We hate to say this? Georgina Hill is correct in that the Tories are damaged goods!

Recent messages on Miss Georgina Hill’s facebook page concur exactly with the message this blog has been trying to get out for quite some time, that the Conservatives in Northumberland through the antics of a few are a busted untrustworthy flush.

Miss Hill asks you the public to question Tory candidates and question them as to whose group they sit in and if its anyone who is on the Cabinet then make sure you steer clear of them.

The untold damage to the reputation of the County Council the workforce of the Council and that of former ARCH which is now renamed as the disgraced ADVANCE Northumberland will never be resolved by voting  Conservative or for their recruited quislings who are running as independents to CON the public at large.

At least some of the regional Conservatives chose not to support a Northumberland Tory for the vacant post as the candidate MP for Hartlepool. It will have come as a massive shock to the man from Corbridge who confidently ran his story of being the ‘chosen one’ through the annals of the Chronicle when a women was chosen for the vacancy given the Tories record on bullying women at County Hall in Morpeth.

Lets see who will heed the words of this blog and Miss Hill on May 6th as those who don’t are leaving themselves open to four more years of a do-nowt Council.

 

North Northumberland MP's former press secretary quits Tory party

A self-styled council whistleblower, who resigned as MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan's press secretary after she became embroiled in a heated meeting of Rothbury Parish Council, has decided to leave the Conservative party, blaming '˜toxic' party politics.

Berwick Town Councillor Georgina Hill, who, last August, was the subject of a Northumberland County Council standards committee which ruled that she had bullied the clerk, made the announcement to stand as an independent on Facebook last night.

Her page, on which she describes herself as ‘a whistleblower, transparency campaigner, standards botherer and represents St Boisils (Tweedmouth) on Berwick Town Council’, states:

‘I will not be renewing my membership of the local Conservative party and will be moving forward as an independent.

‘There are several reasons for this not least the party backing away from the local government reform and transparency agenda, deceit over Europe and failure to address the concerns facing ordinary working class people in Britain today (such as the tax credit fiasco).

‘I will be standing as an independent candidate for Berwick East in the Northumberland County Council elections and I will be able to look residents of Spittal and Tweedmouth in the eye and say that I will fight for their interests, totally unencumbered by (toxic) party politics.’
