Local councillor, Nick McLean, sides with the local police & then 'censors' opinions of his constituent who is currently being persecuted by the local police.

As you know back in early November, I sent counsellor Nick McLean, of the local Conservative Group for Cannon Hill, 100 tweets! , (Retweated comments by others made here).

I did this because on Wednesday 18th October this gentleman faced my local community in council Chamber, instead of the expected policing update, where he proudly boasted about the effectiveness of our local police force, the same local police force who couldn't even be bothered to send a representative to this scheduled meeting of the Morden community forum.

There has been a recent development, whoever is in control of his account has just yesterday blocked me on Twitter, or  "X" or whatever it's called this week.....

Ironically, had I not been blocked by this representative of the people, I would have likely just forgotten all about these tweets to him and nothing else would have happened.... But now even more people will know about it, not less.

This turn of events is interesting for a number of reasons:

1) It demonstrates conclusively that I did have an impact, I mean this is still acknowledgement of the fact that somebody had to go out of their way in order to block me and somebody believed that was a politically advantageous thing to do. 

2) This only further helps to solidify and legitimizes my complaints about the police force, I mean, if everything was all hunky dory, as they would like us to believe, then why would they even care about 100 tweets from a petition that doesn't matter? If they truly believed there was nothing to this they would not have bothered.

3) As an elected local political representative, he has a duty to make a good faith effort to engage with the wards constituents.

Not only has this not happened, this representative has quite literally done the exact opposite opposite! Remember this black happened months after the public form meeting and weeks after I attempted to contact him privately for a meeting.

The funny thing is that in his attempt to sensor my opinions, which actually weren't even my opinions just retweets of others comments on the situation,  has not only resulted in me writing another update about it which will be made into a video and I will be contacting the local press about this too.....

However, had I not been blocked by this representative of the people, I would have likely forgotten all about these tweets to him and nothing else would have happened.... Remember this all happened back in November!

This sort of thing is known as the Streisand effect, here is a nice video on the subject: https://youtu.be/n4bxi17P9bA?si=92Ja0NBdq8K23Eod
