10 November (Part 3) - Self inflicted wounds
I
was less than thorough when I stumbled across that advert for Melvin Seymour
painter and decorator extraordinaire endorsed by Bexley council. I took a quick
screen grab and drafted an FOI for someone to send but I didn’t know until the
court case the following day that Melvin Seymour had pinned his harassment case
on Olly revealing his address. I didn’t know then that Melvin Seymour had claimed
that his wife, his children, his grandchildren were all living in fear because
mad axe-man Olly had put a picture of Seymour’s house on Twitter.
No address mind you so only psychics and estate agents could pay a visit.
Maybe some sympathy is in order; Elwyn Bryant’s wife wasn’t best pleased when
Bexley council (or its associates) put Elwyn’s picture on the web labelled homosexual and I found it
hard to see the funny side when Bexleyheath police put me in their note book as his partner.
By comparison a picture of an anonymous maisonette in Crayford is hardly Crime of the Century,
but Bexleyheath police thought it was at least
Crime of the Month giving Bexley is Bonkers
(incorrectly) top billing in their newsletter.
But I am digressing again…
Not having fully grasped the significance of Seymour and Bexley council putting
Seymour’s address in the public domain, something Olly never did, my partial
screen grab was barely adequate, especially when Bexley council pulled their
gloss off the web as soon as they realised how deeply they had dropped Seymour
into the emulsion. So a frantic search of cyberspace was required and
not for the first time a search engine cache came up trumps. So I bring you with
a flourish of brushes and wallpaper paste the full unexpurgated endorsement by
Bexley council of Melvin Seymour’s decorating business. Please click on the
green picture to see how he really is a very good painter.
Marvel how every aspect of his work is absolutely top notch, how he gives his
address, and helpfully provides a map so you can visit, say good morning to his
wife, offer sweets to his grandchildren, help protect his children from mad
axe-men. And when you have done all that consider what sort of
self-serving,
immoral, perjurious bunch of amateur crooks would do a thing like that.
Is it any wonder they pulled the incriminating evidence the moment they realised
they were rumbled?
For the record it was Bonkers that put
Seymour’s address on the web. It was in the
public domain already and Bexley council had taken the trouble to bring its
Constitutional Committee together to decide whether putting people’s names and
addresses on the web was ethical and unanimously came to the conclusion it was all OK. But that was for
residents’ addresses, not special people, like Magistrates and councillors for
example who may not like it and can call on the police to lock up bloggers any
time they wish - even if they haven’t done what they are accused of. Hypocrites
is too mild a word to describe them.
Note to councillor Melvin Seymour. If you do not reside at
an address shown in the Register of Members’ Interests and repeated here, go and ask councillor
Ball for advice on what to do about it. (Can’t do much about the Trader Register
search engine cache though.)
