Robert Jenrick must think we are as stupid as he is
Robert Jenrick: his attempt at misdirection has been hopelessly inept. What a shame he doesn’t even have the wit to realise he has been caught out.
The latest chapter in the Westferry development corruption saga demonstrates clearly the lack of talent on the Tory benches.
Z-list human being (let alone politician) Robert Jenrick is now saying his decision to grant permission for Richard Desmond’s development adhered to “natural justice”, as it allowed the developer to avoid paying a levy that he thought should not apply.
There’s just one problem with that:
Both the local authority and the Independent Planning Inspectorate had already said the development should be refused – because it did not meet acceptable planning standards.
It didn’t matter at the time that Desmond wanted to avoid the £45 million levy – although he should certainly have been made to pay it if the application had not been rush-approved by Jenrick to beat its imposition.
The point is that Jenrick’s decision to approve it was corrupt because it did not meet the appropriate criteria.
That’s why he should be removed from office.
After last December’s election it should be possible to replace him with any number of similarly talentless backbench drones.

‘Z-list human being (let alone politician) Robert Jenrick is now saying his decision to grant permission for Richard Desmond’s development adhered to “natural justice”, as it allowed the developer to avoid paying a levy that he thought should not apply.’
‘Both the local authority and the Independent Planning Inspectorate had already said the development should be refused – because it did not meet acceptable planning standards.’
So Jenrick this means I can claim ‘I am not going to pay that parking fine/court fine because I believe in “natural justice” and therefore these fines do not apply to me! I’m sure your fascist tory government would not agree with me but because you Jenrick are a stupid fascist tory MP you think being a corrupt MP is ‘natural justice!’
Stupid is as stupid as!
“After last December’s election it should be possible to replace him with any number of similarly talentless backbench drones.” shouldn’t that read “talentless and corrupt drones”?
That is a matter for each reader’s conscience!
