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.
21 February - Heads will roll?
I doubt I will ever go to a Council meeting again, the webcasts are just
about tolerable. When I first became a regular listener I knew who was speaking
by the sound of their voices, a product of many years of attending in person but
that is something that is getting to be more difficult.
There appears to have been a significant turn over of senior staff. I know nothing about Stephen Kitchman
(Children’s Services) even though he was appointed before the pandemic.
Matthew Norwall (Places) came on to the scene last October which I suppose
explains the recent absence of David Bryce-Smith.
Maybe I am reading too much into it but it would appear that
Bryce-Smith and his
side-kick Kevin Murphy have both left the Council and both with housing
responsibilities. Could it be that the string of housing failures and
overspends in Bexley has prompted the CEO to do something about it?
