WAR OF WORDS
A stinging war of words has erupted between Ealing council’s Conservative leader Jason Stacey and his opposition Labour counterpart Sonika Nirwal.
Jason says: “It is really sad that we have such a weak and lazy opposition leader in Ealing. In the two years I was leader of the opposition, I hardly missed a cabinet meeting.�
Sonika has hit back saying: “The Tories want us to be there so they can be gung-ho about their policies. They have spent money on new microphones and name plates, and they feel it’s less of a show without us.�
Hopefully, this war of words will melt away, so both of them can really concentrate on what matters to the people of Ealing – you know those put-upon council taxpayers. What do you think?
Perhaps, they need to take a lesson from Ealing’s top bus driver Eamon Sweeney, who’s driven three million passengers and travelled 275,000 miles in the last 14 years across the borough.
He’s been shortlisted as one of the six best drivers to take the title of Top London Bus Driver to be announced on November 7. The bloke’s totally dedicated to his job and the Gazette wishes him well.
And finally, well done to the winners of our Billy Elliot musical show and the Monarch airline ticket competition. List of winners is in the Guide section of the Gazette. And don’t forget we’ve got a new competition to win show tickets for the West End musical Footloose.
And talking about footloose, it’s Friday and I’m too about to become footloose and fancy free!
