| Usual selective memory from Robin Taylor, who dishonestly posts under a nom de plume without any criticism for so doing by his own political allies. The ICG entered a working alliance with the Hounslow Residents' Group (HRG) some 17 years ago because it had some common ground - the HRG was an independent group seeking to give a voice to ordinary residents in areas of the borough in which we didn't operate. The HRG was a borough-wide organisation and it made sense for them not to be in competition with us in and around Isleworth. We parted company with the HRG - completely and very publicly - when it became clear to us that the two groups had very differing views on the kind of issues to which Robin refers, to an extent that they were unlikely ever to be reconciled (see http://philandrews.blogspot.com/2010/08/ray-ferguson.html for more details). This is the bit that Robin chooses to leave out because it doesn't suit his agenda. I couldn't be arsed to do the research, but my bet is that you will find all the quotes Robin gives (assuming they are genuine) were made after the HRG and ICG went their separate ways. When one understands Robin's M.O. it is easy to see why he is held in such esteem by the local Labour Party, a fact that is evident despite their occasional protestations to the contrary by the fact that they never, ever criticise his method (with the honourable exception of Theo Dennison, who was slaughtered by one of his own colleagues for it). Quite simply, they are creatures cut from the same cloth and thoroughly deserve each other. |
