15 September (Part 2) - Another three years hard labour

Bonkers is 14 years old today and I have occasionally wondered whether it should be continued or put out of its misery. The popularity of blogs in general has waned over the years and with most of the big time liars on Bexley Council, both elected and otherwise, having gone to do other things, the need for it has largely gone.

In fact if you look at politics more widely you might conclude that while Bexley Council has gone some way towards cleaning up its act, politics in general has got ever more incompetent and possibly corrupt. I am looking at you Mr. Sunak. “Britain-is-Bonkers”?

But the decision has been taken out of my hands because without my explicit agreement to a three year extension, the relevant fees were charged to my credit card this morning.

So Bexley will continue to have two occasional sources of local news which don’t entertain advertisements or request donations. Arthur Pewty being the other one.
Bonkers renewal
Someone brought round a copy of Wednesday’s News Shopper this morning, Bromley edition. In a reference to the homeless camp in Abbey Wood they reported that they thought it was underneath the Harrow Manorway flyover; but not “definite”. That’s what comes from relying on Social Media for news and not having a local presence, not to mention being three months behind BiB.

Maybe three more years will serve some purpose.
