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.
7 August (Part 1) - Arresting Sidcup’s downhill slide
With
Bexley council in
close down mode until October, councillors
giving their surgeries a miss, even going to the trouble of
moving house to avoid their
responsibilities, I found myself reading through
the Waitrose petition while scratching around for news.
There’s about a dozen councillors’ names on the on-line petition and a good
number of pleas for Waitrose to do Sidcup a favour by coming to town. I’m not
sure that painting Sidcup as a run down hell-hole as some
petitioners do and then begging John Lewis to help dig it out of the mess is the right strategy, but each to
his own. Presumably some of the entries were more than a little tongue in cheek.
