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.
19 September (Part 2) - Police action
Maybe you didn’t notice but Olly Cromwell blogged about Bexleyheath police
last week and it was pretty strong stuff. Every last word was true but it was
dressed up in his usual boisterous style. I think you know what I mean. The
police don’t seem to like it and he has been told he must remove it. I have no idea
what legal basis they may have to do that but it is easier to move the site to
an overseas server than argue. It is striking how Bexleyheath police can swing
into action immediately they are the subject of a ‘scurrilous blog’ but are very
slow to move when it is officialdom making
obscene comments about the
public they are supposed to protect from such things.
Maybe that is a bit unfair. I received a
letter from Bexleyheath police today
and to be honest I can’t make head nor tail of it. It seems to face both ways.
Are they investigating how Bexley council allowed their own bit of obscenity to
go on-line or have they given up? Your guess is as good as mine.
If you visit this blog via the site’s
Home page you will have noticed that Olly isn’t the only one critical of
Bexleyheath police’s new Borough Commander but I have merely listed the events
and left it for the reader to make up his own mind. With luck my webserver won’t
have to go overseas just yet.
