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.
8 November (Part 2) - Quiet but effective?
If
I exclude a couple of the recently appointed cabinet members who have yet to
make their mark, there is only one name from past or present cabinets which has
not received a well deserved kicking in these pages.
That name is John Fuller. I don’t think I have ever spoken to him beyond a
mutual nodding acknowledgment but I do not recall him ever wasting time at
council meetings or political point scoring and certainly he’s been free of the rudeness which some of his colleagues
have honed to perfection.
How does he manage to hold a position under a leader such as Teresa O’Neill, rarely short of a bitchy put down for opponents?
It’s
true that his department has cut some services due to budget cuts and the distance
to school measurement system was changed to disadvantage some parents, but to annoy
almost no one and deliver an apparently decent set of statistics is something it would
be impossible to say about any other long term cabinet member.
Perhaps there is a direct correlation between a councillor’s nastiness factor
and the performance of his department.
I have belatedly realised that I have only taken photographs of cabinet members
making exhibitions of themselves so I am going to have to nick one of John
Fuller from somewhere.
