14 March (Part 3) - Free the Bexley One
As I await Mrs. Cromwell’s promised call with news of Olly’s incarceration my mind wanders towards Martin Neimoller’s words about the Nazis…
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
I have recently joked that in order to raise the website visitor numbers from its
recent bout of flat-lining it might be beneficial if
Bexley council or their policemen friends did something really really silly to
Olly. And now that they have I am feeling deeply depressed at how this country for which my father
came very close to losing his life flying a stricken Halifax bomber in 1942 is now in the hands of control freaks and criminals
little better than our then enemy; ready to take bribes from newspapers, murder private investigators, put a website entrepreneur
on an aeroplane to the USA or sling a blogger into a cell for swearing.
It seems my prediction was correct and in a few hours this morning Bonkers got
very close to exceeding its previous record of hits within a 24 hour period.
Pastor Niemoller’s warning has not been ignored. The Twittersphere is alive
with Bexley council’s utter stupidity. I have already had two press contacts.
While we await news here are links to more comment on the subject.

Today’s scheduled blogs which one or two readers may be be awaiting will now be deferred for a day or two. I am afraid my mind is occupied elsewhere.
