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.
4 March (Part 3) - Cyclists are disposable in Bexley
The last time I had a message from a Greg was in January 2018 when one wrote to say that he was battling
the same named crooked copper as I was at the time. Probably this is a different Greg, a parent of a child attending Gravel Hill School perhaps.
Greg version two drew my attention to
a News Shopper report on bad parking outside that school. In the cycle track
no less! Never having had a parking ticket in more than 62 years of motoring I
think I can just about get away with a sanctimonious response. These drivers are beyond contempt.
And so perhaps is Bexley Council’s response. (See below.)
Head of Highways Andrew Bashford accepts that parking in the cycle lane is wrong but as the Council has no money
there is little he can do about it. The lack of money is true and parking enforcement is currently a loss maker but to dismiss
the safety issues because cyclists are only put in danger twice a day seems to me to be somewhat iresponsible.
Maybe I am biased. Long term readers will know my history with Mr. Bashford. In stuck record mode, he quoted my son’s Transport Research Laboratory report
back to me and came unstuck.
Today Mr. Bashford is making unfortunate comments to a News Shopper reporter and - stand by for unforgiveable boasting - my son
is in China at this very moment advising the Chinese Government and their truck industry on safety issues.
Note: I find many cyclists to be absolute bloody nuisances who offer no consideration to other road users but so are many motorists. Why are so many in such a damned hurry?
