30 September - Google is our friend
It took four days for Google and Yahoo to find this new site and two more
days before the first disgruntled Bexley resident made contact. It’s another
case of ask an awkward question and suffer in stony silence. Repeat ad
infinitum. I think I shall have to recommend this one is referred to the
L.G.O. The repeatedly unanswered question if
acted on might save a lot of money and by implication council jobs. The problem
with all forms of government and quangos is that they have a vested interest in
making work for idle hands to do to protect their salaries and final salary
pension schemes which few, if any, others have any more.
Today ten working days have elapsed since my enquiry to Andrew Bashford about
the accident two weeks ago. I said if he
didn’t reply I was going back to the L.G.O. with another complaint about him. I
got a quick reply.
Getting back to Google for a moment, I find it a little amusing that a search
for ‘Bexley Politics’ currently takes you straight to my
criticism of the local
Labour party. I bet they wish they hadn’t asked me to keep their last
communication now. It takes a little more perseverance to locate the
equivalent Conservative page, but give it time.
