When the Grenfell inquiry restarts every witness should be asked " Are you now, or have you ever been a Freemason? "

Why is it relevant?

The way that planning and building control permissions in this country are awarded is often based on who is a mason and who is not.

You have evidence of this? No? Thought not!

Mikero

Is this practice restricted to planning and building control or are there other areas we should be concerned about?

Have you been talking to Thor?

Have you been talking to Thor?

Unlikely, Thor is on coronavirus leave.

Mikero

Must be an awful lot of Freemasons applying for permissions then.

As above, stick to water.

Is Freemasons really a thing? Not suggesting it isn't, just that I've never experienced it.

Direct backhanders obviously are.

Wouldn't you want someone building a structure to be a mason?

My old man was one and I inherited his Masons coin which I put beside the other Masons coin I own which I was given by a drunken Mason one night to pay his cab fare. Obviously I haven't told anyone about this until now.

I have to say that I count the Masons of the local Lodge as amongst the most polite and best tippers when I take them back to their secret locations at the end of one of their animal sacrificing ceremonies of a Tuesday night.

I've got some Lodge manuals I inherited from my old man and will post them up here in full detail later.

Having spent many years in the Construction Industry and later lecturing in Construction subjects I met many people who thought that joining the local lodge was the best way to get on with a career, this was especially true of local authority workers including Building Control officers. Tendering for council contracts should be a fair process between companies, but time and again I heard complaints that things were subject to 'influence'. As someone has said 'bungs' probably still change hands as well.

Personally I have friends who are masons and have been encouraged to join several times, but I did not want to be part of a secret society based on 'mutual assitance' and pseudo religious rituals.

Talking of your fathers coin Max, I made a masonic door for one of the city lodges. Another strange ritual.

Bit like social clubs. Not always what you know but who you know. Just the members have more influence probably.

Snap!

Although more acquaintances not friends, I've been sounded out a couple of times over the years.

I could have been totally wrong - but my gut instinct just told me something didn't feel right.

Just like cheap drinks down the social club. Same thing, just more influence. One is a group that own the country the other is a group who think they should.

Do you have any evidence to back this up?
