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.
28 August (Part 2) - A lucky escape
Bexley
council has had a lucky escape. I have long thought that sooner or later their
law-breaking tendencies and shunning of almost every
government guideline would get them into trouble, so when an email arrived
bearing the signature shown to the left I thought the day might have come, as sooner or later it will.
It would appear that the Radio 4 programme,
Beyond Westminster is planning a feature
on “armchair auditors” blogging in support of the government’s Big Society and presumably reporting on the
obstacles put in their way by councils hell-bent on
operating under the cloak of secrecy. Unfortunately as negotiations progressed
it became clear I was not able to participate in this particular programme (†) and
without a great deal of thought suggested they contacted Mrs. Angry of the
Broken Barnet blog
instead. Naturally I don't think that blog is anything like as incisive as
Bonkers but maybe the broken borough of Barnet doesn’t provide the blogger with the daily
stream of wrong-doing as kindly provided by Bexley council. So with some
reluctance I passed the baton to North London and I hope if the BBC made contact with
Mrs. A. she used it to good effect. I have lost contact with the BBC on this issue
now, but my recollection is that the programme was scheduled for next Saturday at 11:00.
Meanwhile we have the
TV to look forward to.
† For personal reasons I would prefer to keep from Bexley council; but next time,
they won’t be relevant.
