Thank you everyone who has shared, commented and complained about the conduct of the Cllrs at the Warwickshire County Council scrutiny meeting. I've been made aware that Cllr Golby has claimed that the sharing of her comments and the offensive and hurt this has caused is "harassment". She blocked... show more

@Warwickshire_CC The sad thing is this isn’t an isolated incident. I have no doubt that comments like this are commonplace amongst members and officers in areas up and down the country. It’s concerning that people are feeling so emboldened to publicly externalise such inner thoughts and feelings.

@Warwickshire_CC I agree, it was said without hesitation and without challenge in a public and recorded meeting. It's very obviously the culture :(

@Warwickshire_CC Being held accountable is part of the Nolan Principles councillors agree to as part of their role. They can not claim harassment every time they are held accountable especially when their public comments are questionable.

Agree completely! It's disingenuous to conflate rightful scrutiny with harassment. Harassment and abuse does happen and we need to make sure politicians are safe. We also need to protect the publics right to hold their representatives to account and that means not conflating genuine criticism and scrutiny with harassment.

@Warwickshire_CC Let's not forget that those complaining that these comments have been shared are the people making the comments in public office, carrying out public duties. They have been shared for public interest, locally and for the wider disabled community.

@Warwickshire_CC Truly shocked by this clip It would be good to see the full discussion Considering their evident lack of knowledge of the area any point did they bring in an expert to help them understand?

I think the full video is still on the WCC website. There was some input from other Councillors & the Officers rebutted some comments made (a clip of Nigel Minns is in the thread). Unfortunately, the chair didn't intervene to caution the Cllrs about their language or to challenge why the Cllrs were so unprepared & lacking knowledge about the area they were there to scrutinise.

@Warwickshire_CC Thanks for sharing. I’m disgusted and saddened by what I have watched. I’m ashamed to have sat with those councillors. I made a point of bringing up CAMHS & SEND issues repeatedly, discussing personal details about the many unresolved problems that they openly mock & dismiss.

@Warwickshire_CC Thank you for speaking out Dan and for raising these issues!
