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.
21 January (Part 1) - Not a red light in sight
The
News Shopper’s letter page is frequently a rich source of ignorance and
misinformation and yesterday’s edition did not disappoint. I suspect letters are
chosen for their ability to stir things up a bit, something that would never happen on BiB obviously.
Doris Dean’s email does not actually blame Bexley Council for there being no
Christmas lights in Northumberland Heath last month but its reference to “Bexleyheath again” implies it.
As is often the case, Ms. Dean would not have been ignorant of the facts if she
had been a Bonkers reader. There were no lights in Northumberland Heath because
community leaders did not bother to claim the money on offer from Bexley Council.
It was all
reported here six weeks ago.
Neither the Town Forum nor the three ward councillors responded to the
offer made a total of three times.
If their website
is any guide the Northumberland Heath Forum is dead, its next
event is the AGM in March 2015 - not a BiB typo.
I understand the three Conservative ward councillors are not dead but there is
no compulsion to vote for them next time around.
The ward councillors are Philip Read, Peter Reader and Melvin Seymour all of
whom had large majorities at the last election.
