24 December (Part 1) - The Yule blog. No ’ell for Bexley council
One
thing that Bexley council cannot be accused of is Political Correctness, at
least not in recent years. As it is the season of goodwill I won’t drag up an example from 2001.
Not for Bexley is the Season’s Greetings, Happy Winterval nonsense one finds in
northern towns and some centres of LibDemery.
Bexley sensibly issues a plain “Merry Christmas and a happy new year”. A big
thank you to the four councillors who sent Christmas greetings from beyond my
ward and the one from within it.
Also the various BiB helpers. The two ladies who have run the Facebook page, the Welling man who
corrects my programming errors, the regular providers of inside information and my friend from
Devon who spots the numerous typos and supplies many of the OBEs (Outstandingly Bad Expansions).
There will be few, or maybe no blogs until the new year. I doubt the Crown Prosecution Service
will spring into action and deliver their decision on Will Tuckley and Cheryl Bacon
which was promised for last week.
An exact repeat of
the Peter Craske scenario is unlikely. In that the CPS
provided Bexley police with “a course of action” but following “political
interference” that “crippled the case” against him, Bexley police dropped it.
Greenwich police already have all the evidence against Bacon and Tuckley
they could possibly need. It could hardly be stronger so some variant on
political interference must be on the cards. I am beginning to think that the
only way to stop political interference when Bexley council breaks the law is to
vote for a Labour mayor.
However, enough of that, It‘s Christmas and the first box of chocolates is looking tempting.
£5.99 in Wilton Road McColls, £9 in Sainsbury’s, Harrow Manorway. The more I see of that place
the more I dislike it.
Seasons Greetings. Happy Christmas!
