Wigan Council illegally sack a Cllr

It's January and you can tell it's Panto time.

So there one of the opposition Cllr who challenges this Labour Council and their Chief Executive ( yet another illegal post - a Chief Executive cannot be Chief Executive of a political party but this CE doesn't seem to mind that she breaks a few laws and lies through her teeth too)

However, Steve Jones an Independent Cllr for Bryn Ward,who suffers from depression at present and is on medication for this - and the council know this had a personal matter that worsened his depression. The Council got him in and said, "resign, go on you can do it." But he had been named and shamed by the Council for recently owing them money and he said I can't till I pay all the money back to you guys. Council is now in a fix. If he resigns then this would be the case. Scratching their heads the head of Legal Services Brendan Whitworth and Head of democratic service Christine Jones, say, "I know we have a plan quit on the 20th Feb?"

"Why then?"
"Well that is when the debt will be paid off. "

So under pressure by way of if he didn't resign their would go on and create more stress for him by leaking false news to the press. So he said I will resign on the 20th Feb then. Off he goes and the Council staff are jumping for joy, Yeah we can get a bonus now and we can hopefully get another Labour puppet in who does as they are told and not challenge us.

So the Council officers told him for them to keep the deal he had to announce his intention ( note this word )  on his Facebook Page. And so he does - what an idiot!

After getting back on his medication and back with his partner who he lives with they say what just happened. His constituents get in  touch and say don't do it and you will be missed. So he decides he will not carry out his intention of resigning as agreed on the 20th Feb especially as the council are leaking false stories left right and centre. Now you can see it the Council officers are getting mad their plan has back fired. Damn damn and more damn we are going to have to tell the wicked witch of Wigan - Donna Hall Chief Executive. Typical bad witch style she jumps on the email and says tough you have resign and I am saying that's it -get over it! O no it isn't!

When you look at the email trail, which this blog has, then it is clear that the Council knew he had not resigned and it was ONLY his intention. and the head of legal services had confirmed this in an email. But he can't tell the wicked witch of Wigan other wise he too might get the sack - just like the last head of Legal Services. Also the Council even confirmed to the paper that the Cllr was resigning on the 20th. The Council only said he has gone now once he had informed them that he was not going to stand down on the 20th January 2018.

So the fun and games will go on and it will be interesting - will the wicked witch get her wish.? O will there be a fairy godmother out there?
