25 November (Part 2) - What The Papers Say

Thanks to Bexley Conservatives (@bexleynews) for drawing my attention to today’s Guardian, I would never have known otherwise. To me it doesn’t look like The Guardian being upset but Bexley Conservatives upset from having their financial problems get beyond The News Shopper but there is not anything wrong with The Guardian’s financial report. 304 jobs, one in five jobs to go, a £15 million begging bowl is all exactly what the Finance Director said before the microphones a week ago.

The only inaccuracy concerns CCTV monitoring; Bexley Council abandoned that five years ago.

Exactly the same figures as were reported here a week ago and Bexley Council has never had to correct anything written here over the past eleven years. When a Croydon Councillor Tweeted inaccurate information Bexley Conservatives endorsed it. When The Guardian hits them with figures taken from their own mouths they become cry babies. And most of us voted for them!

P.S. I am told that the story was picked up on the BBC London News (TV) this evening but since I didn’t buy a licence and I’m a law abiding citizen I wouldn’t know about that sort of thing. Incidentally, The Guardian is crammed with adverts for jobs in Bexley; all from Academy Schools.
