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.
19 February (Part 2) - It’s just bad luck
Three month ago I
promised myself I would look into Rockfire more closely; never did of course
but this morning I tried to make amends for it, helped by my Council finance friend.
We didn’t find out an awful lot more apart from confirmation that Bexley did
indeed share “due diligence” responsibilities with Newham before putting down
our money. (Click image for source Local Government Treasury website.)
Thurrock pumped in far more money,
reports say £145 million, so count yourself lucky that Bexley only put up £3 million.
But it was still a mistake by oneSource. oneSource’s Annual Report confirms that their Director of Strategic and
Operational Finance at the time the investment was made was Paul Thorogood. He doesn’t have much luck does he?
An undetected
£2 million Capita fraud in Barnet,
dubious decision making across the river,
and a Capitalisation Order in Bexley.
Having said that I think the seeds of Bexley’s reputational calamity were sown
before Mr. Thorogood arrived in Bexley.
