The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
26 June - “I can do what I like” - Click the YouTube button to see the video full-size
I have wasted too much of the day trying to find out why the inclusion of the
‘flipping pages’ on 23rd June was stopping this page being
displayed with
larger or justified text and now that that fault is fixed I am not going to
spend much time on a blog. I bring you instead Olly Cromwell’s video from last Wednesday’s
Public Realm meeting.
I should perhaps point out that I and my immediate colleagues play by the rules at council meetings and don’t go beyond
investigating and reporting on what we believe to be a thoroughly disreputable
council but we fully recognise that for some it is too leisurely an approach.
Sometimes the alternative approach is more revealing as with this video in which
councillor Linda Bailey (Danson Park, £22,615) tells the world that she “can do
what I like”. Those few words neatly sum up Bexley council’s entire attitude to practically everything.
Press the central Play button to start the video. I believe the audio is
deliberately masked until after the police have finished with the tape.
