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.
14 October (Part 1) - Oh B! I got that wrong
A fairly major clanger was dropped within
yesterday’s
Finance Scrutiny meeting report. I was working from an audio only copy of the
webcast and was unsure of who Chairman Dourmoush was addressing. Ms something beginning with B.
Ever since I stopped attending Scrutiny meetings I have tended not to refer to
Council Officers by name. Being there makes one familiar with their names and
faces and the webcast makes them comparative strangers. Safer to not identify
them by name. However since I was about to issue rare praise naming the speaker
was appropriate and fair so I went to the Agenda to see who had written the
People Strategy report. It said that the Contact Officer was Lorraine Barlow
Head of Corporate HR. Ah, something beginning with B as the Chairman was saying.
It must be her.
Wrong. Having checked the webcast again I discovered that the lady speaking on
HR matters at the meeting was Kate Bonham, Deputy Director of HR. Yesterdayְ’s report has been amended.
