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.
According to
Sadiq Khan’s Twitter feed
he met the Leader of Bexley Council yesterday. Teresa O’Neill felt it necessary to wear her Council name
badge whilst Sadiq assumed everyone would know who he was.
These two from opposite ends of the political spectrum have more in common than
you might imagine. As soon as she was elected in 2006 O’Neill worked to ensure
Bexley remained an isolated outpost of the metropolis and met with a notable
success when it was announced two years later that there would be no local
bridge across the Thames. Meanwhile residents who responded to a consultation
thought she was misguided.
Khan has gone down a very similar route. Elected only seven months ago he has already decided that he
doesn’t want to see a river crossing in Bexley either. Which of them should be despised the most? In
terms of broken election promises it must be Khan by a mile.
