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.
