The question is left begging, and we hope that the answer is definitely no. Either way it leaves a bad smell in ones nose when a Councillor uses their position to promote a business under their official title. Kingstone usually doesn’t endorse anyone or anything unless he’s getting something out of it. So we do wonder whether this window company, gave Councillor Kingstone a cheeky discount for having promoted them to his followers. As we say, we hope the answer is no, but how would we know, we certainly don’t trust a word that comes out of the man’s mouth even if he said he didn’t.
Don’t get us wrong, we have no problem with this window company, whom we are not going to name as they’ll end up being in the Google results for this site. We think they are very worthy of praise and the murals on the side of their building are always poignant and fantastic. We have no beef with them whatsoever. What we do have beef with is Kingstone using his position and thinking he’s some kind of social media influencer. It is a complete overstretch and an abuse of his title. This from a man who preaches morals and values as if he invented them.
It hasn’t escaped our notice that our Mayor has promoted a takeaway establishment recently, although this was certainly not on the scale of the glowing sales pitch from Kingstone above. Not only that, we actually believe our current Mayor is above such shenanigans and is a respectable person, again unlike Kingstone.
Kingstones’ promotion of a business in this way is to use one of his favourite words about us, is somewhat grubby. He of course would not see the problem. It is also lovely to see that in this current climate, Kingstone likes to flex about all of his windows and doors being replaced, online. No doubt something many of his followers can only dream of. This from a man who wants to scrap Councillors allowances, but only really because he’s privileged and doesn’t need them. Meanwhile other actual hard working Councillors can apparently suck it up.
We feel Kingstone has something to answer for here, and challenge him to make a statement to show that he has not benefitted unduly and brought the office of Councillor into disrepute. Something he has in fact done many times, yet many still believe the sun shines out of his arse.
