17 October (Part 2) - Bexley council criticized by leading Conservatives
If
these men look familiar it might be because you have seen them on TV. On the left is
Daniel Hannan who is Conservative MEP for South East England famed for
several speeches delivered to the EU in Brussels and Strasbourg. The second is
Douglas Carswell who is Conservative MP for Harwich and Clacton. Together they
run a website called Direct Democracy with the aim of “promoting the idea of
localism and participatory democracy within the United Kingdom”.
Somehow (†) they have stumbled upon Bexley council’s anti-democratic stance on… well
almost everything really. They have decided that Bexley council’s announcement
that they will ignore any petition calling on them to discuss top salaries is
beyond the pale. “Do they not realise how bad this looks?”
Probably not.
