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.
27 July (Part 1) - Protest and sign it now
Bexley Council has submitted
its formal response to the Mayor’s consultation on his plans to penalise the
poorer members of society who need a vehicle to go about their lives and their business.
It is as you might expect a comprehensive argument against Khan’s latest plan to
tax London’s economy into submission.
At a time when transport is rapidly becoming greener there is little need to
accelerate it and spending £200 million of taxpayers’ money on the required
infrastructure makes no sense unless his real plan is to use the cameras to enforce a London wide congestion zone.
Public transport is not a complete answer and cycling certainly isn’t. When
I
returned from Petts Wood last week the roads were busy in part because of just
one cyclist who I first encountered near Queen Mary’s Hospital and didn’t lose until I got to Crook Log.
He was a a teenager on a very ordinary bike wobbling along at a reasonable speed and I think
I passed him and vice-versa four times. Each time having to wait behind until it was safe to give him a wide berth and get by.
Using the statistics I get from my safety expert son I would guess
that the hit on the economy caused by that one lad on a bike will be well into four
figures. A socialist mayor will have no concept of economics and slowly but
surely he is wrecking London. While his voter base exists I suspect the only
respite is for sensible people to get out of London. That is certainly my
long term plan, if someone of 1943 vintage can have a long term plan.
There is still time to sign
Louie French's ULEZ petition. I broke the habit of a life time and actually
added my name to it. Never done that before but Khan has to be stopped.
