From never having a special responsibility and with a patchy record of attendance and participation in committees and compliance with reporting schemes he wants to be top dog.

I think we should be encouraging this rather than dissing KD just because he can hardly string a sentence together. We certainly shouldn’t repeat his assertion that he HATES the middle class tossers he represents in the City Centre. That might not help his chances that much. Though when he first got on the council – a stint that ended in tears – it was as a working class hero and poll tax rebel.

The lovely Lib Dems almost managed to deselect him in 2008 but he won the day 4-3 – which for the membership in TWO WARDS is going some when there is an existential struggle underway. And Simon Ashley’s and Marc Ramsbottom’s managing to get 3 to turn out is magisterial.

They also tried to discipline poor Kenny. Having put him up to snitching on a colleague who was up to all sorts of corruption, alleged drug dealing, and contemplated elder phishing he was then turned on BY THOSE WHO EGGED HIM ON. Who accused him of disloyalty and divisiveness.

The colleague continued to be a LD candidate for at least one more election, which given his ahem outside interests, alleged outside interests in Columbian marching powder begs a question about what he had over the leadership.

By way of mild pictorial amusement there is a “Dobson Court” on the AVro gated estatelet in or around his home patch. I have a picture of it somewhere which I thought might come in handy the next time Kenny was indeed caught.
