15 February (Part 2) - James Hunt. Do we have an honest politician?
I
spent yesterday evening reading all my correspondence with Councillor James Hunt
as far back as 2021 in the hope of rediscovering exactly what he was supposed to
have done to two untruthful women.
Along the way I was reminded of his opinion of various Councillors. One was evil
and another was vile (both former Councillors) and if I named them you would wholly agree. In the main we
were in agreement on everything although his choice of who would make the best
Conservative Leader after Boris Johnson ate a cake was very different to my own.
For some unknown reason we briefly discussed the Top Gun films and my rather
extravagant Atmos sound system and more recently and pertinently what we thought
about Reform UK’s prospects in Bexley.
What was good is that nothing he said was contradicted by the recent Court case.
When he protested his innocence to me I was of course very much aware that I was
hearing only his version of events and more than once asked myself if I was
right to accept his version 100%.
But James Hunt once shook my hand under the nose of some of his colleagues at a
time when every one of them hated me. He is a man who plays things straight,
maybe a bit of a rebel, but then so am I, and one doesn’t desert good people on
the back of ugly and unsubstantiated rumours.
Did I rediscover why the two women decided to take revenge on James? Err; yes, he told me why.
And did I discover exactly what he was supposed to have done and where? Yes again, in one case anyway.
But it’s not for me to drop hints on anything. Just be aware that James’ story
as relayed to me over the past three years was
exactly as Judge Corrin said
last week. We desperately need honest politicians and in JH we have one.
15 February (Part 1) - Talking Bexley down
I
am going to get references to pots and kettles but Daniel Francis MP appears to
be on a mission to discredit Bexley Council; which is of course my job. But I am
just a humble keyboard warrior with a small following and Daniel Francis is
supposed to be an elected representative trying to improve the lot of Bexley residents.
Reporting dozens of potholes
as he did last year is arguably of some benefit to
his electors although going further and arguing that the borough’s road repair
grant should be reduced was not.
Common sense and logic is a little beyond the Labour grasp but what possible good can it do to make a speech in Parliament aimed solely at
proving that Bexley Council lies constantly? It’s petty-minded stuff. OK
within these pages perhaps but not in the HoC.
Daniel Francis was a Councillor here quite long enough to know the truth of that as
will anyone who has read Bonkers over the past 16 years. Bonkers was created because
Bexley Council lied and I naively believed that it must be a one off.
The recent Conservative group claim that Bexley has the seventh best roads in the country was of
course the most extraordinary bunkum. Authorities had been rated Red, Amber or Green on four criteria. There was no published league table and even on the most
rudimentary examination one could see that 15 boroughs scored more Green ratings than Bexley.
Where the hell did seventh come from? Daniel Francis obtained Ministerial assurance that Bexley Conservatives lied
and is presumably very pleased with himself to have confirmation of what was
said here last month is correct.
Is calling out Bexley Council’s lies in Parliament the pinnacle of the MP’s achievements?
I fear it may be.
I have the uncomfortable feeling that Council lying is on an upward trend since David
Leaf took over the Leadership. I hope I am wrong.
For the record Bonkers has never been able to report a lie by a Labour
Councillor. Some of their supporters are the most abominable dregs of humanity
but Stefano Borella and his immediate gang has always appeared to be as clean as the
proverbial whistle. Where did that silly saying come from?
