13 June (Part 3) - Some fat behinds need a good kicking
There are only two candidates who can unseat the Tories in St. Michael’s ward
on the 29th June. Sam Marchant for Labour and Keith Forster for UKIP.
Sam’s leaflet has been prominent on Bonkers for the past week but the
UKIP one has only just become available to me. Keith is right to say in his leaflet that Labour
has failed to hold the Conservatives to account but that is perhaps more to do
with numbers than dedication. Bexley Tories are not interested in debate, only in undiluted power.
It is not for me to recommend one opposition party over another; strongly recommending that
no one votes Tory already far exceeds BiB’s usual inclination to avoid undue bias. It’s not the fault of
this former Conservative voter that the Tories get nearly all the flak, that’s because locally
they are dishonest and is nothing to do with them wearing blue.
Having watched pretty well all the Council meetings of note over the past
five years I think I can say that the three UKIP Councillors are more likely to bowl a googly, rock the boat and
generally rattle cages than Labour who may be opposition but remain very much
‘establishment’. I rather like that but your vote might depend on the extent to which you
are inclined to back a rebel. I should perhaps add that I do not know either of the two opposition candidates.
Some arses need kicking in Bexley and St. Michael’s voters have the privilege of doing the rest of us a big favour.
