26 March - Bexley’s liars are vote losers - or maybe just losers
I was pleased to see that I was not alone in finding the latest round of Bexley Conservatives’ lies…
a total electoral turn-off. (Two extracts from a reader’s email follow.)
The Government’s £150 rebate is not part of Bexley Council’s budget and Labour Councillors did not vote against it
for the simple reason they are not MPs in Westminster.
As my correspondent notes, Bexley Council has no idea how to administer the rebate to
those who do not pay by Direct Debit but my recollection of the Council meeting was that those in arrears will get the rebate.
However the dreadful deceitful duo who besmirch the names of every decent
Conservative Councillor and election candidate in Bexley have not entirely
wasted their time, they have put paid to my wavering over where the X should go in May.
At both General and Local Elections I have for nearly sixty years only not voted
Conservative when the alternative was a friend, and even then I did not always
let heart rule head. This time all three of my Belvedere votes will go
against the lying Tories. There is a total lack of honesty in politics and it has got to stop.
Maybe with Esther Amaning, Daniel Francis and Sally Hinkley standing in Belvedere ward
I can just about use the ‘always Conservative except for friends’ line in future years.
