Be sure to come back to read the jaw dropping, startling ordeal suffered by one of the victims bullied by Phelps, who has decided to open his heart to the blog and share what happened to him with our readers.
Resident Voices His Disgust To Phelps At The Dog’s Dinner To Honour The Pervert Himself
The blog has referred to receiving emails from residents in the Borough complaining that they had been sent an invitation by email to the Dog’s Dinner held in Phelps’ honour at Whits Restaurant on 25 February. They also complained that their names and email addresses were unlawfully divulged and in the possession of these Phelps’ supporters and that they wanted their private data to be removed from any database as they would never wish to be associated with or support this pervert.
Subsequent to the “tribute dinner”, Phelps himself mass mailed scores of individuals (please see Phelching Phelps), even to those who had managed to wretch out from the event itself in honour of the pervert.
Among those emails the blog received following Phelps’ mass mailing (Phelching Phelps), was one which particularly encapsulated the sentiments of this blog exactly towards the repugnance of the whole idea of a dinner to honour the pervert Phelps. We are grateful for the permission of the resident in Earls Court to reproduce the email exchange this resident had with Barry Phelps himself on this issue, and to protect this individual’s privacy we have anonymised the resident’s identity. The email conversation is startling for the arrogance and self pity of Phelps and the fact that after all this time he is both unapologetic and just does not get how repugnant his actions are to most decent people:

Subsequent to the Phelps’ “tribute dinner”, Phelps forwarded en masse an email he received concerning the dinner that was organised for him by “Earl’s Court Community Leaders”, individuals who still feel the need to phelch the pervert Phelps. Phelps on 27 February 2011 forwarded this email to scores of individuals who want nothing to do with him. The email is reproduced below for your information:

Subject: FW: A Tribute Dinner to Barry Phelps
Whether it’s feasting on the images of young boys, life has been a rolling feast these past few months for the bearded pervert himself, Barry Phelps. Not content with feasting at Christmas, New Year, or Valentine’s Day, the boy lusting pervert had a “tribute dinner” held in his honour at Whits Restaurant on the Abingdon Road in Kensington on 25 February 2011. What was the feast for? To celebrate an immoral pervert who enjoys feasting on the sexually provocative images of young boys.
An email invite to purchase tickets (at £30 with wine!!!) for the “tribute dinner” was originally emailed out on 7 December 2010, with a caveat that “There are only 50 places so you will need to confirm to me early that you would like to come and then send me your cheque made payable to Whits Restaurant to guarantee your place.”. As the stampede for tickets failed to materialise, a second email was sent out on 4 January 2011 stating that the price had now increased to £32.50 (please note: the meal with Phelps was not worth anymore (if at all), but the increase was due to the rise in VAT), and that there were still 15 places begging to be picked up. A third email was sent out on 19 January 2011, beseeching would be diners to purchase tickets as there were still places available!
The blog received complaints from individuals that their email details had been unlawfully forwarded to a third party, a Phelps’ supporter at a PR company involved in mass mailing the dinner details, hoping to drum up ticket sales. These individuals were disgusted that their details had been divulged, and many of them are disgusted with Phelps’ reprehensible proclivities. Consequent to the “tribute dinner” in “appreciation” of Phelps, the resurgent boy lusting pervert himself mass mailed individuals on 27 February 2011 – many of those who received his email were aghast at his delusions and wanton brazeness. In his email, Phelps personally thanked “… Jonathan Choat for organising this dinner and to my partner James for his total support …”, and ever the fantasist, stated, inter alia, that “I should never have resigned …”. Phelps’ tail might be up, but the view on offer is not a pretty sight! Clinging to his every word at his “tribute” dinner were dingleberries or wilnots of the human kind. These are like minded individuals who are not disgusted that a delusional and depraved individual like Phelps obtains his sexual gratification from images of young boys. These are individuals who are not disgusted that Phelps finds it amusing to joke about rape. Who are these individuals? Maybe one of the dinner attendees was the former “Earls Court Village Residents’ Association” Committee member who had received the boy lusting emails over the course of several years from Phelps himself, the ECVRA committee member who posted dog excrement to residents in Earls Court. Maybe it was another ECVRA committee member, a pot smoking staunch Phelps’ supporter, who had also known about the Phelps’ emails for several years. The chattering class of Earls Court might not see any moral wrong in Phelps lusting over the images of young boys and spreading his depravity over the public email system, but the blog is sure that his neighbours in Ledbury would be aghast that they live next door to a pervert. Phelps and his partner have a two bedroomed property in Ledbury, which they bought in July 2000 for the exceptionally good price of £50,000. The property was bought in the name of Phelps’ partner, with Phelps paying £32,500 and the partner £17,500. The property is in Homend Walk, The Homend, Ledbury, and is in the newly developed part of town not too far from a retail development. If they knew about Phelps’ depravity, the loving parents of young boys in Ledbury, Herefordshire, would dread the visits of the lecherous, boy photo loving pervert, ex-councillor Barry Phelps. Barry Phelps might hold out the prospect of a return to public life, possibly as an independent councillor in Kensington. However, that possiblity is as remote as him being invited inside the Pearly Gates by St Peter himself.The http://barryphelps.posterous.com blog has known for some time about the plans for that outrageous dinner held in Phelps’ honour last Friday, 25 February 2011, at Whits restaurant in Abingdon Road, W8. We wanted to write something on the blog, even start a campaign, but other commitments from our writers prevented them from launching a campaign to highlight this appalling event and the message it conveys of condoning Phelps’ monstrous conduct in sending emails sexualising young boys. However, the blog’s failure to campaign on this issue so far should in no way provide any encouragement to Phelps or his supporters. He can say he shouldn’t have resigned but there is no way he could have survived the avalanche of complaints and adverse publicity his pervert emails would have caused, let alone Mr Justin Downes’ Standards Complaint on that issue, which was only withdrawn because Phelps resigned. There was another Standards Complaint being prepared by a resident in the Borough concerning sexual harassment by Phelps and his breach of the Data Protection Act. The conduct and actions of Phelps was subsequently apologised for by the Council in a formal complaints process, and the complaint about breaches of the Data Protection Act, including personal and sensitive personal data, by Phelps was also upheld by the Information Commissioner. If he had not resigned, Phelps would have been under continuing scrutiny for his misconduct and would have brought the Council into disrepute, something even his former allies, such as Cllr Cockell, would not have tolerated. It is thoroughly unacceptable that somebody of Phelps’ misconduct and reprehensible behaviour should seek to rehabilitate himself, raise his public profile, or even possibly seek public office. We believe that it is now necessary to remind residents of the Borough, and the wider public, of the scandal which occasioned Phelps’ resignation concerning his disgusting emails sexualising young boys, and that such individuals in public life are unacceptable, unwanted, and should not be given dinners in their honour, and that their past misconduct in public office must be condemned.
