14 April (Part 2) - A taster for things to come
For the benefit of my many new readers I shall regurgitate an old story to illustrate
the depths to which Bexley council is prepared to sink to persecute its
residents and why so many people have come to believe
Bexley council is severely lacking in the honesty and integrity department.
When Bexley council made a false demand against a Bexley taxpayer for £1,250,000,
yes you read that right, £1·25 million! Senior High Court Judge Lewison
threw their case out in no uncertain terms.
The precise words the High Court Judge used to condemn Bexley Council’s conduct was
“unconscionable” and that “they had effectively set a trap”. You can
read the full judgment here.
“Unconscionable” is very strong language for a High Court Judge and defined in the
dictionary as “monstrously extortionate; unscrupulous; having no conscience; irreconcilable
with what is right”. Judge Lewison didn’t mince his words did he?
Councillor Colin Campbell, Cabinet Member (St. Mary’s, £22,650) and councillor Nigel Betts
(Falconwood & Welling, £13,173) both refused to support an inquiry into which Bexley Council
employees were responsible for making this false demand. More recently they have worked together
to try to deprive residents of their statutory right to make Freedom of Information requests. This
is typical of Bexley council’s attitude to good management and governance and I shall be
spelling out a few more recent examples over coming days.
There are a couple more snippets of information to pass on before I close down
for the day, The repercussions of Monday’s harassment letter are still rumbling
around the net. It is mentioned on the
EU referendum forum
now and although I think I have replied to all the support emails I have received I would
like to offer sincere thanks for all the helpful advice. A very helpful intermediary
went to the police on my behalf and I shall report more fully on this tomorrow,
not that there is a huge amount to say yet but there may be a sign that common sense
is about to break out - on the part of the police anyway; too much to hope for the council too.
During the last week or so Bonkers has been on the receiving end of rumours
about Bexley councillors. Bonkers doesn’t deal in rumours so there has been no hint
of anything here but since it may now be found on the web I suppose I must give it
a link if only not to appear behind the times. The more scurrilous aspects
of it I doubt very much but if true are nobody else’s business. On the other
hand if the big cabinet row story is true I know whose side I would be on.
The Harassment letter banner has now gone from the blogs for technical
reasons and it wasn’t attractive to look at.
