30 April (Part 2) - Bexley twinned with Islington? God help us

The last few hours of the month is the best time to slip in a blog that you rather hope won’t be noticed but needs to be said anyway. So here goes…

I can see many reasons to never vote for a mainstream political party ever again and whenever I deviate from that resolve you can be sure another good reason will come along before long.

For me Rishi Sunak’s sacking of Andrew Bridgen MP from his party alleging he is an anti-Semite is worse than total nonsense, it is almost certainly part of covering up the Covid corruption. What he said (“the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust”) did not in anyway detract from the seriousness of the Nazi’s attempt to exterminate all Jews, if anything he was reinforcing it by referencing the worst crime ever, and he was in any case only quoting what an Israeli medic had said.

After initial condemnation Mr. Bridgen has since been invited to various functions by the Jewish community and supported by not a few British doctors. When the MP speaks in Parliament a Tory bigwig goes around the chamber telling MPs to leave, and they do. Labour, Lib Dem, SNP and Conservatives alike.

What have they got to hide? YouTube removes Bridgen’s clips from his channel. What are they so keen to hide? Fortunately Hansard survives.

Similar things happen in Bexley. Conservative Councillor John Davey (West Heath) who once stole my joke about Sadiq Khan doing more damage to London than the Luftwaffe and got his knuckles rapped for it had similar thoughts to myself when the British Iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was released from jail after the British taxpayer paid out £450,000,000.

Nazanin was not brimming with gratitude and reports said she planned to campaign for the Labour Party. Councillor Davey Tweeted that maybe we should ask for our money back and I smiled but Labour numpties went wild. Someone complained to Conservative HQ and the ultra-woke numpties who have wrecked that once great party had John out on his ear in no time at all. The Lefties who run Bedonwell school booted him out of the Governors’ office too thereby reinforcing many a view about the sort of people who infiltrate such offices and their part in the decline of the UK.

That being the case John sat as an Independent Councillor until the beginning of last week. Evidently the powers-that-be had realised by then that John Davey was not an avowed racist.

Unfortunately Labour people see racism everywhere and went wild again. While Bexley Council continues its financial assault on residents and fails with its policies on the homeless Bexley Labour spends its time writing a Press Release, not on the things that trouble potential voters like the Cost of Living Crisis, no they leave that to Dave Putson the Councillor they kicked out, but on John Davey’s alleged racism. The longest Press Release ever. (Dave self-funded five leaflets aimed at helping people to cope with the constantly rising prices. See below.)

The Conservatives nationally are intent on losing their core support and very successful they have been too but locally Labour seem to be more interested in niche issues which do nothing to help the people the party was founded to support.
