9 April (Part 1) - Desperate times for Tories
Thomas Turrell is our London Assembly Member. I cannot tell you a thing he has done for
us because I rarely hear about him but I think it is fair to say he is worried
that the Conservative administrations in Bexley and Bromley are about to fall.
As a Conservative he is speaking up for Bexley Council on at least two videos.
I suppose it is a slip of the tongue that he says Bexley will spend £2
billion on its libraries and £30 million on roads. Or maybe he actually thinks
you might believe him.
He shows a clip of Reform UK’s Mayoral Candidate talking about Green Belt land and how it is sometimes pretty much worthless
and implies that nothing will be safe with Reform.
I have grave misgivings about the wisdom of appointing Laila Cunningham (the
Mayoral candidate) to any
political position but no party is perfect and it is a bit rich to complain
about building on Green spaces when Bexley Council has set up its own building
developer to do exactly that. And run up millions in debt in the process.
“Siding with Sadiq Khan” provided me with a bit of a giggle. I have only met
three of the Bexley Reform UK candidates and none will ever side with Sadiq
Khan. One I have known for a long time and on a good evening we have tried to out
do each other with what form of extreme punishment should be inflicted on Khan
for what he has done to our capital city. I would like to think that no one
hates him more than I do but after a night out with my Reform candidate friend I am not so sure.
I doubt there is any chance whatsoever that a Reform UK Council in Bexley will be on Sadiq Khan’s side.
A Reform win in Bexley would likely help educate the woeful Ms. Cunningham and the local party
has already made a move in that direction by getting her to attend one of their
meetings this month.
