23 July (Part 2) - The Old Scrooges Association
In
what must be the quickest FOI response ever, Bexley Council has told @tonyofsidcup
that the well funded Conservative Associations made no contribution to the Bexley Box scheme.
It is of course not quite the same thing but Bexley Conservatives made great
play of the fact that Labour Councillors boycotted the scheme, offering no help of any sort whatsoever.
The Associations could easily have offered a token gift on behalf of their Members but chose not to.
Just before the Conservatives’ refusal to put their hands into their pockets Bexley
Tories accepted a gift of £5,000 from the wife of a Russian oligarch.
What did they do to merit that?
