20 March (Part 1) - Bexley Council’s 2,000 lies. Here’s another one

Lying TweetI 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.
