19 March (Part 3) - Video stars
It can only be coincidence but three video links have been submitted by
readers over the past 48 hours. Pressure on web space limits those that can
be made available within BiB but overhauling old blogs has revealed rather too many
YouTube videos are deleted and cause links to be broken.
The
first suggestion was to link to the latest entry on
the anti-corruption website Crimebodge
which aims to reveal the dreadful levels of idiocy and corruption that permeates British police forces. It provides
an interesting commentary into police wrong doing with which I am all to familiar.
Don’t forget to read the comments on YouTube.
Another submission relates to the musical ambitions of one time Director at Bexley Council, Mark Charters.
Charters’ singing prowess was
put on show here once before but I am not sure I want to do it again so
here’s a YouTube link of him enjoying his retirement instead.
Finally
we have Gareth Bacon MP and Bexley Councillor with another of his excellent speeches in Parliament.
Not everyone has a high opinion of Gareth Bacon as illustrated by this message received at 2 a.m. this morning.

[15 months old news article.]
A while ago Gareth Bacon decided not to eat from so many troughs and give up as a London assembly member
and councillor for Bexley. Well he is still here and the elections are due in May. Can someone ask him when
he intends to dedicate his life to the residents of Orpington. I for one will not vote for him.
It seems to me that that is more than a little unfair. If Gareth had resigned his Bexley seat
in December 2019 it would have have caused a very expensive by-election
and a new Councillor for maybe fewer than three months. Presumably the same would be true of his GLA seat. He and
his Bexley colleagues wisely chose to defer the resignation.
Unknown to him and everyone else the country it was about to go into extreme panic mode and democracy was deferred for a year. Blame Gareth Bacon for
a crystal ball failure if you like but as excuses go his is a pretty good one.
Orpington Man should count himself lucky he has an MP who sticks up for
everyone. My constituency of Erith & Thamesmead appears to have degenerated into Ethics and Tabithas.
