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.
6 May (Part 2) - Shades of Robin Hood in reverse
As you can see, I stole this graphic from Bromley Council. It was an insert in their Council Tax bills.
Bexley decided it couldn’t be bothered to explain its tax bills but maybe they should have done. There could hardly be a
clearer illustration of how Bexley Council gets a bad deal from central government. Governments of all flavours that is.
Bexley’s Council Leader is on the record as saying that if this borough was as well funded as Greenwich, she would be paying
out to residents, not taxing them. It was of course a lie but a look at the figures goes a long
way towards explaining why she is tempted to make the point.
It doesn’t quite explain how it is that Bromley levies a lower rate of Council
Tax than Bexley despite being even more severely underfunded.
