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.
9 May (Part 2) - Who nearly won in Bexley?
I saw an X post which was bragging that Reform UK got more votes than Labour, Green and LibDem combined, but that is not really
fair. The LibDems and Greens did not field a full set of candidates. Only the
Conservatives, Labour and Reform UK did that.
The results pages posted on Bexley Council’s website are a bit of a mess, so the
only way to analyse the numbers is to extract individual figures and slap them into a spreadsheet.
It showed that over the borough as a whole, Conservatives and Reform
were in the same ball park but the newcomers lagged by about 13%.
Reform soundly beat Labour; very nearly twice as many votes yet Labour will be
the official opposition.
This is about as fair as TTK winning a large majority in 2024 when only 18% of
the electorate voted for him.
