10 June - Demanding, menacing, threatening, censoring - Episode 5
Arguing with friends is something I simply cannot remember doing or wanting
to do. Public arguments I can definitely do without which is why the final
response to the threatened police action is relegated to ‘The Compendium Page’.
It may be a useless gesture towards ducking out of an argument but it makes me feel better and life is depressing enough already.
It might have been easier to ignore the recent threat but the arrogance of someone who
thinks she can constantly complain about Councillors without good cause, see the
complaints thrown out and then compound their misery by appealing the decisions,
believing that no one has any right to know what is going on is the definition of Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Banning news. Whatever next?
I knew nothing about this complainant except that I had seen
a number of left leaning Tweets but out of nowhere, last September, I was
attacked for my opinion of the police which will no doubt be
amply confirmed next
Tuesday. By way of a response the complainant’s unsavoury Retweets
and unwarranted tussles with Councillors Philip Read and Danny Hackett were given
an airing. Others Councillors have indicated suffering similarly but don’t want to elaborate on their situations.
Maybe the sources were different.
Eight months later a solicitor’s letter and threat to go to the police if eleven
blogs are not immediately removed. When eleven were modified to satisfy the menacing demands
I am told there was still a way to go.
Over twelve years of blogging I have learned that there is absolutely nothing one can do to
combat corruption, dishonesty or stupidity in public life. If a politician commits a crime
against an ordinary person the very highest authority in the police will be
called in “to resolve their situation” but if the ordinary person hits back he
is likely to be arrested. There was such a case here in Bexley very recently which one day may go public.
Maybe I should give up reporting what little goes on within Bexley Council or at
least take a rest until the new Cabinet meets on Monday week.
