18 January (Part 2) - Where has the money come from?

Stretching a pointFor some reason I found this X post by our Labour MP more than a little annoying. To be fair I find pretty much everything done by Labour MPs intensely annoying as they work to undermine our country, cover up a myriad of mistakes and crimes and put foreign interests above our own.

As I said to Councillor Smith before he started his meeting, how do these people live with themselves and do they really believe what they spout?

I suspect that most people have similar thoughts but where are these 10% of pensioners who polls tell us still think Labour is doing a good job? Never where I hang out.

YouTube is awash with people from comedians to barristers putting out videos deriding Starmer in particular and Labour in general. I have never seen the like of it before.

X is much the same but that may be a biased sample because for several months past I have muted anyone who can only debate with the C word. Almost by definition I have removed 100% left wingers.

Where can the right of centre go? Nowhere really.

Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch seems to get worse by the day and even if her performance improves her party is full of liberal bedwetters.

I had doubts about Reform UK from the moment Richard Tice wanted me to be forced into taking the Covid jab which probably killed a close friend and his mate Nigel is regarded with deep and increasing suspicion. I can’t see myself voting Reform UK again especially if it continues to field small time crooks as candidates.

But why did this picture annoy me so much? All the motley crew was doing is bragging about £900,000 being spent on Bexley’s potholes. Where did they get that number from?

Last Wednesday, a few minutes before Highways Manager Andrew Bashford announced that it was International Pot Hole Day and said there was talk of Government grants for pot holes being cut by 25% to combat some ruthless boroughs which have been spending the money on other things, the Chairman asked him how much money will be available for road maintenance next year.

Mr. Bashford replied that “the funding for next year, both revenue and capital side, has still not been fully confirmed. It may be signed off in February”. It may be spent on pot holes and it may not; street lighting may soak up more than last year. “The figures are all over the place.”

So why is Daniel Francis saying that Bexley has been given £900,000 by his Government especially when one of the people in his gang was sitting opposite Andrew Bashford when he said he knew nothing about it?

I get the impression that Labour is under instructions from on high to put out propaganda, true or otherwise, and MPs’ integrity counts for nothing. Same ol’ Labour - or Conservatives.
