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.
30 October (Part 2) - Bexley by-election gets interesting
Last night The Reform Party leader Richard Tice threw his hat into the Old Bexley & Sidcup ring to challenge
Bexley Councillors Daniel Francis and Louie French - probably (†)- in being James Brokenshire’s successor. I imagine that Daniel is fairly happy
about the intervention. Richard took over his party from Nigel Farage whose candidate did rather well in Bexley in 2015.
Catherine Reilly, UKIP, took 18·2% of the vote. (Labour 19%.)
For former Tories like me who will never vote Conservative again - what is the point of voting Green Labour? - Richard Tice might well be worth a punt.
I doubt I will be placing any bets though.
