The fight continues – but now it is Conservative versus Conservative

Yet another twist has come about in the long-running Norfolk incinerator saga, reports TPA supporter John Martin.

The outrageous show trial conducted by the Leader of Norfolk County Council (NCC) Cllr Derrick Murphy – fondly now referred to as “Dear Leader” – at the NCC Cabinet meeting on 7th March remains very fresh in the minds of those who were present. But it was clear that something had to happen, and happen it soon did. Enter stage left, Cllr George Nobbs the impassioned but erudite head of the NCC Labour group (of three) with a formal request to the NCC Cabinet Scrutiny Committee to call in the NCC Cabinet decision and remit it to a full meeting of NCC to retake. In a neat parallel with a judicial review claim, Cllr Nobbs alleged procedural flaws in the process. He highlighted, in particular, the NCC Cabinet’s failure to give the defendants on trial the opportunity to rebut the charges laid against them.

It was perhaps not surprising that he was shortly followed by an alliance comprising members of the NCC Lib Dem and Green groups with their own call in request. Their focus was on health and economic issues, coupled with a timely nod in the direction of localism, given the fact that over 65,000 residents had voted against the incinerator proposal in a local poll. However, the real surprise came in the form of a third call in request made by a breakaway trio of members of the NCC Conservative group, proof if nothing more that Dear Leader’s grasp on that group is weakening. Their ground was a constitutional one, namely that the decision was effectively a policy decision and so outside the jurisdiction of the NCC Cabinet.

Allow me to try to justify the title of this piece. The show trial proceedings had opened with Cllr Nick Daubeny, the Leader of the Conservative controlled King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council (“KLWNBC”), addressing the NCC Cabinet on the result of the local poll that, no doubt much to the annoyance of the NCC Cabinet, he and his colleagues at KLWNBC had commissioned. He urged the NCC Cabinet not to go ahead with the incinerator project. This alone, never mind the later split in the ranks of the NCC Conservative group, was enough to herald the start of internecine warfare. But within days KLWNBC held a special meeting attended by hundreds of members of the public to decide what action to take in response to the NCC Cabinet decision. On the basis of recorded votes, KLWNBC passed four dramatic motions unanimously, all in condemnation of that decision. Those voting included the nine “twin-hatted” Conservative members of KLWNBC who also sit on NCC (a situation that some of them must now regret, despite the double allowances). To make matters even worse, one of their number was Cllr Janet Murphy, the wife of Dear Leader. Without being dreadfully cruel to the nine, it is fair to say that the forthcoming district council elections on 5th May could perhaps have triggered the odd damascene conversion.

So there you have it. Conservative lined up against Conservative, and in the background two Conservative MPs working hard also to ensure that the incinerator project does not go ahead.

The next development, however, introduced an element of anti-climax. The NCC Cabinet Scrutiny Committee duly met to consider the three call in requests. It soon became apparent that the members of the public who were to give evidence had only been provided with access late in the day to vital documents, and doubts about the legality of the meeting therefore arose. Fortunately, a motion to adjourn was narrowly pushed through and we now await a replay on 19th April. Until then, the NCC Cabinet decision remains suspended.

Now this is all very knockabout and lots of fun to watch, particularly if you hold to the old-fashioned view that party politics should really play no part in local government. But, dear readers, let us not lose sight of what this game is all about. At the heart of it is the decision, so far taken by a group of nine individuals, to award a PFI contract that will involve the expenditure of £670 million of public funds over twenty-five years to an Anglo/US consortium for the construction of a waste incinerator in respect of which there is, as yet, no evidence that will categorically guarantee an absence of any resultant detrimental impact on health and the environment. Furthermore, if that contract is entered into and planning permission is not then granted, NCC will face a compensation claim from the consortium capped at a generous £20.5 million.  This is, as they say, pretty serious stuff.

DRY RUN? Middle Eastern men on United Airlines start fight with flight attendant!

Posted: March 30, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: EnemyWithin-American | 26 Comments » NBC –At least one of the men walked back to the area of the plane where flight attendants work, laid down and began complaining of illness. That man engaged in “some sort of altercation” with the flight attendant, a passenger said.

At one point another man, who was pacing back and forth in the aisles, also got into a “verbal altercation” with a flight attendant, according to a passenger. Other men of “Middle Eastern descent” were passing notes and “writing in their notebooks,” a source told NBC Chicago.

United contacted officials at O’Hare and alerted them that the flight, which originated in Washington D.C., would stop. The flight was diverted to Chicago. Three passengers were removed from the aircraft, and the remaining passengers were re-screened through security, before being sent on their way.

Passengers arriving at Portland told NBC affiliate KGW they were aware of problems during the flight. Cliff Robinett described the incident as “strange goings on in the back of the plane.” Another passenger, Lydia Omelchenko, said the three individuals removed were “strange people.”

Robinett said the man was lying on the floor in the back of the plane did not speak English, and an interpreter had difficulty translating. Robinett said a doctor on the plane also tried to assist the passenger.

He said three men got off the plane, one of them ill. No one knew what was happening at the time, including TSA officials in Chicago, he said.

Stacy Niedermeyer of Southwest Portland was on the flight and said one of the men went to the back of the plane and “sat down on his bottom.” Some type of heated altercation took place.

Lydia Omelchenko said passengers knew something was amiss and were texting about the incident. She reported that two men, one of them young, left the plane and neither looked ill.

Other passengers interviewed did not wish to be identified. One passenger said a man with a backpack was pacing back and forth and got into an argument with a flight attendant.

UK MUSLIM THUG cuts off his puppy’s ear after a fight with his girlfriend

UK Examiner –(H/T Robin S) Wasim, of Kirkstone Avenue in Dalton, was jailed for 20 weeks after he was found guilty by Huddersfield magistrates yesterday after a trial. (ONLY 20 weeks?)

He had pleaded not guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. Sentencing him, chairman of the bench John Scott branded Wasim’s actions “despicable”.

“This was a very serious offence and could easily have resulted in the death of the dog,” he said. “You caused it extreme pain and suffering. It was a deliberate act and we find it despicable. “No right-thinking person would have done this.”

The court heard police were called by Wasim’s partner, Charlene Marshall, to White Hart Drive in Newsome on the evening of June 24 last year. Pc Susan Knowles told the magistrates Miss Marshall, who has a five-year-old child with Wasim, was visibly upset when she arrived, saying Wasim had injured the puppy.

Pc Knowles said: “She was very distressed, crying and visibly shaking. “She was obviously very upset and didn’t want to go back in the house because the sight of the puppy was far too upsetting for her. (And the sight of her Muslim boyfriend wasn’t?)

“I could hear the sound of the dog screaming and yelping inside.” Officers went in and found a dog basket covered in blood, with the puppy lying inside it. Pc Knowles added: “It looked to me as though its ear had been cut off entirely.”

At a previous hearing, the court had heard Wasim had given his Staffordshire bitch and her eight puppies to Miss Marshall to look after. The couple argued over his alleged drinking and Wasim threatened to cut off a puppy’s ear. Miss Marshall was out when Wasim attacked the dog.

The vet’s bill for treating the injured animal came to more than £400. It has now been given to new owners, along with the other eight dogs.

Miss Marshall had been due to give evidence as a witness in Wasim’s trial, but failed to turn up at an initial hearing. She was brought into court under a warrant at a later date, but claimed she did not remember the incident and could have been drunk at the time.

His solicitor, Marnat Ali, told magistrates there was not enough evidence to convict him. But the bench took less than half-an-hour to deliver their verdict and found Wasim guilty. As well as the prison sentence, they banned him from keeping a dog for five years. (They should have cut off his dick)
