29 April (Part 1) - Two lovely letters

The first of two lovely emails received yesterday came from one of the lady election candidates in Longlands. No, not Ana(shua) Davies for breaking her instructions never to name her on Bonkers, but from Anita Paris who is standing for the Greens.

Far from taking issue with me labelling their leaflet a Policy Free Zone she instead sent me their latest which is not so reticent. That is the way to do it, not set up fake Facebook Groups in an attempt to deceive residents.

Even better, Anita is a Bonkers reader and because of it has learned something about, as she puts it, Bexley Council’s lack of transparency and accountability. Like me she is appalled by the massive waste of money spent subsidising The StoryTeller cinema.

Maybe not all Greens are as nutty as Zack. Below is half of Anita’s latest leaflet. (The second lovely letter was from a Labour candidate. See below leaflet.)
Green

The second lovely email came from Councillor Sally Hinkley (Labour, Belvedere). Not a word of politics in it but she had somehow got the idea that I might be under too much pressure or even unwell and was offering help if I should need it. Call her any time if I need a helping hand. Fortunately not needed yet Sally, but thanks. I learnt a little about her daughter who is doing so well with her GCSEs. She must be the same age as my granddaughter who is taking hers about now. In between playing in the women’s team at hockey when only just 16. (Have you seen the price of the protective gear?)

Not all Labour females are like Ana whatsername. Esther, Mabel and Teresa P. amply prove it and all gone, or soon to be.
