LORD HENDERSON OF THIS ILK

The Dame is well-connected in the highest echelons of British society. When her Louis Quinze-style phone tinkles, it is often a top member of the Establishment picking her brains about preferments.

She was thrilled the other day to receive a call from a toff in the PM’s office. He told the Dame that Mr Henderson is likely to be ennobled for faultless public service.

There will be much gnashing of teeth from the commies in the north of the borough, but as the adage goes...”cream rises to the top”

    Lord Henderson, I am very pleased for you and no hard feelings about me trying to shaft you all the time. As you know, I have a very good sauce brand. Would it be a bit of a sauce to see if you can persuade the HoL catering committee to stock the sauce? Obviously, there will be something in it for you!
    PS I brought back some secret spices from my trip home(yes, Somalia is home)

    What a good idea, give Ian Henderson a peerage. Viscount Henderson of Hornton Street in the Royal Borough of Kensington has a touch of classiness about it.

    Emma would find it so obscene,
    She would turn a socialist shade of green,
    She would be the most envious person in the district,
    A peerage would really take the biscuit,
    She would be red and green, crimson and mint,
    Scarlet and emerald, maroon and sage
    Ruby and olive, chartreuse and wine……

    🎵Any dream will do.

    I was passing St Marks Grove just now and could hear screaming and shouting coming from one of the properties. Are these things related ?

      Would you care to tell us the names of “the dregs” in Kensington and Chelsea?

      I love that term “the dregs of society.”

      It reminds me of Old Steptoe. He obtained the alcohol optics in his living room by visiting the pubs in the area of Oil Drum Lane where the syphoned off the dregs in the used booze bottles until the had a full bottle of gin, rum and whisky.

      So, now you have a working definition of the term, the “dregs.”

      All that needs to be done is to name the dregs of society in Kensington today?

    Local who cares about decency

    Brilliant! Voters in North Ken rejected him so he’ll accept an unelected position instead. He seems the type. Never you mind, people will be in touch with the Lords Appointments Commission to inform them of his past misdemeanours. That will guarantee he is never allowed to set foot in the Lords.

      Manny Shinwell, the Socialist, set foot in the Lords and he had done time in Calton Prison for intimidating scabs in Glasgow during a strike.

      Lord Archer was only suspended for five years after he was done for perverting the course of justice.

      Ian is the Saint of Social Housing. He will get in.

      Question: Is the “Local who cares about decency” the woman who went to inspect the newly refurbished flats at the Sutton Dwellings in Chelsea with a tape measure in her bag?

      Sounds like it.

      She complained about the pokiness of the flats. She blamed these newly refurbished small flats on Ian Henderson instead of blaming the Housing Association which refurbished them. She even commented on one tenant’s sofa being up against the kitchen sink and knew just how many centimetres were between the two. Well, you cannot stop tenants putting unsuitable furniture in their kitchenettes.

      She comes across as a very bitter woman with a grudge against a great man who knocks her politically in to cocked hats and, who even managed to save a housing estate from the demolition ball.

        I have lived in Kensington for 25 years. Ian Henderson is the best Labour Councillor that has ever served on the Council. He is not like some of those on the lethal left who think they know what is best for the plebs. He rolls his sleeves up, gets on with it, keeps in touch with people who ask for his help until the matter is resolved.

          I don’t suppose Dent Coad owns a handbag. She would put the tape measure in her ruck sack.

    Parasites on the Hornton Street gravy train.

    Some Labour Councillors are just on the Council for the money they get every month. Dent Coad got paid twice for representing the people in Golborne ward – she got her parliamentary salary – fair do’s she earned that. But she also got a further very generous payment of over £1,000 a month from the Council for representing the very same people of Golborne ward – paid twice over when everyone else was affected by austerity. Ian Henderson would never be as greedy as that.
