25 May - Brief ones again

It’s the Labour way
TweetI am just a little unpopular with a BiB reader. He drew attention to yesterday’s blog on London Borough of Bexley News and Views (Facebook) and earned himself an instant ban by the red mods. But have they called him a fascist yet?

Maybe the main moderator would be better employed on filing his company accounts.

Note: The Tweet which the Lefties found objectionable was one which condemned the police for bashing old ladies over the head when only a week had passed since an officer was murdered in Croydon after a detainee had not been searched for weapons. Apparently that excuses police brutality.


BexleyCo
I don’t usually report planning issues here because From the Murky Depths has developed its coverage into an art form, but I have been asked to draw attention to BexleyCo’s proposal to build on the Council Leader’s back garden; Burr Farm.

71 new houses, half of them two bedroom. 50% three bedroom and the remainder four bedroom. Unusually under the current London Mayor’s anti-car agenda, each of them will be provided with a car parking space.

You will be able to see the plans on 5th June (4 p.m. to 8 p.m.) in the church hall of Christchurch on The Broadway.

Bexley Council rejected a much smaller development squeezed into a ‘hole’ between existing houses so not unlike the Burr Farm plans.

Bonkers continuity
I am occasionally asked if I have fully recovered from recent short stays in hospital. Thank you for the concern. The answer is basically yes but treatment is not yet complete so there will be further gaps in Bonkers next month. Lack of material makes some gaps inevitable, so maybe no one will notice.
