24 December - Doom mongering

It has been said here before but to my mind the only reason to keep Bonkers going is to give a bit of publicity to what goes on at Council meetings and once again I have to report there will not be one for another three weeks. Do they have fewer than used to be the case?

An email this morning said that Bonkers is “a goldmine of valuable information” and maybe it is in historical terms, When I look back at it it is almost beyond belief that Bexley Conservatives, supported by corrupt officialdom and bent policemen, could be as dishonest as they clearly were. It was one scandal after another; but not any more leaving Bonkers struggling and some might say floundering

PopularityIt is rather disappointing that Council meeting reports, which can easily take half a day to write, rarely produce a response from any readers there might be. Rants about parking, the Sidcup blockades and yellow box junctions appear to be much more popular.

It would be easy to rant about Keir Starmer’s woeful government and maybe now that Non-Crime Hate Crimes are no longer the police’s premier occupation there is more scope to do so.

Is he really so deluded that he really believes he is improving the state of the country for anyone who goes to work every morning? My tax bill is going up by £594 next year not including the VAT on massively increased prices.

The population is clearly nuts; while Starmer has an approval rating of -54% the tit whispering Green leader David Paulden (a.k.a. Zack Polanski) tops the league table at only -6%. His policies are nothing short of 100% lunacy.

Ed Davey, a man who keeps failing to drown himself in wet publicity stunts is at -9%. Kemi Badenoch, undermined by innumerable wets, is in third place at -32%. Ditch the wets Kemi.

Despite not holding back on criticism of Labour nationally and generally going against local Labour MPs, all my Christmas greetings from political sources were from Labour people.

As much as I despise Starmer and his cronies, and this morning’s Christmas message was vomit inducing, all the Labour Councillors in Bexley appear to be decent human beings. I am not so sure about some of the Tories.

It looks like my forecast that Kier Starmer would only last 18 months will be wrong. A calamity for the country except that, impossible though it might seem, the party has no one better.
