PROPAGANDA & HISTORICAL REVISIONISM

Reporter/Editor Steve Kannon was present at the Woolwich Council public meeting on Tuesday May 10/11. He heard for himself three reasons why WOOLWICH COUNCIL "rebooted" me. Either he's forgotten them or today's Observer should more clearly indicate that it is Mayor Cowan speaking, not Steve Kannon. It had NOTHING to do with my relationship with my fellow CPAC members. The reasons were one blog (here), a couple of e-mails to & from CPAC members and my presentation to Council that evening. I had been working very hard with Dan, Lynne, Vivienne and trying unsucessfully to engage Julie-Anne. The other two were mostly unavailable for business reasons (Ron & David). Indeed I had e-mails from two of my fellow CPAC members supporting my presence and right to speak to Woolwich Council. This week's Observer is now on-line.

Other than that, today's article in the Observer is factual and accurate. Indeed three members have bitten the dust after waiting patiently for six months to be publicly appointed to CPAC. Three out of seven didn't even make it to the first public meeting NOW scheduled for June 8/11, courtesy of Dan, Vivienne, Lynne and myself. Without our pushing it would have been July at the earliest.

No surprise that Mayor Cowan is looking for more recruits. Yes my absence was one of the demands nay ultimatums of Pat M. and Susan B. however Mayor Cowan did a splendid and appropriate job of burning those bridges. Let's see if he and they can kiss and make up. Do not forget the real issues! Chemtura's imminent reverification (CIAC) and removal of Dioxins (Agent Orange) from GP1 & 2. The fact that either Council or SMT (Snr. Managment Team) are "handling" this is cause for alarm. CPAC, once again you are being pushed aside allowing Council to be in charge of Chemtura issues. You are the fall guys. Chemtura will be "reverified" and you CPAC will take the blame and heat down the road when Chemtura screws up again, as they inevitably will.
