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.
29 April - Address request addressed
“Are you dead” said a cheeky message this morning just because I took the
weekend off. No, but having driven Bexley council underground - rare meetings,
few responses to questions - the information flow may be.
Obviously council leader Teresa O’Neill is not going to admit to breaking the
law by insisting that residents could only be fully involved with democracy if
they agreed to their addresses being published on line, that would demand a
degree of honesty, but she does seem to have mended her ways recently.
Most councillor’s addresses are now available
via a Bexley council webpage though about a dozen of them claim the information leaves them
at severe risk of violence.
It’s a lie of course. More than half London’s councillors who claim that exemption live in the safest
borough in London - Bexley. It doesn’t make sense.
The old Rogues Gallery page which has existed since the day this website was
launched has been considerably revised.
Councillors used to be listed, party leaders and their deputies first, followed by an
alphabetic sequence but by reader request it is now in simple
Surname sequence with an alternative
Ward sequence
available from a button.
