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.
2 March (Part 2) - Vote UKIP get Tory
At the end of a sometimes bad tempered 140 minute Council meeting Bexley set its 2016/17 Council Tax 3·99% above last year’s this evening.
The vote, as always, divided along strict party lines with UKIP joining forces with
the Conservatives and both rejecting Labour amendments.
Mayor Sybil Camsey appeared to be intent on provoking discontent among Labour
members by constantly complaining that they digressed from the subject and actually
switching off Councillor Ezenwata’s microphone to silence the voice of Thamesmead East.
Tories were however given free rein to rant about the Scottish National Party
and opposition motions allegedly presented on “fag packets”. Neither relevant, original nor
edifying and pretty much business as usual from the Bexley Boors.
Because the GLA precept has been reduced, Council Tax bills will actually rise by less than
3·99%. About 3·83% by my calculation but 1·86% according to Page 2 of today's News
Shopper. One of us is going to have to go back to school. (†)
†: The difference is that the News Shopper has swallowed
Bexley’s propaganda that Council Tax is going up by 1·86% and the BiB figure is
based on the full extent of the raid on your pocket which includes the Adults’ Services surcharge.
