When BiB was supported by six regular Council agitators and a rather larger number of occasional informants the blog was
their publicity channel. It’s a formula that has had its day now that there are
no regular supporters (well past 80, moved away or died) and very few casuals. BiB is a shadow of its former self
reporting only what drops into its lap.
But it is still occasionally criticised which is fair enough because blogs can be deliberately provocative. This one for example.
The ULEZ saga submitted by @tonyofsidcup was a
recent case in point, criticised mainly for its
failure to recognise that Mayor Khan is an undemocratic cash grabbing liar who
abuses or ignores statistics and public opinion.
More recently the Bexley Labour Party’s Press Release came in for some stick for
allegedly being a National production regurgitated for Local use accompanied by
the barbed comment that there was no one in the local party capable of
putting such a document together from scratch. More to the point it was criticised for offering no solutions to the “Conservatives crashed the economy”.
Councillor Zainab Asunramu is right. The economy has pretty much stalled, the cost of living crisis is
deepening, NHS waiting lists are out of control and nothing works any more.
Can’t really argue about that but what is he going to do about it? Vote Labour
is his only answer as if that is the solution to all our ills.
Can anyone point to a Labour policy that would steer the country in the right
direction? Even the trade unions think Starmer is wrong on the economy
and on top of that we have his nauseating opinions on various woke issues. I have a friend
who identifies as a raspberry trifle when asked for personal details by
the NHS and authority in general but it is his idea of a joke. Lefties go along with children identifying
as cats or the moon and woe betide any teacher that misgenders them. Whatever gets into their stupid heads?
The Conservative Government has proved itself to be incompetent, corrupt
and dishonest and, with the aid of the Bank of England, they’ve caused the
hardships which far too many people now suffer. How come that I, and probably
most people, could see that years of unjustifiable low interest rates compounded by quantitative
easing would cause rampant inflation and successive chancellors couldn’t? Some,
notably the former Governor of the Bank of England who was asleep at the wheel,
now blame it on Brexit as if we are gullible fools.
Neither do they give up on hitting everyone where it hurts. Frozen thresholds
such that anyone with a decent job pays 40% tax. Taxing energy which affects the
price of everything. Net Stupid to drive petrol cars off the roads and
economical central heating systems out of our homes. Even at the piffling end
off their economic incompetency, proposing to ban BOGOF deals, adding a levy to food
containers and a further recycling tax on all food packaging. The Conservatives are
on a mission to destroy us and must be certifiably insane.
I have come to the conclusion as someone who has voted Conservative at every
General Election (and most others) since 1964 that the party should be utterly
destroyed as soon as possible in the hope that a genuine conservative party will
arise from the ashes. With Sunak, Dowden, Hunt, Shapps, Cleverly and Mordaunt at
the helm there is no longer any hope, they simply plough on regardless.
Mortgage rates are a ticking time bomb.
Who could be worse?
Well, Starmer, Rayner, Reeves, Dodds, Cooper, Thornberry and Lammy just for starters. We are well and truly into deep
doo-dah!
At my advanced age I am unlikely to see a prosperous country and freedom loving
government ever again so maybe it is time for a leap into the dark by kicking the
present bunch of hypocrites and crooks out of office ASAP.
Labour will no doubt wreck the economy again and worse, knowingly change the country permanently.
For the record
the selfish cretin was back this morning.
