Well, This Is A Turn-Up For The Books…

A Labour councillor has been rebuked for wrongfully accusing three people of racism.
*shocked face*
Councillor Pauline Gibson was censured for her behaviour by Haringey Borough Council’s standards committee on January 22.
The Noel Park ward councillor was found to have subjected the complainants to “unfair, unreasonable and demeaning” treatment by making accusations of racism and discrimination against them in emails.
And how does her party respond?
Haringey Labour Group said it could not comment at this time as its chief whip Cllr Pat Egan has not yet had a meeting with the council’s monitoring officer to discuss this issue.
I guess truthfulness isn’t a very high priority for the Labour Group after all. Fancy that.

Rebuked? I thought she'd be on for a promotion.

Just as long as they keep stirring the pot, keep shoving it in our faces.

Indeed!

"Just as long as they keep stirring the pot, keep shoving it in our faces."

Why not? Do they ever face any real consequence?
