Did you think that at the March also? Some of the same people who had her on the stage at the march talking now claim she is only doing it for publicity / doesn't know what she is talking about.
I have been watching the actions of MEP Nikki Sinclaire closely during this whole stadium debacle. I have noticed that she is increasingly taking and extremely pro-SISU stance to the point where she has even using her European parliamentary power to undermine Coventry City Council, as demonstrated with the reports today of her reporting CCC to the European Anti-fraud department.

Whilst reporting the council to the European body she was also quoted as saying..
“There is something rotten at the heart of Coventry Council. Is there something fraudulent as well?”
This comes off the back of Nikki also calling for the head of Council leader Ann Lucas just a few months ago.

Nikki seems to consistently peddle the SISU line and I think it is interesting that she has said nothing about the recent revelations about the lack of a new stadium site.
I don't expect her to be anti-SISU or pro-CCC, I just want her to show at least a level of balance, as she is a public figure.
The tone, rhetoric and actions of Nikki have made me lose all confidence in her impartiality to the point where I personally suspect she has been been offered political funding by SISU in exchange for her support for SISU case at local and European level. We know that Joy Seppala met Nikki Sinclaire in person last year, it wouldn't surprise me if some deal took place. It took a freedom of information request to reveal her actions against CCC in Brussels, who knows what more she has been doing there?
This is an MEP which is supposed to be representing the interests of the people of Coventry. At the very least her actions are inflammatory to relations between CCC and SISU, and this can only further damage our chances of a resolution. I suspect further foul play here.
If the investigation finds that the council did nothing wrong she could claim it's another reason why the EU are pointless.
If the investigation finds that the council did something wrong she could stick another knife into the council she seems to absolutely despise.
She's in a no-lose situation here.
EDIT//She's just deleted a tweet where she claimed that the council may have lied to FOI request.
People think they are protected by anonymity on the Internet when that is not the case.
The council will be arranging to meet cc4life at the Wheatsheaf within the next 2 weeks.
She probably is looking for publicity, but then again she probably was when she was speaking at that March on the stage and people were all cheering her.
What has changed her stance?
I dunno. Why would a politician form close ties with a corporate entity shortly before an election they're likely to lose?

Couldn't give a shit about an election, it isn't just her changing stance after meeting them though is it. Especially as she was such a hero at the march and now she is full of shit and only doing it because of the election.
One of the reasons that Bob Ainsworth is up in my book is that he isn't standing again for parliament. Yes he might be trying to gain popularity but for what.
Nick mate, look through her history. She's been a "fan" of about 4 different clubs depending on who is campaigning for what. The woman would turn up at the opening of an envelope.

I thought she was standing for election as an MEP again.
How can you respect anyone who hasn't the balls to say anything without the protection of parliamentary privelege?
No, I totally agree. I think I also said this at the time but as she was backing the march etc it wasn't really agreed with.
All I am saying now is that people who have met with SISU have changed stance and questioning why.

Good question.
But why if they can convince one person at the same time don't they come out with the proof and convince all of us?
I fail to see how Ms Sinclaire working on behalf of Coventry supposedly ?
If money is being spent on Coventry services instead of some far flung european country what is her problem ?
Lol !!!
Hi nick was there any need to edit my post?
She should get on the council!
Yeah because there was not enough exclamation marks in it !!!!!

I wonder that as well. Is it careful selection of those they feel they can convince or is there some amazing fact that we're all missing? OR is Joy just that damn charismatic that people will just believe her?
kingharvest always seems to me to have his head screwedon, when he posts on here, and he met Seppala, reported back how she was very persuasive, pretty charaismatic... how he thought she could be their best asset if she did come forward more publicly. (Or words to that effect, hopefully he'll be along to correct me if I've misremembered!)
It could be, of course, that she just doesn't like doing that, is actually shy and retiring however capable.
We all have our strengths and failings after all(!)
Who has actually met her?

Because he Isn't looking for votes and has raised our plight more than once in our national parliament.
She has said:
@CovTel_CCFC Council did not give a clarification until AFTER my speech last night. So no, I wasnt supplied with any info.
Simon?
