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.
27 March (Part 2) - Dear Bexley council
It’s the time of the year to start paying the council tax bill. The council
would like me to pay by Direct Debit but I won’t. A Direct Debit implies a level
of trust with the payee and that simply doesn’t exist.
The only instructions on my tax demand is to send a Direct Debit instruction to
my bank or “Please visit our website for details of alternative ways to pay your
council tax bill”. So I went there expecting to find a bank sort code and
account number so that I can set up a standing order. But no, there is nothing
there apart from an online form to pay by debit card. Can’t they get even the simplest things right?
I was on the point of sending a letter but fortunately I found last year’s bill
and that has the necessary details clearly printed on the reverse. Let’s hope
they haven’t changed their banker within the
past 12 months. The numbers I have are Sort Code 51-70-14 and account number 21101183.
