Oakham Town Council, Lack of Openness, Democracy, Co-option, election
This Wednesday Oakham Town Council will decide who they will co-opt
onto the council filling two vacant seats one has been vacant since 2010
For some reason according to the agenda they are to consider carrying out
this process in secret by excluding the public and press.
They have never done this before.
The chairman of the Council Adam Lowe said the reason is because
its a bit like a job interview and we don't want the public to know the
details of the four interested parties made public.
It also seems they no longer want the public to know about or witness
the election process.
I have put my name forward for both wards.
Maybe that is why they don't want the public present?
They would not want the public to hear why at least three members
should declare an interest and not vote.
It would not be good for the public to hear that
Cllr Joyce Lucas has made two or more stupid attempts to shut me up
by having me arrested by her friends at Oakham Police station twice, only
to have her cases thrown at by the CPS.
Then there is the councillor I can't name, who has lied to the police many times.
After I attempted to expose his arrest in January for his filthy conduct
towards me I was arrested and charge with stalking and harassing him.
The CPS have decided to not charge the serving councillor
who lies and publishes residents private correspondence on-line.
All this will of course become public knowledge at my trail later this month were I am falsely accused
of stalking and harassing him, along with a police officer (for re-tweeting and complaining about his tweets) A a member of staff from Rutland county council who does not like a few of my many thousands of
blog posts
I photographed the town councillor and ask him if he had been arrested. Then I am arrested!
I wonder if he will still be smirking and making snide comments after he is exposed in court.
Last year he was exposed along with his friend Paul Beech former
Mayor, after they both lied to police claiming I had stalked him in Tesco, CCTV is a wonderful tool.
It amazes me a person who holds a public office can no longer be held accountable
for their disgusting prolific conduct.
Chairman Cllr Adam Lowe said no one needs to declare an interest.
In 2007 Former Mayor Paul Beech resigned due to his strong objection of co-option
Co-option is not the answer and the law needs to be changed to remove the need for
residents to acquire ten signatures to call a by election in their parish.
If it was automatically called like County Elections, then I am sure this would remove the need
for the controversial co-option process.
If your to lazy to go out and get 10 signatures a simple task, then maybe you are not even good enough to
be a Town Councillor.

Oakham Town Council, Election, OSE, Candidates, Martin Brookes, Leanne Martin, Stan Stubbs
So the rumour was true Oakham Town Council found two candidates to stand against me.
Interesting both candidate live in wards where no one called for an election. it is a pity no one
seems to be able to get of their bums and go out and meet the people and collect signatures
to call for an election.
It is further rumoured these candidates have been told what ever the outcome they will be co-opted.
Mr Stubbs lives almost nest door to the Town Clerk he only moved in last year after buying a house
I have visited many times in the past. I fitted and tiled the kitchen.
Leanne Emma is not know to me but according to her facebook profile she does not like the NHS
so if elected or co-opted she should get on fine with the deputy Mayor who is employed by the NHS.

Rutland County Council Uppingham Ward By-election 26 January 2012
Uppingham Ward By-election 26 January 2012
You could vote Conservative, but why would you want to elect a person who until very recently workedfor Rutland County Councils worst performing department?
You could vote Labour, Labour who are they in Rutland?
You could vote Liberal Democrat.
Local Liberal Democrats have selected Peter Golden as their candidate for the Uppingham Ward By-election on January 26th. Peter, who lives in Bisbrooke near Uppingham, is an experienced councillor having served on both Rutland County Council and Leicestershire County Council. He has lived in Rutland for most of his life and first stood for election in Uppingham in 1989 and was the last person to represent the town in Leicestershire County Council. He is very active in local voluntary groups and has run the London Marathon raising money for Voluntary Action Rutland.
Lib Dem Group Leader and Councillor for Uppingham, Marc Oxley, said, "Peter is an experienced local campaigner and councillor with many years of public service in Rutland. I am delighted that he is our candidate in the Uppingham ward by-election as he would put Uppingham first if elected on January 26th."
Grahame Hudson, Chair of Rutland and Melton Liberal Democrats, also welcomed the news of Peter's selection as candidate. He said, "Our current Lib Dem Councillor, Marc Oxley has campaigned and worked tirelessly on behalf of Uppingham and its residents for many years and it would be terrific to see Peter Golden elected to work along side Marc, putting Uppingham first."

Greetham, Stretton, Pickworth, Thistleton and Clipsham Posters
**What Helen has failed to mention here is this woman was very well spoken caked in expensive make up and intoxicated, leaving the Co-op and making her way to her little smart black car with another two bottles. She finished the conversation by saying she felt very sorry for Con. Weirs Wife. The Lady I am told gives very good book lectures when sober she never gave me her name pity.....
Greetham, Stretton, Pickworth, Thistleton and Clipsham
prospective candidate, Martin Brookes, in Greetham, Stretton, Clipsham, Pickworth and Thistleton. We motored up there on several occasions and found posters strewn in public places, one within yards of Roger Begy’s home on Greetham High Street. The most vile accusations were thrown at Martin Brookes throughout the campaign. One would have thought this was not a very clever thing to do in a two horse race. Wouldn’t one?
At a planning meeting 48 hours before the election Martin Brookes was able to ask Mr Begy why he hadn’t taken steps to distance himself from these posters. What was Begy’s reply? ‘I don’t read your blog.’ A classic example of a non sequitur!
The first posters were black and white, stapled or drawing pinned to bus stops, wooden poles, fences and most worrying of all in the official Parish notice board in Clipsham. At Clipsham, on the first occasion we spotted the notice, we thought we might remove it. But this is an official Parish notice board. We decided instead to track down the Parish Clerk and found the Parish Clerk for Clipsham mowing his lawn. We took him to his notice board. He rapidly read the poster and asked whether any of the accusations were true, picking out one particular accusation. I must commend the Parish Clerk for his speed-reading of a document he said he’d not seen before. No doubt Clipsham have a very able and erudite public servant in their midst. What a treasure he must be.
As usual Martin Brookes *wittered on at length in a convoluted explanation. Eventually I summed up more succinctly and the Parish Clerk said ‘Well I don’t understand it. There are a lot of funny things going on.’ I am not sure but did I sense a degree of disappointment in the Parish Clerk’s face when I offered my explanation?
*have you met Helen or read her blogs :-)
We were satisfied that no more posters would appear in the Official Parish notice board in Clipsham. How wrong we were. New coloured posters slightly amended were issued this week and wonder of wonders there, skewed with just one drawing pin, in the official Clipsham Parish notice board was a new poster! This new poster, presumably in a vicarious distancing of Roger Begy from the poster, proclaimed: “This poster produced by ‘The Friends of Greetham Ward’. It is NOT produced by the RCC, OTC, The Conservatives. The Cabbie nor any individual Society thus accused by Mr Bookes to date.” Well that certainly makes it clear who produced it. Doesn’t it?
However my congratulations go to a user of one of the bus stops in Greetham who had torn down the leaflet. This was found flapping in the hedge at the first bus stop in Greetham. A deep thank you goes to the upright citizen whose sense of fair play led him/her to tear this poster down.
BBC Radio Leicester appeared at the Count in Oakham on 6th May. I bumped into them as they returned from a coffee break and showed them one of the latest anonymous leaflets, which Martin Brookes had removed and cut out his photograph, using the top part as his own election poster. The reporter immediately said ‘Are you Helen?’ Hardly anyone reads my blog, she had clearly been briefed by someone. Who had briefed her and why? She wasn’t prepared to say.
She asked for a copy, so I went to the library and, only having a 20p piece made two copies. One of which I handed to BBC Radio Leicester. They opened the boot of their radio car and fiddled with a couple of switches, turning off their equipment as one reporter sat reading the leaflet in the back of her radio car. The mike was placed in the boot, but I was not interviewed. Despite this I began to suspect that I was being surreptitiously recorded. Isn’t it amazing how paranoid one can become when faced with an anonymous campaign?
They asked who was behind this campaign. My reply was that I didn’t know but it was funny that the poster had been issued in an area in which there were only two candidates. They asked whom I might suspect. I pointed out that these people hide behind their anonymity, but said that they behaved like terrorist cells, the campaign is coordinated and yet each anonymous cell appears to be acting autonomously and separately.
What I didn’t say was that living through this onslaught of anonymous tweets, blogs, postings and posters is a little like living in a third world country with a despotic and dubious band of autocrats determined to silence any voice of opposition. Shenanigans in the Kingdom of Swaziland sometimes pale into insignificance beside the Kingdom of Rutland.
Like my childhood home, Rutland appears determined to silence any opposition. In Swaziland the opposition is regularly locked up and false accusations levelled at political opponents. The newspapers in Swaziland are prevented from reporting anything but censored news. Whereas in Rutland…
Rumour has it that the new editor of one of our local newspapers is a Conservative who tried to stand for election on RCC but was prevented from doing so since she had only just moved back into the area and did not satisfy the residential requirements for prospective candidates. If what Gene Plews tells me is true, this is only interesting as a litmus test of the political allegiance of our local press.
The only independent and free press would seem to be our blogs. At least one of which has been hacked.** A local lady I bumped into recently said: ‘You have to stop otherwise they will destroy you. Your blogs and your emails will be changed. You just can’t win.’
The problem as I see it is – if I stop they will just grind me into the ground silently. Whether I blog and use email or take a vow of omerta, I will be silenced. Better by far to go out attempting, however vainly, to speak out, than to be silenced by fear of intimidation, which will continue come what may.
In the face of a despotic regime one should always struggle, however vainly, to speak out before one segues into oblivion. In the despotic Democratic Republic of Rutland let’s hope that we can find others with the courage to ensure that eventually the miscreants are traced and brought to justice.
Spoilt Ballot Papers Rutland County Council Elections and Thanks
I am pleased to say there was none of this from the Greetham Ward voters.
I am sure there were possible a tiny few Tory voters who may have been tempted and realised Mr Begy would prefer their support on the ballot paper and they could save their rude comments for the postal system or my blog.
I noticed one very polite comment it simply read NO THANK YOU
I thank all my voters for your support, because I heard so many people say we don't vote because it will never change anything.
I won't say never again. Although I feel that way at the moment they fought a dirty battle.
I frequently heard a worrying story relating to property issues. How a senior Conservative County Councillor had tried to gently persuade a elderly resident to sell land he owned to that councillor. When this failed he asked someone who he thought he could trust to go and have a cup of tea with the elderly gentleman and make him see the error of his ways! I would have loved to see the Councillors face when the man said he was related to this elderly resident. What disgraceful behaviour and the story was confirmed by a Oakham Business man who was able to name all involved without any help from me.
A Rutland County Councillor has told me the same Councillor is amongst the same group who have fell out with Hawksmead for refusing planning permission for Sainsbury, despite the promise of approval.
An email I previously publish clearly shows there has been a huge argument amongst all of them at RCC.
I am now told Waitrose has been given the same promise. I guess that make sense because they need the money from the College sale.
Roger Begy made a interesting comment on counting day BBC Radio Leicester he said once again the Council is non political! Every Councillor votes according to conscience.Really Mr Beggy? So why the very public split within the chamber last year?
Conservative. Rutland County Council, Mob Rule, failed after 5 recounts and the actions of one brave local woman.
I have refrained from writing about the incidents at the Rutland County Council Election Count until now, because Helen Pender writes in a much clearer way than I do:
I am publishing a guest post published by Helen Pender Independent.
I witnessed the following events unfold. The Conservatives Councillors put on a very poor show and this was supported by the Returning Officer Helen Briggs.
Helen Pender is one very brave woman who stood up for democracy and I am sure will suffer for this in the coming months and years.
She stood up to intimidation and bullying from Conservative Council Leader Roger Begy and other Conservative councillors and their thug (agent) who handled the ballet papers.
Helen asked me to stand at the table, I chose to stand back to impartially witness events the whole time Helen Pender was making a very valid point Councillor Joyce Lucas sat in a chair pretending to stir a cauldron?
I understand Helen Pender is likely to make a complaint to standards regarding Roger Begy's behaviour.
I am sending this to them as a complaint he does not know how to respect woman and his bullying and intimidation of them needs to stop.
I question when is anyone going to stop these mindless bullying thugs who are clearly corrupt and supported by Inspector Johnny Monks and Helen Briggs.
A copy this post will also be forwarded as a complaint to the electoral commission.
Thankfully in the end mob rule did not succeed and Conservative Peter Jones lost his seat.
Throughout this whole event two officers from Leicestershire Police sat with arms folded enjoying the overtime as if nothing untoward was happening.
Its amazing what you see when you stand back and don't join the mob.
I think the most serious event here is the Returning officer failed to take action when the Conservative Agent handled and flicked through ballet papers.
And the finding of the extra ballot papers is also a cause for concern.
The local Conservatives showed there true colours around this table this picture I would use to describe the scene is a flock of vultures around a corpse.
My only input or comment at this point was let the man rest in peace.
It will be interesting to see if Peter Jones still finds business is good in Oakham now he has lost his £17,000 + a year tax free allowance from his back pocket. He often claimed to speak for all traders in our town. I was only speaking to a owner of a restaurant yesterday and he said its not good and the same for many other traders in town.
Lets hope know one steals his swan sign again he may never see it again or will he still be able to call Inspector Monks on his direct line to call out a search and rescue team.
Below is Helen Penders report:Local Election Report 2011 RCC
Local Election Report 2011 RCCThe results of the RCC and AV elections have no doubt been blogged by www.martinbrookes.blogspot.com, although I cannot access his blog since it remains blocked, which is in my interests, at Oakham Library. However the cliff hanger of the day was the count for Oakham South West. Mrs Joanna Figgis, Conservative, was clearly a well-deserved winner. What a nice woman, she really seems to be a genuine asset to local politics and my hearty congratulations go to her. Mrs Figgis had family duties and went home for a couple of hours, presumably to feed her family, whilst the recounts for second place proceeded. The one candidate whose name I recognised in this battle for second place was Peter Jones.
Cllr Richard Gale told me at the Count that Peter Jones had claimed, during the election campaign, that he ‘did not voted against Sainsbury’s planning application.’ If so might this not be considered just a tad disingenuous? Whilst it is true that Peter Jones did not vote, having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the planning application, he certainly spoke out against Sainsbury’s planning application at the planning meeting I attended
Finally, and rather belatedly, I began to take an interest in this race for second place. The table, where the recount was taking place, was surrounded by Conservatives, including Roger Begy, the Conservative Agent and two or three others, as well as a smartly dressed, pristine, Conservative candidate from Ketton who had won her seat uncontested. Peter Jones, a Conservative, was one of the candidates, but I had to double back to find out who the other candidate for second place might be. I am admittedly a bit slow on the uptake, but I was told it was someone called Richardson. Stupidly, the name meant nothing to me, but it seemed he was an Independent and had no one observing at the counting table on his behalf.
I wandered back over to the table where the recount was taking place. Roger Begy, both hands leaning on the table, with elbows akimbo, jutting out like buttresses on a venerable, but crumbling, heritage building, was a difficult obstruction to overcome, however I did manage to slip through that hurdle. Having found a place all the Conservatives asked me to leave the table, saying: ‘You are not the candidate, you are not the agent, you shouldn’t be here.’ Remarkably, Mrs Helen Briggs, the Returning Officer, then came over and repeated that mantra, ‘You are not the candidate or the agent, you shouldn’t be here.’ She went on to say that as the Returning Officer she was in charge and I should leave my observation post.
Well what could I do?
With all the Conservative people on my side of the table asking me to leave and the Returning Officer, on the other side of the table, also asking me to leave I had no choice but to point out that there were at least four people representing the interests of Peter Jones on my side of the table, I forbore to mention one n the other side, and one of me representing the interests of Richardson, a man I didn’t know. I also pointed out that all candidates at the count not only had a duty to themselves, but also had a duty to observe the proceedings on behalf of others, to ensure a free and fair election. This shouldn’t have needed saying, but perhaps Helen Briggs may need some retraining as a Returning Officer? Then quite stupendously the Conservative Agent said he was only there to observe a fair election and was not representing, Conservative, Peter Jones’ interests. The Conservatives certainly distinguish themselves in disingenuousness, don’t they?
For the Returning Officer to seek to exclude the only non-Conservative from the counting table was so breathtakingly outside the scope of her statutory duty, that I went over to beg Cllr Richard Gale to come to the counting table too. Richard Gale seems to play a fairly straight bat.
He came over in time to see that there was a ten vote discrepancy on the reconciliation of votes. Before the reconciliation was made Helen Briggs ordered the votes to be taken from the table. I was speechless and paralysed for a couple of minutes.
Turning to one of the women counters I asked: ‘Is that correct the unreconciled votes have been removed from the table?’
To which she replied: ‘I couldn’t possibly say.’ Amazing that RCC have made so many staff redundant recently and yet have been advertising for new staff yet again. Who was weeded out? Why? Are staff being intimidated?
I asked Cllr Gale to get Richardson to the Count. He rang Richardson’s number and handed me the phone. ‘Mr Richardson, you don’t know me, but my name’s Helen. Where the bloody hell are you? I am at the Count, and your votes have just left the table with an unreconciled 10 vote discrepancy. You have to get over here now, I can’t represent your interests, I am not your agent and I won’t be able to examine the spoiled voting papers.’ (276 – 286 discrepancy between the marked pencilled sheet to number of votes counted)
There had also been a nine vote bundle in which voters had voted for both Richardson and Jones. When the votes were brought back to the table there were now eleven votes in that pile. Curiouser and curiouser.
The Conservative Agent began leafing desperately through the 11 vote bundle. Prompting me to say: ‘Excuse me sir, but you are not meant to touch the voting papers.’ At which point the counter nodded her agreement. Should one, as a rank amateur, have needed to say this to a qualified Agent for a major political party?
Richard Gale then spotted that one of the voting papers in the eleven vote bundle for both candidates had one vote for Richardson and one vote for the person above Jones. That vote was removed and placed in Richardson’s pile. As the votes were removed from the table again, the chic Conservative woman from Ketton said, ‘That means there’s another discrepancy so we’ll have to have another recount.’
To which I replied, ‘But it’s clear that one vote was placed in the wrong pile, so the discrepancy is fully explained.’
With the votes back on the Returning Officer’s table, out of plain sight in the recess of the roped off Staff area, Mr Richardson finally appeared. He’d been coaching a Rugby Club in Stamford. The votes were brought back to the table once again and recounted very very carefully. The poor counters seated at the table behaved impeccably despite grabs at the voting papers by sundry Conservatives as they desperately sought to verify what the counters had ascertained.
Finally the announcement was made: ‘Jones 277, Richardson 279.’
Various Conservatives, who had said they would stay for the counting of the Parish votes, then high tailed it out of the room and into their cars. One couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps this was to seek a private corner in which hatch a plot on how to rectify the vagaries of the voting public for Oakham South West.
As for me? Thank goodness I lost. Had I won I would not have been able to file this blog! However I do thank my voters for their votes, they were deeply appreciated. But that’s democracy in action.

Her staff are very hard working and cheerful, if I could give Mrs Briggs a prize it would be for being the most rude and uncouth paid member of Rutland County Councils staff along with incompetent and overpaid.
