CITY’S STANDARDS COMMITTEE ABOLISHED

Posted on March 25, 2021 at 19:00 0 Comments

In January 2018, a resident councillor of unimpeachable integrity successfully challenged the City of London Corporation on behalf of her constituents. Two weeks later, the Corporation referred her for prosecution which proved to be entirely groundless, and for two prejudiced hearings by its Standards Committee.

CITY CORPORATION’S PROPAGANDA AGAINST GOLDEN LANE

Posted on May 11, 2020 at 14:56 0 Comments

Below is the text of an email that I sent today to all members of the Court of Common Council (the City Corporation’s elected governing body). It covers two subjects.

 

First, it satirises the lack of democracy in the City Corporation. As 80% of members of the Court of Common Council are elected mainly by tiny numbers of generally uninterested business voters - a system unique to the City - the Corporation cannot claim to be a democratic institution.
