4 April - Johnson and O’Neill; together again
Thanks
to Civic Centre leaks, Bonkers was able to be at Erith railway station at 10 this
morning to see Mayor Johnson’s photocall publicizing the extension of the
London
Low Emissions Zone regulations to small vans from January next year. It clearly wasn’t
intended for public consumption as apart from Council Leader O’Neill and
Moneybags Tuckley there were only a few press photographers, some
representatives from the motor trade and a couple of Boris’s aides present. Unlike Bexley’s
fat cats, Boris didn’t see the need for police protection or hired bouncers. The
aides asked everyone with a camera who they represented and when told, asked if
there was anything they could do to help. Bexley council please note.
The
Leader, coincidence or not, had her back towards me nearly all the time and I shall
spare you the photo of that view, but her young companion may be easier on the eye. See photo gallery.
If you are asking yourself what has this event got to do with Bexley you are not
alone. I put the same question to one of Boris’s aides. She said “nothing”. One can only assume that it is because
Boris “admires”
Teresa and the fact she has agreed to bumble around London for him paid solely by Bexley’s taxpayers.
