A Favour Returned

I had a comment that the house built in 1880 had more right to be on 32. Longthorpe Court  than a "faux chateaux" 

 It was totally irrelevant to the issue..

I didn't publish it.

The same complainant objected to "the insult" to Councillor Gaertner being published. 

Councillor Gaertner had held elected office for  ten years. 

The lady is sublime in her confidence that  she knows exactly what the community expects of her. 

The authority to monitor words and phrases used  by others in Council debate  she claims for herself
and makes a practice of it. 

Using public resources for legal action  to curtail the right of free expression  to  others is also a power  she has exercised. 

With full confidence in her righteousness. 

No doubt  Councillor Gaertner  is not alone in her  views. She has been re-elected. 

That  there is not unanimous support  for her  conviction is also without question. 

Politicians are public figures. They make the choice when offering  to serve. 

Political views are subject to  public analysis and judgement .

Councillor  Gaertner  has not hesitated  to lower the boom  at considerable economic hardship, on  whoever might  disagree  with her views. 

It hardly leaves room for complaint  when the favour  is returned.
