Ming dumped and John Collins Manager of the Month

Westminster was rocked to the core! ...well there were a few ripples anyway!, when it came as no surprise to hear that Ming had been toppled! All apparently his own decision, I can just imagine Ming at the edge of the precipice with the point of many sharp daggers at his back and Simon Hughes lovingly whispering to him " Ming it's your decision!" The Lib Dems really are falling apart, with stubbornly low opinion polls, poor election results this May, on the back of bad results last year, especially in the northern parts of Southwark!!

In my view this is a good development for the Labour Party as the Lib Dems will now make their inevitable jump to the right, leaving clear blue water between us and the Tories and Lib Dems. A new shiny right wing Lib Dem Party will be welcomed by most of the Southwark Lib Dems not to mention my Blogging friend Andy Mayer!!

I cant wait till the elections next year and beyond especially, the General Election campaign in Bermondsey and Old Southwark and the Southwark Elections in 2010 where they will be bounced out of power once and for all and then we can set about clearing up the mess that they will have left behind!! Talking of which I see that two more experienced Officers, Chris Bull and Chris Horn have left the authority, we received an email telling us that Chris Horn had already gone!!! What on earth is going on in that Town Hall ??? Talk about rats deserting a sinking ship!! Even the ruling Lib Dem/Tory coalition must see that there is now a serious problem but perhaps a strike amongst Housing staff will wake them up?? WE NEED TO GET THEM AS FAR AWAY FROM ANY POWER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!!



Good to see John Collins get the Clydsedale Manager of the Month for September and turn down the Managers Job at QPR!!

With plenty of ex-Hibs players in the Scotland first team and plenty more current Hibs players in the under 21 and youth squads he has a good group of players around him and Hibs along side Motherwell,Hearts and Kilmarnock, take most of the credit for their home grown talent that they have developed over the past years. Hibs new £6M Training Centre is further committment to this. pity that the big two Celtic and Rangers could not invest a tiny amount of their resources,preferring instead to "hoover up" players form the other clubs at a knock down rate!!!

I think you will find, Cllr Friary, that in the current climate at Southwark, it is inexperienced, incompetent consultants with absolutely no experience of regeneration in favour rather than dedicated professionals such as Chris Horn, whose departure had little to do with choice.

Hardly a rat leaving a sinking ship.
