8 October (Part 2) - Website proliferation. Everybody’s doing it
Two
new Bexley related websites have come to my notice within the last couple
of days. One is not new exactly, it has merely come out of a long period of
hibernation but may be of interest to those of us who live in the borough’s northerly extremities.
Its name is ‘A Take on Thamesmead’ and carries a banner not unlike
some of those to be found on BiB.
There is a lot going on in Thamesmead at the moment, much of Tavy Bridge is presently
a
heap of rubble and the site aims to keep residents up to date. If I
see anything especially interesting I’ll link to it from here. It is
already listed on one of the BiB menus - that’s all pages apart from the BiB blog itself.
The
second website should be of interest to Northerners too and I suspect, political nosey
parkers everywhere. It is as far as I know, the first UKIP sponsored site in Bexley.
During the last election period, when Bonkers was in its infancy, I commented on, or at the
very least referred to, both Labour and Conservative leaflets and I may well do so again as
May 2014 approaches.
The local Labour party websites have not been very well looked after and
are horribly out of date. The Conservative ones are too often propaganda sheets
and when Teresa O’Neill or Peter Craske are involved they can be, as you might
expect, crammed full of untruths. Did they really think anyone was sufficiently
gullible to believe their lies about the local Labour party being unaware that
there was a railway station named Bexleyheath? Who in their right mind makes up
lies like that?
After looking at Bexley Conservative websites, UKIP’s seemed much more modern
and a breath of fresh air, but maybe I am biased because some of it bears a passing
resemblance to Bexley is Bonkers. That is not a complaint, anyone is welcome to nick any
part of BiB. Maybe it would be best if I refrain
from further comment and just give you the link?
