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.
1 October (Part 1) - A return to the Chamber
The last time you saw a decent Council meeting photo here was on
5th March
2020 but when the pandemic struck the Council Chamber became a no-go area. The
webcasts were useful but as things returned to normal so did the webcast
schedule and Transport and Audit Committee meetings became no better than
gatherings of the Bexley Secret Society. I decided that it might be worthwhile to
hear what the auditor had to say about Bexley’s Houdini-like escape
from bankruptcy. The auditor said that 2020/21 was “a good news story, an improvement on the
previous year and everything was within the expected range”.
Once questioning got under way
things seemed to be a little less rosy and a more
comprehensive report will appear here before long.
On the way in I spoke to Labour Leader Stefano Borella for the first time in 19 months and
discovered his enthusiasm for trains and buses is undiminished. As for the
others, some may have grown older and others simply grown wider while another
has disappeared behind an extravagant beard and moustache. Beard apart I have done the same.
After a two hour meeting I left in a hurry always conscious of the fact that me
speaking to Conservatives may not go down well with the Teresa supporters. Apologies
to any I may have offended.
