17 April (Part 3) - Look what I found
An
almost fully working
Bexley Labour website and so far I have not found any deliberate falsehoods
there which appears to be the trademark solely of the Conservatives. They are even at
it in Bromley where I recently picked up a copy of their leader’s election brochure.
Councillor Stephen Carr manages to slip in ‘lowest council tax in outer London’
four times. The truth is it’s second lowest, but admittedly a lot better than Bexley has achieved
and enormously better than what they have implied to the electorate.
Council leader Carr also claims that Bromley has the best recycling service in London
which is correct by some measures - what! you believed Bexley’s hype? - but on
the other hand my Bromley based friend has been caught several times tipping her
waste into my brown bin and I have never found the need to repay the compliment.
If
you take a look at the Labour website it might be best not to accept their
cookies. After I did so it required the repeated acknowledgment of a cookie
message on every new page, at least it did in Internet Explorer and Chrome. The
site worked perfectly well without cookies. Wordpress! It’s an abomination in my opinion.
