20 March (Part 1) - Bexley Council’s 2,000 lies. Here’s another one
I have always been
uncomfortable with the use of the word liar on Bonkers; I suspect it may come
from my mother always drumming it into me that it was a word that is not used
in polite society, but In Bexley it is impossible to get away from it because
that is what our Council does all the time.
For the record, and it is a strange numerical coincidence, there are exactly
500 occurrences of liar on BiB right now and exactly 800 of lying. (Lie and Lies add another 882.)
Yesterday Bexley Conservatives X’d that the Labour Party - implying the
local Group - tried to close down Bexleyheath police station in 2017.
At a local level that was a total lie. (883 occurrences now.)
At the time the Labour Group submitted several letters to the Mayor’s office
while the Tories merely waved placards.
(Letters to the Home Secretary and
the Deputy Mayor.)
Below you can read a short extract from one of Labourְ’s submissions and listen
to Bexley’s Conservative Council Leader thanking all three local MPs - i.e. including
Labour - for their help and support. (Apologies for appalling webcast audio quality.)
Later in the same meeting an
unnamed Labour Councillor was accused of favouring police
station closure but when Stefano Borella said no one in his Group wanted to see
it closed and asked for the ‘offender’ to be named it was admitted that the allegation was without foundation.
But seven years later they repeat the lie hoping that my archive will not prove them to be lying again.
As they most certainly are.
Bexley Labour pleads with the Mayor's Office for Policing to retain Bexleyheath’s police station.
Bexley Labour welcomes the success of their campaign.
Leader Teresa O’Neill thanks the Labour MP for Erith and Thamesmead for her support.
