26 November (Part 3) - Just what is the point? Where is the sense?

Tweet liked twiceFor years I have been picking apart the Tweets put out by Bexley Conservatives because so many are designed to deceive and occasionally they are so very obviously untrue. It is surprising that they have not deleted their latest.

More scrupulous people would have had second thoughts about the wisdom of their Tweet. Just what is the point of sending something out to their 1,400 followers when so many of them send it to many more in total with critical comment?

If I have learned anything from my lockdown boredom relief project of restoring old blogs (†), it is the need to safely store as many graphics and photos as possible at a decent resolution for later retrieval.

Photo finding has taken far longer than recoding technically outdated pages. Currently I am working through February 2013 and it is a toss up whether I finish first or the Government regains some sanity.

To make sure @bexleynews mischievous Tweet won’t prove impossible to find in years to come it is preserved here along with the replies.

Two likes and ten adverse comments. There are sensible Conservatives on Bexley Council; most of them probably. Why do they allow their reputation to be tarnished in this way?

† After some restructuring changes more than two years ago were followed by a misjudged global file name change which broke the site almost beyond repair. If it were not for lockdown I would have abandoned it.
