Storm in a teacup proves Labour are unfit to run Great Britain

What is the most important issue for hard working families in Finchley and Golders Green today? Labour seem to think an ex tory being issued with a membership card in error. the whole liebour machine has been obsessed with nothing else. explanations demanded, wild accusations made. while they froth our team have been doorknocking and delivering leaflets getting great responses on the doorstep. we say STOP THE MANSION TAX!!!!!! LIEBOUR have nothing to offer and they didnt even get  a candidate who lives in the area that is how bad they are

Labour blogger admits she's a champagne socialist

For several years Theresa Musgrove, who writes blogs and tweets as Mrs Angry/Brokenbarnet, has been trolling Mike and other local Conservatives. she recently left a tweet here admitting what we've all known for years, that like most of her Labour colleagues in Barnet, she's a champagne socialist. She said "It is true to say that I am a champagne socialist, but I buy my own champagne"!!!!! We thoroughly recommend her blog for those of you with insomnia, we constantly marvel at how little can be said at such great length. She seems to have developed a bit of a crush on poor Russell Brand in her latest effort. we can only assume that all of that bubbly has sent the poor old dear a bit squiffy!!!!  perhaps her blog should be renamed desperate housewives. 

How much money has Mike Freer saved you?

If you live in Finchley or Golders Green and are a hard working Council tax payer, did you know that your local MP, Mike Freer has saved you a fortune!!!!!!! Many families have benefitted from years of zero rate council tax increases from Barnet Council. I am sure we are all glad to have a few extra pounds in our pockets. What many local voters don't realise is that this a direct result of all the hard work Mike Freer, your local MP, has done during his long career. Mike was elected as an MP in 2010 and has worked very hard ever since to represent local people, but before he was elected Mike was the leader of Barnet Council. When Mike took over running the council in 2006, he was horrified at the way things were done. The unions called the shots and the council was run for the benefit of the workforce rather than being a lean and efficient machine, serving the needs of residents in the twenty first century. Wheras previous leaders had simply gone along with the status quo, Mike took on the vested interests, the unions and the siren voices!!!

Mike launched a program of root and branch reform, called the One Barnet program. This had a single mission, to drive down costs. And it has worked spectacularly. The union power in Barnet Council has been broken and now the council serves residents rather than the other way round!!!!! Even better, this has saved millions of pounds which has means YOU PAY LESS TAX!!!!!!

Have you noticed? If you are a normal, hard working resident of Finchley and Golders Green, we bet the only thing you've noticed is that your Council tax bill has not gone up year on year, like the sad old days when Labour ran the council for the benefit of the their paymasters in the unions!!!!!!!

If you are gratedul for all the extra cash Mike has put in your pocket over the last few years, then now is your chance to say thank you. Why not get in touch with Mike and help him get re-elected. Labour and the unions need Mike to lose to take power in the country. This will mean higher taxes and a return to the economics of the madhouse. All of the work done by the Conservatives to put the country back on its feet will be wasted.

Barnet stays blue at council elections

Congratulations to all of our Conservative Councillors who have been elected in Barnet at the recent elections. We bucked the trend in London and the blue flag is still flying high!

We are especially happy to see such a huge endorsement for Mike. Of the three Barnet Constituencies, the results in Finchley and Golders Green were fantastic for us. Ours was the only constituency in the borough where we gained seats, at the expense of the hapless LibDums! Sadly we couldn't get rid of the last one, missing out by nine votes in Childs Hill!

Mike said after the results were declared.

“The key at the next general election will be about re-electing a local MP with a strong track record of being accessible, effective and efficient in their constituency duties and electing a government that has fixed the economy for Miliband and those who wrecked it.  Cameron or Miliband; Freer or Sackman, and Labour will get a bloody nose.”

 Yet again Mike has made a huge difference with his tireless campaigning and hard work. Yet again the people of Finchley and Golders Green have shown they like what Mike is doing. It shows what happens when you have an MP who is prepared to roll up his sleeves and put the elbow grease in! Mike put a huge amount of personal effort into the campaign! This work paid handsome dividends and ensures that we are still running the town hall!!! Roll on the general election in 2015.

Mike takes on the the 38 degree bullies!

Mike has received wide acclaim for standing up to a campaign of bullying from the 38 degrees website. The highly respected blogger Guido Fawkes has lavished praise on Mike for his courageous stand. Read all about it on the Guido Fawkes website. http://order-order.com/2013/03/11/mike-freer-v-38-degrees/

Common sense previals at Friern Barnet Library

Common sense has prevailed. Barnet Council have been given the go ahead to evict a bunch of squatters who have taken over a council building. what was their defence? That slinging them out on their ear breached their human rights under European law. It is high time that Great Britain reminded Europe that we are a sovereign country with our own set of laws! This nonsense has gone on long enough! The crocodile tears of all the bleeding heart liberals on twitter was a joy to behold! In the words of another Mrs T  Rejoice Rejoice! and three cheers for Mike for his stirling work banning squatting in residential property. lets hope he extends the criminal law to council property as well!

The truth about the One Barnet programme

The Friends of Mike Freer are aware that many local residents have concerns regarding the One Barnet programme. These concerns are largely based on the rather inaccurate media coverage and the concerted publicity campaign, run by the local Trades Unions. This campaign is based on the premise that nothing can ever change in local government and the only thing that matters is keeping safe the jobs of union members. 

In reality, the One Barnet programme has seen the council look at all the services the council provide, to see if they can be improved and be as cost effective as possible. They have been examined to see if there are better ways of running them. I am sure you will agree that this is a good thing in the current finical crisis we face.  

A good example is how the council are now sharing legal services with Harrow council (A Labour run authority). The council also have wonderful community and charity led community coaches who are making some great differences in our communities.  Some critics have tried to portray Barnet Council as ideologically driven, but the council has brought waste services back in house, as this proved to be the most cost effective solution.  

Of course some services will be more cost effective to outsource. The service providers will provide huge investment to our services, money the council doesn't have, whilst improving the services and keeping council tax down. Isn't this what sensible Councils are meant to do?

The lies of Labour exposed

If you have ever wondered what the Labour party would do to win an election, you need look no further than the Barnet Eye blog. This is run by a character called Roger Tichborne. If you don't know his history, Mr Tichborne was a Labour party member for many years. Sadly for Mr Tichborne the Labour party had moved on from his brand of swivel eyed politics. In a desperate attempt to raise his profile, he decided to stand as a Lib Dem in Mill Hill ward in the 2010 council elections. He couldn't actually bring himself to resign from the party he loved, so actually stood as a candidate for the Lib Dems whilst retaining membership of Labour!!!! When the Labour party found out, they kicked him out and banned him from membership for five years, in accordance with their rulebook. Sadly for Mr Tichborne, his bid to become a Lib Dem Councillor also floundered. The previously safe Lib Dem seat tumbled and Mr Tichborne finished bottom of the three Lib Dems in the polls.

Mr Tichborne has been sulking ever since. In his efforts to suck up to the Labour party, he has published ever more misleading blogs. He even made a couple of films which no one has ever seen about how nasty the local Conservatives are!!! He has managed to fall out with all of the other local bloggers, even prompting one to threaten court action over abusive tweets!!!  Whilst other bloggers attend the town hall, check invoices and trawl through FoI requests, Mr Tichborne simply listens to those charming voices in his head for his inspiration!

The local Labour party see Mr Tichborne as a useful idiot. They occasionally dangle the prospect of lifting the ban on his membership (without ever having the slightest intention of actually doing it) in return for publishing some wild and whacky blog, making grossly misleading claims.

The lastest of these appeared on his blog yesterday, claiming that Mike is responsible for the destruction of 300 jobs in Barnet!!!! The spurious argument Tichborne used was the fact that Mike was the leader of Barnet Council in 2009. It is a matter of public record that Mike ceased to be involved then. He became an MP in 2010 and has dedicated himself to representing the people of Finchley and Golders Green. Since Mike stepped down as leader of Barnet Council, there have been three leaders. Whilst it is true that Mike initiated a program of efficiency and transformation at the council (what sensible leader wouldn't), to claim he is responsible for the final plan, which emerged three years later,  is clearly ridiculous.  It would be like blaming John Major for the credit crunch in 2008 because he'd been prime minister before Tony Blair.

The truth of the matter is that all decisions about One Barnet are matters solely for Barnet Council, which Mike left over two and a half years ago. Whatever Mike may think has no bearing on what the council actually does. There can only be one reason for such a claim being made. Liebour believe that Mike is doing a good job and they will resort to absolutely anything to try and undermine him, even if it means having to lie in the gutter with the likes of Roger Tichborne!!!

The King of Bling is Rampant !!!!!!!!

For those of who have not had the pleasure of reading Brian Coleman's blog, the latest one is not to be missed !

"Get a Life!".

The King has been in great form this week, wiping the floor with all and sundry, in the council chamber and in his blog!!!! It has given the local party a massive lift to see him back to his best !!!!!

Long live the king !!!!!

Open Letter to Barnet Alliance for Public Services

Dear Barnet Alliance for Public Services,

In response to your letter to all Barnet Councillors. It may have escaped your notice, but Barnet Council has major funding issues at present. The government has cut grants and we are committed to keeping council tax as low as possible. We believe this to be the best way to help hard pressed household budgets.

Whilst public service trades unions cleary have a vested interest in achieving the best possible deal from the Barnet taxpayer, it is the responsibility of the council to get the best possible deal for everybody. By making efficiencies, more services can be provided. When services are provided by the private sector, quality of service guarantees can be built in. These guarantee improvements to the quality of services provided and ensure that services improve.

Trades unions in Barnet have singularly failed to acknowledge the level of planning and due diligence which has been spent making sure One Barnet delivers the best possible deal for the Barnet taxpayer. Much has been made, by trades union sympathisers, of the risks associated with outsourcing. They have said nothing of the risks of not making efficiencies and the resulting service cuts. In short, if the council simply adopted the no cuts ever mantra that Barnet trades unions have publicly promoted, then the council would run out of money and be able to provide no services at all.

Whilst some staff may lose their jobs or work for different employers, it is vital that the people who need services from the council continue to receive them. They don't care whether the person who delivers that service is a council employee or works for the private sector. We call on the Barnet Alliance for Public Services to acknowledge the reality of the economic situation and to stop burying their heads in the sand.

The Barnet Alliance for Public Services has failed to produce a single shred of evidence that it has any solutions to the funding crisis facing Barnet Council. Until such time as they can propose a credible alternative, they should stop bothering the hard working councillors of Barnet council with silly emails. 

Yours Sincerely

Mrs T

Apologies from Mike

Mike sends his apologies to everyone disappointed by the non appearance of the mobile constituency surgery at Church End yesterday. Mike's battle bus had a dead engine. Mike has received much praise this week, with culmination of his campaign to outlaw squatting in private residences. This hugely popular piece of legislation now means that if you get squatters in your house when you go on holiday, you can kick them out.

Isn't it odd that some people think that such a law is a bad idea?

Great news, Brian Coleman has started a blog !!!!!!!!

The most controversial man in Barnet politics, Brian Coleman, has started a blog. This is great news. Unlike the lefty blogrags,  written by unhappy people with nothing better to do, spouting endlessly long leftwing blathering, Brians blog promises to be witty and incisive.We thoroughly recommend it as an antidote to the miserable and turgid prose of the Barnet busybodies and malcontents.

Mike marches in solidarity with Finchley Cypriot community

It was great to see Mike out showing solidarity with his constituents against the illegal Turkish occupation of Cyprus yesterday, for the mass march through central London. Mike is a stalwart supporter of our community. We thank him for his unwavering support.

The Friends of Mike Freer - A Statement

Following coverage in the local press concerning this website, I would like to take this opportunity to state that this site is not the official website or blog for Mike Freer MP. We apologise to Mike for any embarrassment which such an impression may have caused.

This website is run by local people who admire the work done by Mike. It strikes us as rather strange that people seem to object to local people supporting their MP. We have received many accolades from local people who appreciate the work we do adding some balance to the Barnet political blogging scene, which is overrun by left wing trotskyite activists. It is a free country and we will carry on praising the good work done by Mike Freer for the people of Finchley and Golders Green

Mike tipped for stardom by Conservative Home !

Mike has been selected as one of 20 Conservative MP's who should be on TV more, by the influential Conservative Home blog. We agree !

Mike attacks Livingstone comments on the BBC

Seasons greetings

Mike and all the team send seasons greetings to all our friends. We wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.

lay off attacking barnet council staff

we have seen the local bloggers whipping themselves into a frenzy of excitement. over the news that barnet council sought to contact the ICO. barnet attempted to stop one of its employees being harrassed. where is the voice of reason. the poor man was just trying to do his job. the bloggers may not agree that barnet council need someone in that role, but is it necessary to question his faith and draw attention to his personal website. the so called bloggers have recently criticised barnet for its attitude to its employees. isnt it a bit rich to then criticise the council for sticking up for one of them. by all means knock the council if you feel you must. just lay off the staff.

Mike threatened at constituency surgery

You may have seen this report about an incident at Mike's surgery yesterday.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-15508697

Mike issued this statement following the incident

Events at my surgery on fri in no way represents the mainstream majority at my local Mosque. I will continue to work for all constituents.

Mike was extremely frustrated that the actions of a few prevented him from helping many people who had turned up for his advice. Mike observed that it is clear such people are not interested in democracy, free speech or the rights of others. Mike was heartened by the support from the vast majority of people at the Mosque. Most of those present were extremely upset that a group of people, many not local, had turned up to cause trouble.

The tricks of the Trots !

Never trust a lefty ! Our lovable loony leftys organised organised a "residents forum", inviting all of our MP's and Councillors and then made a song and dance because no Conservatives came. They scream that this shows that we are not interested in big society in Barnet. What they didn't tell anyone is that they deliberately organised it during the Conservative Conference, when we were all away. Sadly some well meaning and sincere residents were taken in.



If anyone has any issues they want to discuss, that were raised at this meeting, please come to one of Mike's regular surgeries and he'll be only too happy to help.
