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 July (Part 2) - Labour facts and Tory obfuscation
Several requests have come in for the names of candidates expected
to stand at the May 2014 council elections and the answer each time is that
everything I know has been put on the website. The word ‘know’ requires
elaboration. Whilst the Labour party has been happy to inform me of the
situation in wards they already hold or hope to win, for the Conservatives, all the
information has come from unverifiable anonymous sources. They may be right,
they may be wrong, I simply do not know.
At least one of the sources must be wrong, because one says that councillor June
Slaughter is heading for the exit, leaving husband Michael behind, and the other says
the reverse is true. Actually two say the reverse is true, so the odds must be stacked that way.
I’d be sorry to see either go. At least they ask intelligent questions and in
Michael’s case in particular will publicly speak his mind even at the risk of
rocking a comfortable boat.
But why not just ask them as one can with Labour you might ask? Because if you
do this is the sort of answer you will get…
“The candidates will be known when the nominations papers are submitted.”
That is the single sentence reply given by Sue Ayers, Secretary of
the Bexleyheath & Crayford Conservative Association. Lying and obfuscation runs
deep in the DNA of Bexley Tories.
