As
I walked
through the streets of Richmond borough last Saturday I was struck by the
number of political posters in front gardens and windows. Every single one of
them was for the Lib Dems. As I said to my friends, they should have added “Vote
Lib Dem for the highest Council Tax in London”.
I felt sure I’d not seen a poster in Bexley so yesterday I kept my eye open while on my travels.
There was nothing adorning the house of the Labour Councillor who lives not far
away from me so I ventured a little further until I found a poster.
It was adorning the front door of a new and as yet unsold (the agent’s board is still there) block of flats that has
featured on these pages before.
The Boozer Butcher of Belvedere is
endorsing the two Conservative Candidates for Northumberland Heath, Dwayne Brooks and
the one whose name is no longer mentioned here.
At least we can take a good guess as to
why that is.
In Northumberland Heath the other candidates are the unfortunately named Baljeet
Singh and Wendy Perfect (both Labour) with Liberal Democrat Paul Bargery also
looking for your vote.
Note: Sally Hinkley has since told me that the omission is rectified.
