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.
9 October (Part 2) - The petition rolls on
The
chaps who have been gathering signatures began their task in Brampton Ward
because it is ‘home’ to council leader Teresa O’Neill who has many times gone
on the record to say what wonderful value the council’s top brass is. Now we know
that her next door neighbours do not agree; virtually everyone in the nearby
streets do not agree but what wasn’t so clear is whether the poshest areas of
Bexley would say the same.
Following the encounter with
Bexley’s rudest
councillor last Thursday the petitioners decided to give some attention to
the Millionaires’ Rows to the south of the borough and where better to start
than councillor Downing’s Steynton Avenue? Far from being a difficult patch as
half expected the success rate was as high as ever and the 2,000 signature
petition is now three quarters complete.
There was a refusal from a Porsche polisher who lives next door to a councillor but the man in Camden Road
opposite councillor Campbell (who, unlike Downing, was quite good humoured about
not signing but decided he had to rush off in his Merc somewhere) was far more typical.
“I earn more than that. The difference is I have to work for mine and if I make any
mistakes I’m out on my ear. Gimme that; let me sign it.”
