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.
20 February (Part 4) - Erith’s ‘war’ with Bexley council
The people who organise
the Erith
Riverside Festival have asked Bexley council what they plan to do to
commemorate the Great War. Erith with its proud industrial past has many
connections with the First World War 1914-1918. The answer would
appear to be nothing. Would you expect anything else of a council prepared to
dump its history in a cupboard in Bromley?
One of the ideas put forward is to sow poppy seeds in the Riverside Gardens. It
would cost very little but so far Bexley council has shown scant interest.
Maybe it would encourage them to show some respect if residents asked them why they prefer
to do nothing when Tories come knocking on their door soliciting votes. Or maybe they could
get in touch with cabinet member Don Massey more directly.
I think I should perhaps organise my own remembrance in April next year. This is
all that was left of my grandfather’s brother after he was blown to bits by a shell at Ypres.
