7 October (Part 1) - Been there, done that already
There
has been a marked reduction recently in the number of anonymous messages arriving via that facility on
the Contact page and on balance I think that is a good
thing. If nothing else, the fact that one cannot thank the sender makes me feel
uncomfortable about such contacts; but yesterday the postman delivered an anonymous letter to a
rather magnificent addressee.
My address is not difficult to find, it’s in the phone book and on the domain
name owner lists and it’s by no means the first time a reader has chosen to
communicate in that manner. However I think it is the first that has been
anonymous and I'm not sure what the point of it is.
The envelope contained only three pages from the News Shopper dated 29th August
2012 and I am left to guess which articles are to be singled out for attention.
My suspicion is that one is a report on Bexley’s poor OFSTED results which were
mentioned on 29th August,
26th September and
again last week.
Maybe I should have made more of it when the news first broke instead of relying on the link to
Will Tuckley’s apology.
Another is likely to be the fact that Bexley council paid compensation to 121
motorists whose vehicles were damaged by potholes. This subject was
covered on 24th August
and the statistics showed Bexley to be far from worst of the bunch.
I have once or twice reported potholes to Bexley council and had them fixed
within the hour. There is one developing outside my house right now so maybe
I’ll be making another call soon.
The third News Shopper page covers only a failure by Bexleyheath police to
attend a serious a crime. I have to remind the reader that this website is called Bexley
council is Bonkers and only when the police in some way aid and abet Bexley
council’s criminal ambitions should police activity be reported here. I suspect
that rule has been occasionally broken but this is not primarily an anti-police
website. There are plenty of those already.
Having said that I have been looking for an excuse to bring to your attention…
…which
makes one wonder what Victor Olisa did about
PC John Lovegrove who stitched up a black youth
in court after being deployed to find a white knife carrier.
One might also wonder why this incident was never covered by the any of the local newspapers.
As usual, click the image for the original report.
