17 October - Rewriting history

Until the next two Scrutiny meetings are over and done with BIB is likely to be quiet. I cannot be at this evening’s Children’s Services meeting so it is fingers crossed that that they do not screw up the webcast as they did last time. Will the Committee comment on the three big Local Government Ombudsman failures in August? The Agenda suggests they will.

I think I have gone through all the anonymous messages from people who appear to know the inside of Bexley’s Ivory Tower. I found some of the short financially based comments a little too esoteric for publication here. If I am not quite sure what the real message is I am reluctant to repeat it.

If any contributor feels aggrieved or I have missed something non-financial, then you know what to do.

The recent slack period has been used to restore some of the old blogs. It happened so long ago that I cannot remember exactly what happened but intending to edit one page the software was inadvertently set to Global and I wrecked the lot and they were taken off line. If you ask why I did not revert to a backup, I have no idea. There must have been a reason at the time.

The IT accident seemed like an opportunity to regurgitate the old stuff in the current format and at one point I was not only checking all the links but also searching out old photos to improve their online quality.

In practice that was taking years of spare time - literally - so a few months ago I abandoned hunting for and reprocessing old photos and things speeded up considerably. The years 2009 through to 2014 are now complete and the most recent update is 2nd January 2015. It deals with a parking injustice in Abbey Road, Belvedere. It still exists to this day, fining people unfairly, and I am absolutely certain that Bexley Council knows about it - because I showed them in person myself.

Despite the headline very little text has been changed. Some of the dishonesty reported is absolutely shocking however one Councillor is no longer consistently referred to as a liar because I am now almost certain that she was set up by dishonest Council Officers; none of whom reside in the Ivory Tower any longer.

Whilst 2018 is on the menu it is incomplete and unchecked and mainly there to support link backs from 2019-2023.
