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.
11 January (Part 2) - Notomob reborn
I’ve
not found time to watch the BBC programme Parking Mad yet but I recorded it and it is
on i-Player until next Monday. The reviews were universally excellent and
best of all, the Notomob forum is once again alive with enthusiastic members,
most of them new and attracted by the welcome BBC publicity.
Why Notomob ever had the internal squabble with its most high profile member Nigel
Wise beats me. All he did was criticise a PATAS Adjudicator. Adjudicators might
not be the principle target for parking protestors but they are bound to be
caught up in the crossfire occasionally.
After I asked council yes man Kevin Fox to give me
an honest answer for once in his life, Mick Barnbrook didn’t cut me off from
his stream of FOI requests for
having a go at a council officer instead of useless councillors who are
the real objective. He put himself in the firing line and it’s collateral
damage. It’s occasionally inevitable.
The Powers Than Be in Notomob didn’t see things that way, but events move on and
it would be good to see Notomob active more often wherever they choose to assist the
authorities uphold the law.
