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.
1 February (Part 2) - Council Tax up
The Transport Committee meeting two weeks ago is not yet fully reported and neither
is last week’s Cabinet Meeting - I wonder why?
However if Cabinet had been reported in full it would undoubtedly have referred
to their very strong hints that Bexley’s Council Tax will be going up by the maximum permitted 4%.
I won’t like paying any more than you, the 4% increase that masqueraded as a bin
tax was bad enough but with any luck Bexley will drop even further in
the
Council Tax League table, pushed further down by better authorities.
When they next tell you that Bexley is a low tax authority it will be another
lie. Compared to other London authorities Bexley is no better now than it
was under the much derided Labour Administration that lost power in 2006.
This will bear especially hard on the poor who now pay a rising proportion
of Council Tax but didn’t pay anything only a couple of years ago.
