19 March (Part 1) - Medics’ pay. Useless cops. Stupid Councillors
Your Good Health!
Here we
have Bexley Conservatives taking the credit for the new facilities installed at
Queen Mary Hospital after it lost its maternity unit and left the borough
without local Accident and Emergency cover.
Maybe they have a point, these days it is difficult to see where Bexley Council
ends and the Health Service starts. For the past year they have shared offices
and it would appear share their taste for high salaries too.
I have seen some of these people
perform at Council meetings and they
were no better than ordinary. Next time you are told there is a two week wait to see
your GP give a thought to those responsible for seeing the number of doctors’
surgeries fall while the population increases.
Clinical Commissioning Group salaries.
From
the
most recent accounts. Five people, more than £700,000!
Fly tipping. Nothing to do with us guv!
A reader’s comment from a couple of weeks ago.
A
few weeks ago I was in the access road behind Kingswood Avenue alongside Ye Olde Leather Bottle and saw a truck
dumping rubbish. The truck’s registration number was noted.
The police were called but they were not interested. The truck had become stuck
in the mud so it would have been an easy cop but no, it was nothing to do with
them, they suggested contacting Bexley Council.
After being bounced around a few departments someone very helpful was located who came out immediately.
He arrived to see that the driver had put his rubbish back on to the truck and then another van arrived
to help get the truck out of the mud. The police had a golden opportunity to catch fly
tippers in the act but they couldn’t be bothered.
On a different note I now find myself in West Heath ward. Our new Tory candidates are Reader, Davey and Read.
I’ve Just looked at their publicity flyer and some of their claims are just downright distortions of the
truth. The voting decision in May will be very difficult.

Mobile Bonkers
Over the weekend a mobile friendly version of the blog pages was tested, hence no new blogs.
At present everything on Bonkers is specified to the very last pixel so image sizes
are fixed. The Mobile version allows them to expand or contract dependent on the
size of the viewing window or viewport as it is known. It works but it’s not
perfect. Why for example do all the Windows desktop browsers display everything
perfectly even if the Window is dragged to Mobile size, but the Android version
of Chrome displaces some images?
Note: When orginally published Part 2 was the penultimate item of this blog.
