election 2011 Photographs


Mr Roger B Begy (Tory)
Greetham

Mr Begy won his seat in probably one of the dirtiest campaigns Rutland had ever seen.
Posters were displayed all over the Greetham ward attacking me in a very personal way.
One was even displayed outside his house, the plonker accused me of being an idiot
when I challenge him about this, he responded by saying I did not know where he lived.
Strange that when his address was published on most election material?

At a later Council meeting Mr Begy publicly called me an idiot, rather like his thug,
Tory Cllr Gene Plews who emailed people also referring to me as an idiot.
Rutland County Council Standards Committee mainly made up of Tories ruled it was acceptable
for the Tories to address and describe me in this manner. Stating it was just political.
I find that interesting after spending most of yesterday reading additional statements written against me for the court trial, one of the complainants is very distressed because I asked in a blog if the they and the Tories are thick? Rather odd when I ask a question like that on my blog I am accused of being a criminal. But they can call me what they like.

Reading a Detective Sergeants Statement, I can see this case is very political and I hope the
District Judge will see it that it is just that, a very nasty attack by local Conservative bullies.

If I was one of the complainants, I would be very concerned about one of the police officers
allegations. Because if I held the complainants position I would be required by law not to be political
let alone be a politician.

He accuses me of: A further example of Martin Broookes behaviour intended to cause harassment alarm and distress relates to personal criticism and defamation of  a person where he has over a period of more than two years published articles on his web blog intending to undermine ##### ### and trust in #### as an individual, there standing within ######, the Oakham and Rutland community and the Conservative Party as a politician.

It is far worse reading a statement from a daft police Inspector who states I have destroyed the community by blogging. Possibly I have upset the local Tory mob, but there is more to our community
than that group and I don't believe the whole community is on happy pills prescribed by their doctor as
so many of that group claim, stating the cause is my blogging. Sadly Madam de Maintenon* is a Liberal Democrat

(* I am told in future I should give certain complainants names rather like Private Eye does, Madam de Maintenon has been suggested for Cllr Joyce Lucas)



I understand that the count will take place tonight although I have not been officially notified.

The count did not take place on polling day at the 2011 election, the votes were guarded
over night by a lone security guard.

Photography

This election the backward Tory Council has banned all photography at the count.

With the help of Leicester Police they have also banned me form attending the count.



In 2011 The High Sheriff of Rutland Peter Lawson Attended
in law the High Sheriff is the Honorary Returning Officer.
High Sheriff's don't do anything at the count they just stand there
and look *pretty and talk to their Tory chums.

*pretty obviously describes this years High Sheriff Trish Ruddle
and not the former Peter Lawson.



Oakham Town Councillor Joyce Lucas attended
Oakham Town Councillor also an ex Mayor Cllr
Alf Dewis was a candidate who lost and he was a bad
loser as he walked out half way through the count
when he realised his support was insignificant.



Theresa Stokes left Assistant Returning Officer works very hard
middle the rear of Geoff Pook, who took a golden hand shake
this year. He also received a large pay out from his previous
council employer after he took them to court. The amount he has
been paid by Rutland County Council tax payer to leave his post
early is a secret. Although we do know just before he departed
Cllrs agreed to increase the maximum severance pay for staff
leaving to £100,000 Geoff Pook has taken a lot of rotten secrets
of to Derbyshire. He once said to me "everything you say is true
is just the way you say it is wrong" Theresa said once said "he
has a lot of time for you" maybe so but I never trusted the man.
When I obtained  emails Rutland County Council selectively released
via freedom of information that proved my distrust.

That reminds me Rutland County Council have never explained
why a huge volume of emails were deleted from their system
when  I made my request. They went on to claim they could not
retrieve them what happened to the off site back up? I can can only
assume the emails all missing were far more offensive than Tory Gene Plews
emails. They do have a lot to hide at the Tory Rutland County Council.



Helen Pender lost,

Cllr. Brian A Montgomery (Ind) Now Representing Whissendine
known locally as the Tory trojan horse or mole who infiltrated the now defunct Rutland Anti Corruption Party. He got out just before the council started considering legal action against the group who are now UKIP.

Last in the line now representing Oakham North West (West of Railway Line, North of Braunston Road) and Barleythorpe Cllr Richard J Gale ( was Independent then 4Rutland, Rutland Anti Corruption and Now UKIP) Chatting to a member of the public about the new UKIP Councillors if their view is anything to go by I am correct to say this is a fatal error for the three as they were described as Nazi's! Sad really as Cllr Gale is a good chap who has helped many residents over the years.



BBC Radio Leicester, As photography is banned this year I wonder if the
Tory Council will go to the extremes of banning broadcasting from
the count?






Cllr Alan Walters (Ind) Rutland LE15 6ED  now representing: Oakham North East (East of Railway Line, North of South Street, Mill Street and Burley Road) Charming Cllr who could not stand the petty
conduct of Oakham Town Council and resigned just before the election. he once sat in a public meeting
and described Tory Cllr Roper who was then The Chairman of the police authority as C*nt!
Cllr Roper resignation triggered today's by-election.



I can not attend the count tonight due to Leicestershire Police's
interference in local politics.

I will wait outside for someone to come out and tell me the result.
I hope it does not rain.

I don't want to win as I would find it unbearable to put up with
the muck slinging and fighting this council continues to carry on
with rather than doing what they are meant to do and serve the
community that elected them or did not in the case of many of
the Tories.

The ban is very unfair it is normal for Police to sit in at a count
so I don't see why there would be an issue?


Leicestershire Police "get lost brookes the Tories don't want you in here. 

(above right former Oakham Mayor exposing her dignity Inspector Monks said at the time this drunken
conduct was not offensive to the community)

I find it extraordinary how these Tories fond my little comments so deeply offensive.

I have been called a Peodo by them Cllr Joyce Lucas Standards Statement confirms that.

There main twitter supporter @oakytaxi driver compared me to Raoul Moat, I was surprised to
see Lisa Batty Oakham in Bloom Press Officer reply @lisabatty That's nasty!

But over the years this person has been permitted to continue there disgusting conduct
apparently even driving school children to school for Rutland County Council

and commenting about that work:

The school run sucks! I never get any tips, not even a thank you from the little yobbos
Grrrrrrrr! the kids voted for the two poofs just to annoy me!!! 

Does disgraced #Oakham councillor Martin Brookes need urgent medical treatment?

urrrrrrrgh hungover :(   a taxi driver hung over at 10.35 am in the morning?

A few examples of the @OakyTaxiDrivers Tweets if they were hungover at 10.35am
imagine the state they were in when they carried out the school run.
It is disgusting this Tory Rutland Council put children at risk like this.

I would never use a Rutland Taxi until this person is found and taken of the road.

That's the reason why I refused a lift from Deans Taxis as they touted along the Stamford Road
when I was walking back from Barnsdale.

  could it be the same person?

New Rutland County Council Election Chairman Mr Baines & Leader Mr Beggy

New Rutland County Council Election Chairman Mr Baines  and Leader Mr Beggy

Rutland County Council met last night to elect a Chairman, Leader and other key positions for the 2011/12 council year.

Although there was not much change, there is one big change the rest of the council is stuck with these people for a full four years rather. The old council decided to do away with the normal one year terms and opted out of creating a Rutland Mayor, which I think would have been good for the county.


On Election Counting day Rog Beggy could be heard on BBC Radio Leicester, speaking nonsense once more stating the council was non political....


That's why all the positions that receive a fat allowance and expenses go to the Conservatives once again.

Councillor Edward Baines (Conservative) was elected to serve a 3rd year as Chairman. 
Councillor Chris Parsons (Conservative) is Vice-Chair.
Councillor Roger Begy (Conservative) was elected as the Leader of the Council for the next four years. 
Councillor Terry King (Conservative) is Deputy Leader.

The other four members of Cabinet (in addition to the Leader and Deputy Leader) were announced and they are Councillor Bool (Conservative), Councillor Emmett (Conservative), Councillor Plews (Conservative) and Councillor Pocock (Conservative).

The specific areas of responsibility for Cabinet members will be announced after their first meeting.

Scrutiny Chairs were also decided and are as follows:
  • Councillor Chris Parsons (Conservative) - Adult Social Services, Health and Housing Scrutiny Panel
  • Councillor Gale Waller (Liberal Democrat) - Children and Young People’s Services Scrutiny Panel
  • Councillor Jeff Dale (Independent) - Community Services Scrutiny Panel
  • Councillor Barrie Roper (Conservative) – Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel - also Chair of Scrutiny Commission

Development Control and Licensing Committee
The Chairman of the Development Control and Licensing Committee (DC&L) is Charlotte Vernon (Conservative).  Vice-Chair is Edward Baines (Conservative).

For further Councillor information -

Martin Brookes, Independent, Rutland County Council Election, Do you support the Woolfox Depot windfarm Rutland project?‏

Do you support the Woolfox Depot windfarm project?‏


I received the following email from a Greetham Ward Elector, I am always happy to answer any sensible questions.

To martinjbrookes@hotmail.com
 
Dear Mr Brookes,
 
 
My name is ############# and I live with my 
family at ############,Stretton. 
 
Although I appreciate that you must be quite busy 
preparing for  the approaching local elections, 
I would greatly appreciate if you could clarify 
your position re the Woolfox Depot wind farm project 
which does not seem to appear on your blog.
 
Many thanks in advance, 
 
Yours sincerely, 
##############

Dear #######,

Thank you for taking the time to write.

I have tried not to make any promises and base my possible election on representing the people. not wanting to seem negative I feel I have a hard battle in a traditionally Conservative ward.

My personal view is no wind farm should spoil any of our countryside views. especially as Rutland County Council base the future of our county on tourism.

I prefer a wind farm in the correct location. Certainly a better option than any ugly power station.

I have followed a Pickworth residents Twitter on the subject and if the location shown is correct it would be a disaster.

In finishing if elected, I will learn more about this matter and others and represent the views of the residents.

Something I and others believe current councillor fail to do.

I hope that helps answer your question. I am sorry I have not been able to visit all residents or leaflet all electors.

Your sincerely


Martin Brookes

 

Further email received:

To Martin Brookes
Dear Mr Brookes,
 
 
Thank you for your prompt and straight answer. 
 
I share your views on this matter and am disappointed 
with the current Rutland councilors team who have let 
this wind farm project go as far as it is now without 
any consultation with or concern for any of the Rutland 
residents.
 
It would have been nice though to see your opposition 
to the first stage of project (the erection of an 
80m meteorological mast, that is a mast taller 
than the first floor of the Eiffel tower!) 
on the Rutland Planning Applications website.
 
Yours sincerely
