17 April - Good Labour and Bad Labour
I felt a need to balance the constant flow of bad news about Bexley
Conservatives before last week’s Council meeting is reported because some of
that will be rather damning stuff. But with what?
A distant memory said that Labour’s local Secretary and litigation enthusiast
who, according to her own Tweets, reported me to the police four times in 2020
and issued more threats through her money grabbing solicitor in 2021
demanding that I never refer to her here had said something in an email that
could be used against her. She is standing as Labour’s election candidate in unwinnable Longlands.
However my memory had let me down slightly. She did write what I remembered
but there was a caveat I had forgotten which diluted its impact. But all was not lost.
Another forgotten email confirmed something I had always suspected. The solicitor’s
complaint came six months after I had ridiculed the Labour Secretary’s
propensity for making unjustified complaints against serving Councillors. Was it
coincidence that the threats were made immediately after Daniel Francis had stepped down as Labour?
The answer turned out to be No.
The demanding email made it very clear that the solicitor’s letter came
long after the events of 2020 because Daniel had advised that sending it was a very silly idea. Daniel
Francis is my Belvedere ward Councillor so it is good to be reminded that he has
his head screwed on correctly. (But who selected the Longlands candidate?)
The ditherer is now leaning towards three Labour votes next month. One in 2014, two in 2018…
Where is this leading? Don’t worry. With Khan and Starmer in position blue is still my preferred colour.
