I’m not normally given to praising Barnet Conservatives, but I would like to recommend one for an OBE.
I believe Cllr Kate Salinger is an example to all of us for her principled stand against the outrageous pay rises that her colleagues have awarded themselves.
It is now quiet clear she was put under extreme pressure to back down. She’s clearly made of sterner stuff than her lily-livered colleagues.
David Cameron should award her an OBE for a lifetime’s work as a Conservative councillor.
This would send a strong message to her colleagues that she, rather than they, represent the values which politicians of all colours should aspire to.
