15 September (Part 2) - Another three years hard labour
Bonkers is 14 years old today and I have occasionally wondered whether it
should be continued or put out of its misery. The popularity of blogs in general
has waned over the years and with most of the big time liars on Bexley Council,
both elected and otherwise, having gone to do other things, the need for it has largely gone.
In fact if you look at politics more widely you might conclude that while Bexley
Council has gone some way towards cleaning up its act, politics in general has
got ever more incompetent and possibly corrupt. I am looking at you Mr. Sunak. “Britain-is-Bonkers”?
But the decision has been taken out of my hands because without my explicit
agreement to a three year extension, the relevant fees were charged to my credit card this morning.
So Bexley will continue to have two occasional sources of local news which don’t
entertain advertisements or request donations.
Arthur Pewty being the other one.
Someone brought round a copy of Wednesday’s News Shopper this morning, Bromley edition. In a reference to
the homeless camp
in Abbey Wood they reported that they thought it was underneath the Harrow
Manorway flyover; but not “definite”. That’s what comes from relying on Social Media for news and
not having a local presence, not to mention being three months behind BiB.
Maybe three more years will serve some purpose.
