The
implication of the X post by Bexley’s Conservative Group which you may read here is the most outrageous lie. The Labour Group
spoke in
favour of the Freedom Pass at the recent Cabinet meeting. The Labour Leader said that while
Labour is in charge in London the Freedom Pass will never be abandoned. Bexley
Cabinet Member Richard Diment said much the same thing.
At the last Council meeting the Labour Group put forward an Amendment to the
Conservative budget proposals. It was in effect the Tory plan with additions.
It therefore included the Freedom Pass and many other things. At the vote the
Conservatives voted against the Labour Amendments and the Labour Group voted against a
Tory budget that did not include the extras they had called for.
They emphatically did not vote against the Freedom Pass and any suggestion they
did so is the work of the congenital liars who speak for Bexley Conservatives.
You will note that the Tories got close to acknowledging their untruth by turning off commenting on their post. Maybe Bexley
residents should turn off voting for them at the forthcoming election. Bexley
has been a Council built on lies for many years and it would seem that they have no intention of changing direction.
