The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
24 November - Queen Mary’s Hospital A&E “changes” - or in Plain English, it closes today
With
impeccable timing a leaflet announcing the ‘Temporary changes at Queen Mary’s’
dropped through my letterbox yesterday evening. It is graced with the emblem of the Plain English
Campaign and true enough, it is completely clear; it says the A&E will ‘temporarily
close’ and my dictionary defines Temporary as ‘effective for a time only; not permanent’.
So that’s OK then, surely there must be a plan for
re-opening A&E?
Sadly there is not, the health authority’s chief executive, Dr. Streather, admitted
as much when questioned by the council’s Health Committee on 21 October.
Maybe the leaflet is not so Plain English after all. Maybe no publicly funded
executive is capable of telling the whole truth.
