23 May - What’s going on in Blackfen?
It would probably be unwise to say exactly what I think of Kier Starmer and
his treacherous crew in our police state but probably I can get away with saying
that his daily tyranny is seriously depressing and I look forward to the Prime
Minister’s early demise.
The only encouraging sign is that I appear not to be alone; his 18% support
[of eligible voters] at the General Election
has fallen off a cliff. Unfortunately, the only way forward would appear to be a vote for Reform UK.
A party that is clearly not very good at vetting candidates. Yesterday they scored 78% in the by-election in Ongar which is not so very far from Bexley.
The
comments coming out of the Conservative (former Conservative?] X account for
Blackfen appear to be welcoming the new political direction.
Three days earlier the same account said “The Polls out today showing the
Conservatives in 4th Place mean that Blackfen and Lamorbey will get new
Councillors next year and there WILL be a new Party running Bexley. Survey after
Survey in B and L says the same, people need change and Bexley needs Reforming”.
Another unusual development is that @BandLWardNews began to follow @BonkersBexley
on X. A small number of Conservatives have done so for a long time but never before has an ‘official’ Conservative account.
My guess is that the account was run by Councillor James Hunt and after the Conservatives
failed to select him for May 2026 he feels able to tell the truth.
I must admit that a near total wipe out in Bexley, as happened in Dartford three weeks
ago, might be interesting, just as long as Reform UK can find a candidate (or
forty five) who is not thoroughly dishonest.
