The investigation into Cantref was carried out by a company called Campbell Tickell<\/a>, of London. So who are Campbell Tickell? They seem to be a company that has all the bases covered in the social housing and charities sector.<\/p>\n They are, in their own words, ” . . .\u00a0an established multidisciplinary management consultancy focusing principally on housing, regeneration, charities and social care, and with a growing involvement in sports and leisure. Our services extend across: strategic and business planning; governance and regulation; performance management; procurement; asset management and development; growth and new business; regeneration and stock transfer; customer services; communications and public relations; human resources and recruitment. Alongside our central team of 18, we have a network of nearly 150 associate consultants, both generalist and specialist”<\/em>. Phew!<\/p>\n The eponymous Campbell and Tickell are Greg Campbell<\/a> and James Tickell<\/a>. So who are they?<\/p>\n Well, Greg Campbell has a long career in social housing, local government and the Labour Party. (The three often intertwine.) And as his Linkedin profile<\/a> tells us, for three years he was a full-time employee of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n Linkedin tells us that James Tickell has a somewhat similar career history<\/a>\u00a0to Campbell; that is, after\u00a0attending\u00a0prep school, Westminster School and Cambridge. (Sub, check if he’s the son of Sir Crispin Tickell<\/a>.) And while I’ve found no direct link with the Labour Party we can be fairly certain he’s no Conservative.<\/p>\n Campbell Tickell it was that recommended Cantref be gifted to Wales and West Housing. The chief executive of Wales and West is Anne Hinchey<\/a>, wife of Cardiff Labour councillor Graham Hinchey<\/a>. Anne Hinchey herself has worked for Cardiff city council.<\/p>\n If the name Anne Hinchey sounds familiar, it may be because she’s been in the news recently for ordering Plaid Cymru election placards to be removed from Wales and West properties<\/a> in Cardiff (2:05). Mrs Hinchey is of course a paid-up member of the Labour Party. In fact, there seems to have been a coordinated effort by ‘Welsh’ Labour and its offshoots – especially in Cardiff – to engage in lies, vandalism, intimidation and other tactics. This is nothing new.<\/p>\n A few years back a Cardiff shopkeeper was threatened because he refused to promote Labour Party literature<\/a>. A few miles away, during the 2011 election, a Labour MP admitted to taking down Plaid Cymru placards<\/a>. Today it’s being reported that Plaid supporters in the Butetown (‘Tiger Bay’) area of Cardiff are being intimidated<\/a>.<\/p>\n Perhaps one of the weirder incidents thus far reported (for I have no doubt there will be others) is the pub that was visited by council officials after putting up Plaid Cymru posters . . . so now they’ve put up placards!<\/p>\n But as we know, this is how Labour operates. Labour, and especially its ‘Welsh’ branch, is corrupt and anti-democratic. It now begins to look as if canvassing returns in some areas are giving Labour activists the heebie jeebies, and panic is setting in.<\/p>\n![\"James](\"http:\/\/jacothenorth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/James-Tickell-tweet.png\")
