The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
22 June (Part 2) - Balancing the books
According to their draft accounts Bexley Council spent £48 million more last year than they did
the year before but their income rose by less than £12 million. Try doing that
to your household budget and see where it goes.
In a year when inflation was nudging double figures the staff pay bill fell by £8,634,000
which is getting on for 8%. Nothing was said at Council meetings about shedding staff numbers
as happened regularly in 2020 so I have no explanation other than that
offered to me a few years ago by a Senior Conservative Councillor. “I don't think they can add up.”
