This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

Appeasement Anyone?

History shows that appeasement is poor policy. Even the greatest supporters of Neville Chamberlain's 'Peace for our time' pronouncement after the Munich Conference in September 1938 have to fall back on the argument that it bought time for Britain to strengthen its armed forces and economy before the outbreak of war.

Chamberlain did, in fact, say that 'we must hope for the best but prepare for the worst'.

So just what is it that appeasement of Colin Barnett over forced local government amalgamations enables Vincent to do? How does it help the community of Vincent to prepare for the worst?

Vincent Council appears to have put all its eggs in one basket without having a Plan B.
