20 April - Health foods, Bacon and hot potatoes
It’s repetition I know but thank you again for the
kind words following my affliction with the dreaded flu bug. It seems I am not
alone in suffering it and some have had to be checked over in hospital. It’s not
been just kind words either, I can barely believe that health foods and vitamin pills
have been left on my doorstep along with get well messages.
I feel my present condition is not unlike Bexley council’s Children’s Services. Signs
of improvement compared to the recent past but still a long way from how things
should be. Councillor Read might describe me as fighting fit, but as yet I am not.
The grey matter is certainly on a go slow. Today two more political leaflets have been added to
the library of
such things but with far too many technical mistakes along the way. However
Stefano Borella’s (Labour) and
Chris Attard’s (UKIP) Bexleyheath and Crayford leaflets are probably now safely on line.
It is quite a long time since the
criminal allegations against councillor Cheryl
Bacon, Will Tuckley and his legal Team Manager Lynn Tyler were last mentioned here,
these things always take ages. It’s four years to the day (†) since councillor Peter
Craske’s telephone line mysteriously transmitted
all that illegal homophobia to
the web - and the repercussions are still rumbling around the pending trays of
the IPCC and the Metropolitan Police.
Greenwich police have always been very supportive of the case and clearly regard
lies and the council’s refusal to investigate whether of not the allegations
were false, as very serious issues. My expectation was that Bexley council would inject some of their
well practiced “political interference” but so far at least there has been no sign of that having any effect.
My last communication from the police requested I did not make the details public so
all I can say is that my confidence in the investigating police officer is
further enhanced and I am more convinced than ever that he knows that the case
against the wife of
London’s highest paid councillor is well founded.
Whether we will see Cheryl Bacon and her cronies behind bars, or even in court,
is another matter entirely of course but the thoroughness of Greenwich police’s
investigation and their determination to see justice done cannot be in any
doubt. Whilst I have no proof that it was him, I believe it may have been Chief
Superintendent Peter Ayling - former Bexley police commander - who had the good sense to pass this hot potato down the road.
Pulling strings for Bexley council had already got him into quite enough trouble
already. That case is in a pending tray somewhere in New Scotland Yard too.
