12 July (Part 2) - Lawless London
Readers will be familiar with the name @tonyofsidcup, a man who might be
described as one who doesn’t suffer fools gladly and certainly one to protect
his rights, whether they be civic or family ones. Not everyone appreciates his
occasionally hard line stance, but he is rarely wrong.
Yesterday while enjoying an evening at home with his wife a large builder’s hammer
flew through his window and landed on his daughter’s favourite sofa.
Fortunately she was attending an event at school at the time.
Quick off the mark, Tony was able to recognise the culprit and note his vehicle
registration plate and the police attended about half an hour later.
They may not be his most devoted fans but the police would be wasting their time
checking out Councillors’ workshops, far from it. Two Sidcup Councillors (Richard Diment
and June Slaughter) were quick to offer their commiserations.
I would be less than confident of any police action although I did once stir
Sidcup Police into action by revealing how a long gone Cabinet Member was
treating his neighbour. Harassment apparently. (I won, unless I count being
permanently blocked by @MPSSidcup on X as a failure.)
Despite being given full details of the culprit Sidcup Police have not been in
contact since yesterday evening and @tony’s JP friend has already indicated - I paraphrase - ‘best forget it’.
But don’t drop a sweet wrapper on the ground as it could cost £1,000. Is it any
wonder that the electorate rebelled last week?
