6 April (Part 2) - You couldn’t make it up, but they did

ManifestoBexley Conservatives are once more relying on the gullible to ensure a fifth election victory. “Bexley is a low tax borough”. “We have fulfilled all our Manifesto promises.” All total nonsense obviously but it is a technique that seem to work.

The claims made for trees, schools, new green spaces and more houses have already been comprehensively debunked and where is the world class digital network that they were going to “boost”? Has O’Neill usurped O’Penreach? It would appear not.

The Independent candidate for Sidcup ward is not one to twiddle his thumbs, preferring to dig into the morass of balderdash and bull**** which is Bexley Council.

“Where are the wi-fi hotspots?” he asked. “How are you getting on with the roll out of superfast broadband?”

Bexley Council provided the official answers.

There is no Council wi-fi and providing broadband is none of our business.

The failure to get the Elizabeth Line open is down to Sadiq Clown of course but the extension to Ebbsfleet is a non-starter on which £4·85 million has been wasted already. It was never likely to be a goer and even less so now that the fair ground in a quarry has been scuppered.

Wi-Fi

No Wi-fi despite the electoral claim.

Broadband

No Broadband (but there may one day be fast connections between Council sites, funded by the GLA.

The Independent candidate for Sidcup is Dimitri Shvorob. If you are lucky enough to live in that ward you have an interesting alternative to the usual suspects. Be sure to scroll down the long list of candidates until you get well past B for Bacon.
