Can Leopards Change Their Spots?

 

Rudyard Kipling's ‘Just So’ stories include How the Leopard got his spots.

They are stories written by the famous and very keen freemason Kipling and thought to be essential reading by nannies of children whose fathers ‘follow the craft’.

In Northumberland County Council recently as well as its nefarious and nasty reputation reaching the mainstream press over the allegations that Conservative Councillors bullied staff and brought a toxic influence into the workplace, when the motion from opposition Councillors that Freemason’s should openly declare their membership within their declarations of interest in the public domain you would think the sky had fallen in!

The damning Max Caller report to Council was partly nullified by the buying out of challenges through the Council's standards board regime using public funds to safeguard the reputations of certain Conservative Councillors. That process was fully supported by the Councils Leader Glen Sanderson who it's believed led on the negotiations to pay off several of its top officers although he hid from blame by strong opposition Councillors and didn’t turn up at the Council meeting which ratified his decision. His negotiating belief in himself is driven probably by Rudyard Kipling but mostly him being the Lead Improvement Peer for the North of England for the Local Government Association.

Following this debacle, the Conservatives making up the administration have brought in what has been described as an ‘independent body’, a Challenge Board assembled by the Local Government Association improvement team service to ensure a bleached view of how the Council will progress into the future is produced.

‘Just So’ the public are not being conned by this ‘judges judging judges’ oversight and expect that the Councillors involved in driving the toxicity and keeping so many secrets from public scrutiny will be absolved from all blame and sit at the right hand with angels following their eventual demise.

We expect that the leopards involved with the Council will act like their nannies told them whilst having Kipling read to them sitting on their knees. Although that cherub currently in the corner giving blessed answers to their ‘Peers’ from the Local Government Association is not John Milton in whose ‘Paradise Lost’, Uriel the Archangel defended Eden and directed Satan to earth. As we now know whilst history is being created that Uriel's sword pointed towards Loansdean where County Hall sits in Morpeth and the congregation of Kipling's followers who don’t wish to declare their allegiance to a secret organisation or especially its Morpeth arm, sit closer to Urials enemies and are ‘Just So’ right in their own eyes every time in their actions words and deeds leading to the conclusion that spot changing will never take place under their banner.

But with the regional press at last coming to recognise the ‘Secret Council’ nature of the goings on behind closed doors at County Hall in Morpeth as the Conservative administration expose a huge projected overspend in a press statement without informing any of the three opposition Group leaders, illustrates that life at County Hall will carry on regardless of whatever the improvement team comes up with, as that improvement team can only drive matters forward if all parties can work together.

‘Just So’ you know, we will wait here at Murky with the ‘Leopards baited breath’ until the door clicks shut behind the challenge board and view what happens then as the angelic cloaks come off and the spots are re-revealed in all their glory.
