Brian Coleman AM, Cllr Bertha Joseph and Standards

Brian Coleman, the Tory Barnet & Camden Assembly member, is coming up for a Standards Committee Hearing in Barnet today. Being the subject of a complaint is something he has in common with Kensal Green's sole Conservative councillor Bertha Joseph, who he sits with on the LFEPA.



In Brian's case the suggestion is that he was extremely offensive to a member of the public. My main surprise in this is that it is a subject of a complaint. If Brian Coleman were to have an official complaint every time he is offensive, he would probably get several each week. He routinely says offensive things about almost everyone.



At least Brian's complaint is being dealt with relatively speedily. Cllr Bertha Joseph's complaint was first made in January 2008, and is only now getting within shouting distance of a formal hearing. Indeed the original complainant is now dead. It is clearly Brent's answer to Jarndyce vs Jarndyce.



I wonder what Boris Johnson's reaction will be if either of his LFEPA appointees are found to have done wrong? After all, a long time ago he was supposed to be elected on a platform of cleaning up City Hall.
