4 September (Part 2) - Photography is banned in Bexley
Not only
photography but parking is currently banned in Bexley’s Thanet Road car park. I
went there this evening before a meeting with the Bexley Action Group and
found that a gang of Irish travellers had taken over. They had set up three
caravans, it may have been four, I wasn’t allowed to stay and look.
They were not only forbidding parking but they didn’t want anyone invading their
new abode on foot either. Anyone carrying a camera was a paedophile and from six
inches away their leader bellowed that if I lingered a moment longer both my
camera and my face would be smashed. I took a couple of photos while beating a
hasty retreat, they are not too sharp as a result.
I think Bexley’s Enviro Crime Unit has a problem, but maybe they will happily condone
the invasion of a public space
like they did with Bridleway 250.
