20 October (Part 1) - Bacon headed logic
Bexley
council was again doing what it likes best last month, prosecuting people.
Someone from Orpington had plastered the town with 82 small posters so Bexley
council dragged him to court. If your dog strays or your cat doesn’t come home don’t tell anyone.
The man shouldn’t have done it, Bexley council is perfectly capable of
cluttering its streets
without help from anyone else but what is revealing about the case is cabinet member
Bacon’s reasoning. “It is an unnecessary distraction to motorists.”
Who takes any notice of a scrap of paper on a lamp post while driving by? On the other hand as
you come down Knee Hill, trying to guess
whether the tearaway speeding out of Thamesmead is going to go up the hill or not and which of the
two straight ahead exits the car in front is likely to take, you are expected to jot down the phone
number of Amber Cars. Every roundabout is similarly adorned and which councillor
is in charge of them now that Peter Craske is keeping the police busy? Bacon.
