7 March - New names but nothing changes
The
image to the left is not the best copy of the Bexleyheath Tories fibbing their way to victory in
May 2022 but will have to do for now. Their leaflet bears the
same
message as did Belvedere’s but with different faces attached. New faces look
like being the norm in Bexley unless Labour can work a miracle in the borough.
The name Sandhu rang a bell with me and the reason was not hard to find. In 2014 that
acknowledged and proven liar who somehow became Prime Minister
picked out Ragbhir Singh Sandhu for special praise after he organised a
booze up for Bexley Conservatives. It was obvious then that the Mobile Bar Hire
company was not picked at random or by competitive tender but because of who owned it.
Where have
we heard that story before? (N.B. It is unlikely to have been a Bexley
Council bar booking in which case tendering would not apply.)
There were strong suggestions backed by a Councillor that there was a Sandhu family
link to the Independent Person on the Code of Conduct Committee. There is
nothing straight forward about Bexley Council.
Ragbhir is no longer a director of the company that
plied Boris Johnson with drink in 2014.
