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.
20 October (Part 1) - ‘Notomobe?’ Can’t the BBC get anything right?
If
you missed last night’s One Show and plan to catch it on i-Player later, then don’t
bother. Although Bexley people will recognise that a lot of the street scenes were
Bexley, along with the Dom Littlewood interview and talk to camera inserts, I don’t
think the word Bexley passed anyone’s lips. Notomob got a little publicity but would
anyone have understood what they are all about afterwards? I doubt it.
The BBC sent a production crew from Cardiff for this event, four people in
total, who spent
the whole day working on the project and when I left late
morning they were talking about getting an interview at the Civic Centre “for
balance”, but for that they finished up in Medway. The main event, an interview
with Notomob member ‘esinem’ could have been filmed anywhere. Maybe the whisper that came down from
the BBC that Bexley council planned to use their favoured Harassment attack on
them had a greater effect than was initially admitted.
