17 November - Bexley-is-Bonkers has a companion
I first came across the name
John Watson
at the end of September and subsequently bumped into him at a council meeting. He is a
man with a legal background who has accumulated a huge dossier of papers going back
several years - decades even - about wrong-doing at Bexley council. I asked why
he hadn’t put it on the web so residents could judge for themselves whether we
have a council run by crooks and criminals or not. He said he wanted to but had
been let down by someone he engaged to help with the technicalities, so I
encouraged him to do it himself. It is at a very early stage at present but should expand rapidly. The
opening announcement
went on-line today. I fully expect
to nick bits from it from time to time and in all probability this site will continue
with its ‘News of the World’ tabloid style and John’s will be nearer
The Daily Telegraph Expenses Files which did so much damage to politicians in Westminster.
Back to the every day stories of councillor folk; The News Shopper reports that traders in
Crayford are having much the same trouble with Craske’s gestapo as the one
reported here two days ago. This time councillors
Seymour and
Lucia-Hennis are quoted as saying they
have “every sympathy”. Well that is nice to know as traders are forced
to the wall by Craske’s policies. Councillor Seymour said he would be asking the
parking contractors to adopt a “more proportionate response”. Why doesn’t
Seymour have a word in the purple faced midget’s ear and tell him straight that his
policies are turning shopping areas into ghost towns? For the time being I
shall assume that these two councillors have their hearts in the right place
even if their heads aren’t fully engaged. When their words prove to be hollow
you will read about it here.
