30 September - Of snowflakes and melts

Bexley’s Code of Conduct Committee held one of its rare meetings last week; the usual waste of time. Without names and the ability to check out what Councillors supposedly did wrong, just what is the point? How can residents get any insight into the character of the Committee, the accused or the accuser? It might as well not be held in public at all.

At the last meeting I attended, more than a year ago, the accuser was the Labour Group keen to seek revenge on the Independent Councillor for Thamesmead East. Their complaint was out of time and a decision was promised within two weeks. In February we were still waiting for that decision. There is a probable reference to it in the Agenda extract below.

TweetLast week the complaints were mainly about Tweets, no one will be surprised, but who are the snowflakes who get worked up about the musings of Councillor Davey and the like?

He gets it in the neck regularly for arguing with the Left while the poisonous duo who post deceptions regularly under the pseudonym @bexleynews are untouchable because of their cowardly anonymity.

I used to welcome Councillor Read’s Tweets and miss them now that he has gone a bit quiet and I will always defend Councillor Davey while he continues to make me laugh at the expense of the Left.

I slightly regret my comment in January 2018 that Sadiq Khan is the worst thing to hit London since the Luftwaffe because John Davey used the same turn of phrase a couple of weeks later and finished up being a news item in the local rag.

But not for the first time, Councillor John Davey was right on the money.
