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.
30 April - The Nail Tax explained
Thanks to the efforts of a lady who prefers to remain anonymous, how Bexley
Council managed to slip its latest stealth tax under the radar is now a little clearer.
The issue was first discussed at
a Licensing Committee meeting in January
and the fees were
fixed two months later.
The Committee put in a report to Council for their 2nd March meeting but it was
not discussed there, I know
I was there, neither is it specifically mentioned in the Agenda
of that meeting. Bexley Council simply voted to accept the Licence Committee’s report - blind.
This is how democracy works in Bexley.
As a result of the blind vote a notice was slipped into the News Shopper which does not go to
everyone and few will have looked at the Legal Notices.

So that is how the latest stealth tax slipped under the radar.
Here’s the current charges.
