4 April - Spreading fear. They have nothing else left
It
is not something I have tried to hide over the years so you will have noticed
that I am 100% against
political attacks on motorists. Ever higher and new taxes and the meanest of
road traps and parking scams. I have had more than enough of them and it precludes
me from voting Labour ever again.
I am wholly against ULEZ which was based on a whacking great lie and yellow box
junctions. I had high hopes of Richard Diment when he was appointed to
the Cabinet but in my opinion he seriously blotted his copybook on Yellow Money Boxes.
Mostly unnecessary and usually too large but just a few days ago I
praised
Bexley Council for not being quite as politically correct as most.
Their latest publicity material appears to be going down the same road as I was.
If you vote Labour say goodbye to even more of our freedoms.
But Reform UK too? That is just nonsense.
As you might imagine the policy on penalising motorists was a priority question when I first met up with
would-be Reform Bexley Councillors. They shared my view. Now one of them has
become the local Reform UK leader.
I asked him again about LTNs, 20 m.p.h. nonsense and no to parking charges based on
engine size as in the Socialist Republic to our West.
As for concreting over green spaces,
here is the list read out in Council eleven years ago. A Conservative list.
Nowhere is safe. The audio quality is poor but one can just about discern 30
sites which might be sold. There were parks included but the majority were not.
Most were small open spaces.
A written
list of Council property deemed suitable for disposal was published a month earlier.
Things have moved on since with some sites sold and built on but it is a bit
rich for Bexley Conservatives to spread the fear that Reform UK will build on
Bexley’s Green Spaces when that is exactly what they have been doing
surreptitiously for the past ten years. They take us all for fools.
For the record, Reform UK has been very critical of the millstone that is BexleyCo in emails to me going back more than nine months.
