In what is both an amazing and profoundly disturbing news report in the Kensington and Chelsea Chronicle, it appears that ex-Councillor Mark Daley is positioning himself to make a political comeback, perhaps in helping Boris Johnson in his re-election campaign for London Mayor. You can read the story here:

Readers of this blog might know that our policy concerning ex-Councillor Mark Daley has been that as he had resigned as Councillor and had appeared to wish to remain in obscurity, this blog believed that there was no further purpose in focussing our readers attention on this particular recipient of Phelps' emails as he had already paid the price of receiving them. However, this situation has radically changed now that there appears to be a campaign to rehabilitate Daley and in some way prepare him for a return to a public role in politics. This would be an absolute outrage in view of the evidence which this blog has presented, notwithstanding any further evidence which may be presented.
This blog has not been convinced by anything so far said in defence of Mark Daley for the reasons stated in the article posted on 27 August entitled "Mark Daley Revisited" which can be found at the following link:

It should be emphasised that Barry Phelps' pervert emails were sent to a select and small number of individuals, and did not constitute part of Phelps' mass mailings on Earls Court matters, as Daley misleadingly implies. It should also be noted that one of the willing recipients on Phelps' email list has stated that he had to gain Phelps' trust before being included on the email list. Why was Mark Daley, alone among all the Councillors on the Council, a recipient on the pervert email list? Are we to believe that this was just purely random, that Phelps just happened to include Daley on this list, perhaps risking Daley not taking too kindly to them and reporting him to the Council Leader, or even the police?
There are many unanswered questions concerning Daley's role in being a recipient of the pervert emails. We cannot accept uncorroborated and self interested statements which appear to be motivated by a desire to return to a political career, when the known facts appear to be incompatible with what Mark Daley is saying. From taking an honourable decision to resign and return to a private life, which this blog believed he was entitled to have after sacrificing his political career, we can only view with disgust and dismay this cynical attempt to return to public life while not giving the full facts and answering all the questions concerning why he was one of the few individuals who were in receipt of Phelps' pervert emails. It is pure obfuscation to allege that he had blocked Phelps' emails because they were about Earls Court matters that did not concern him, when the emails in question were never mass mailed by Phelps and are in a totally different category. For these reasons, this blog will campaign to inform the public concerning the many questions concerning this man which he must answer fully and convincingly before he should ever re-enter public life. There is nothing in what Mark Daley, or his defenders, have said so far which resolves the doubts and concerns about his role as a recipient of Phelps' disgusting emails. Indeed, it makes absolutely no sense for some individuals who are seeking to rehabilitate Mark Daley, for them to condemn Barry Phelps for sending these disgusting emails, while seeking to find excuses for Mark Daley on the basis of only his self interested testimony and nothing more.
