31 March (Part 2) - Reform fires their starting gun
I was tipped off that Reform UK were going to meet at The Royal Oak last
night and there was still some haggling going on about allocating ward vacancies. I briefly
contemplated asking if I could attend but my regular Monday responsibilities put paid to that.
I got the impression that Thamesmead East was proving to be a bit sticky but I could be wrong.
This morning their nomination papers were submitted to Bexley Council so I
suppose it is time that I owned up to proposing one of the candidates. Does that
mean I have to vote for him? I used to vote for friendly local Councillors,
Labour or not, but cannot bring myself to do that any more after what Starmer
and Daniel Francis have done to this country. Sanctioning the murder of foetuses at the nine
month stage is a step too far. (And a lot of other things.)
The local Reform Chairman has
put out an X post on the subject
with the following photo attached. Inevitably it has flushed out an enormous
number of the great unwashed and brain dead.
I think I recognise some former UKIP Councillors there. Haven’t
they had enough punishment from Bexley Council in the past? A Director no less
even went as far as
maliciously editing and circulating video to make mischief
on behalf of his Tory masters.
Bexley is not the worst of Councils, they call ladies in charge of meetings
Chairmen, they have no Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, unless Crayford is an
exception - I never go there - bus lanes are not enforced and unused cycle lanes
are in short supply, but the ever increasing number of over-sized Yellow Box
Junctions does it for me. Simply spiteful. With luck the Tories will not be masters after May 7th.
Reform UK finalise their Bexley candidate list.
