My regular baiting of Rehman Chishti has finally reaped rewards. A source has not only informed me of this excellent Medway Tory Watch website, but also reveals that the local Tory Party has been stunned by the investigation of senior Councillor Paul Foster for child porn offences.
The Medway Tory Councillor’s investigation has thrown two Conservative Associations into apoplexy. Both Gillingham and Rochester are considered to be “ultra-marginals” by the Tory high command (the Opus Dave inner sphinctum) and the defeat of incumbents Paul Clarke and Bob Marshall-Andrews are essential if the Conservatives are to make any headway at the next election. As such, the two seats are fertile territory for the best of the best of the A List and they had just opened their selection processes.
However, both constituencies are organised from Cllr Paul Foster’s offices and the computers have been collected by the police for some thorough examination. Where this leaves the selections is in doubt and it is unknown whether any other local politicians have been interviewed in this matter.
Cllr Foster is very much interested in the Tory parliamentary selection as he is quoted here as having recently told the Politics Show;
“First of all, you could chop a leg off then you’d be disabled, secondly you could declare the fact you are gay, and if there’s a chance of having a word with Michael Jackson and changing your colour then you’d be fine.”

The Kentish Tories do have a bit of a record. Former Dartford BC leader Councillor Kenneth Leadbeater somehow managed to avoid imprisonment recently for child porn offences.
