The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
26 April (Part 1) - Seems fair enough
I no longer look at the News Shopper. There was a time when I would be
looking at the online version as soon as possible every Wednesday morning. Indeed there was a
time when a copy would come clattering through my letter box the same afternoon.
Recently I’ve been very close to shutting off their email alerts but this morning
they regurgitated something which I had ignored earlier in the month. A Taxpayers’ Alliance report on excessive Council salaries.
Bexley’s Chief Executive is the highest paid in South East London on £213,000 a year. Seems entirely fair to me. Bexley has by far
the highest Council Tax rate in South East London too.
That’s the way the system works isn’t it?
In 2012 when the Chief Executive was getting £209,000, Labour’s 2022 election
candidate for Erith told me and my friend Elwyn to our faces and while in the Council Chamber that
he didn’t think that sum was enough.
He wasn’t joking, he gave his reasons. Socialists (†). Don’t you just love ’em?
† This comment provoked an immediate protest that the
candidate is definitely not a Socialist. That is likely correct, he earned a lot
more money than I ever did! (Probably he alone could afford the 40% tax raid.)
Note. When I went to the News Shopper’s report my virus protection flagged up a TechScam threat.
