BobFM: I allow for the fact that you are something of a cultural cuckoo; having not yet been able to differentiate between the illegal, (illicit) and that which is capable of being known (elicit); a bully, who constantly seeks the approval of the 'management' by the willing endorsement of all their deeds; however, that will not serve you well in the long-term. There is no substitute for courage, and there is no substitute for honesty in all its forms and manifestations. Obviously, you won't agree with that, confident that the lack of principle and sensitivity, which has served you so well in the past, will continue in the future.
If you believe that the party is in a stronger shape to-day, than it would have been if honesty rather than concealment, had been the central principle of our management, you would believe anything. The age structure of this party is conspicuously old, fortunately that may be changing, but what I say is still correct. Members must have no doubt that when they give financial aid to the party, those donations are secure. That is not the case, and financial irregularities have been tolerated by the leadership for years. Likewise, when they vote in Leadership, MEP candidate selections, or NEC elections the final result must be an honest one. Those two specific areas can be - and should have been for years- placed into the hands of independent agencies. With the possible exception of yourself, there is no doubt that well-founded concerns as to our trustworthiness still exist. Do something to change things for the better; your role as resident cheer-leader is sickening. A democracy can survive with a few of your kind, but when they become a significant number, the evidence strongly suggests that it will collapse. Think on these things.
