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.
11 May - UKIP Bexley - You’llֺ be missed
It
was inevitable given the situation nationally that Bexley’s three UKIP
Councillors were not going to be elected a week ago and outnumbered 20:1 they
found it difficult to make the sort of political impression over the past four years that would grab the headlines,
but not for want of trying. When they suggested that
Councillors’ allowances
should be reduced the Tories jumped on the idea from a great height.
They also suggested that the Council
should sell the Bexleyheath Shopping Centre instead of parks; that went down
like a lead balloon too.
Given Bexley Tories’ determination to dominate local politics no one else is
allowed to take credit for anything but outside of the Council Chamber it can be a different story.
Here is a comment from an appreciative resident…
Looking at the election results I see that Lyn Smith and Mac (Colin) McGannon both lost their seats as UKIP
Councillors. Really sad because they were the only Councillors who showed any concern about the neglect of
services in our road and they took the trouble to visit us to discuss our concerns even though they were
NOT our ward councillors. I’d describe them as being good, honest, old fashioned Councillors who actually cared
about residents rather than indulge in political play acting.
I noted with interest and a certain amount of pleasure that Philip Read got the lowest number of votes of the
three Conservatives in West Heath ward. Just a crumb of comfort.
