31 July - How to waste public funds
I
returned from a little social event yesterday and turned on the TV a few minutes
after eight o’clock. It presented me with a YouTube video filmed yesterday in
Bexley Heath (sic). Shortly afterwards an email alerted me to the same video and
provided the link which my TV does not.
I have no idea how YouTube managed to offer me a locally based video when I have
not looked at anything else remotely like it. Google knows too much about us. I
blocked YouTube on my router once as a protest against their censorious
attitudes but found it was impossible to get along without it. Too many news outlets rely upon it.
The video is three hours long and portrays a protest against Bexley Council thinking that getting
a bloke in a
frock to read stories to toddlers is a good use of taxpayers’ money.
The bits I sampled show a small group outside
both Crayford and Bexleyheath libraries who occasionally use a megaphone to say
not a lot. They are outnumbered by police who stand around doing nothing. The
largest number I saw in any one sampled shot was twelve. How much did that cost
and how many bikes were pinched while they were so occupied?
Members of the public who can occasionally be heard talking appeared to be
predominately against the wisdom of influencing young minds but not all of them.
Is it any wonder that the public is so against the way this country is being
governed? At the aforesaid social event I only knew one person in my group and ages ranged up to 92.
It was universally agreed that the Conservatives had thrown away their 80 seat
majority and achieved nothing of which one could be proud. There was also
universal agreement that no one could vote for Kier Starmer as he had no
policies and would likely make things worse.
What an awful state we are in now that woke Lefties have infiltrated every
aspect of society. Absolutely hopeless.
