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.
4 May (Part 1) - Cryptosporidium in Belvedere, Phytophthora Ramorum in Lesnes
I
know it’s basically a weed from China but I have always had a soft spot for
rhododendrons; ever since I got a prize from the infants school teacher for
being the only pupil in the class to spell it correctly in a test.
There is a glorious display of the Chinese weeds in Lesnes Abbey woods at this
time of the year but some of the bushes are looking a little sick right now.
One at least is infected with Phytophthora Ramorum
which is a name I doubt I could spell correctly if you ask me tomorrow.
Bexley Council is going to grub up the affected bush and burn it. They have even issued
a Press Release.
Note: Bexley Council claimed they had to close
Belvedere’s Splashpark because of the presence of Cryptosporidium. The official report said it
was only a risk. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.
