Kent on Sunday letter:
Tim Collins writes eloquently on the potential for reform at Kent Police as elected Commissioner. Aside from a Most Wanted, or removing criminals from the Force or even reform of procurement and weapons, surely Kent Police are simply a political tool?
What else explains the silence over Thor mercury and repeated flight breaches at Manston airport and the mix of blatant lies and misinformation over the removal of noise and air monitors by Messrs Carter and Buchanan and various TDC officials including the now sacked-with-shtum payments Gang Of Four senior TDC political and civil service leadership?
Perhaps Chief Constable Ian Learmonth needs to get his trousers on and get some arrests made for corporate manslaughter before Kent Police is completely discredited – and cancer cases rise amongst his coppers.
Or is he waiting for Buchanan and his Infratil directors to hand themselves in, or simply fly away – and then rely on Tim Collins and his mercenaries – sorry, counter-insurgency strategists - to bring them back from Down Under in chains?
---
Another drab budget from the Cancer Councillors. Merely staffing up on the rates with a 20% increase of c.100k.
And bizarrely raising the rates to then save it – presumably for mistakes, pensions and shtum payments.
Of more concern is that Dave as a District Councillor as well as a Town Councillor seems incapable of reforming RTC or TDC.
Simply staffing up both when they’re the worst councils in Britain is just tax n’ waste: 750 staff at TDC and now 4 at RTC each on #40k salaries and pensions and expenses.
If they’re staffing but not sacking then it’s the same stale duffers sloshing around doing less just as badly.
And why have the same councillors duplicated in each council – one of them seems redundant. It’s just Party fanatics trying to stifle democracy and pad out their expenses. As Mayor I would withhold TDC council tax and fund joint services and cuts with the other towns.
With Prime Minister salaries and 0% fraud our civil servants seem to be relying on simply remaining silent on fraud and incompetence and cashing in as long as possible.
And the councillors supposed to scrutinize them actually helping them to do so at public expense and in secrecy.
Why haven’t the Police been called in for an investigation of Manston, Thor and our civil servants – or would they be investigating the Town or District councillors when they’re one and the same?
Thanet’s cancer victims seem to be relying on the very councillors that covered up the removal of monitors in 2006 – and fake reports every month since.
And why hasn’t the FOI of salaries, pensions, benefits and contracts been published each month – it’s been law since 2005?
Time for Police arrests
Time for less cancer
Time for TDC reform

Airport cancer and air pollution: BBC South East tonight
The Inside Out programme by BBCTV on air pollution at airports:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01bmq9z
In particular the health of airport workers jeopardised by fine pollution particles from jet engines.
Copenhagen Airport has 3x the air pollution than central Copenhagen’s busiest roads.
Heathrow and Gatwick refused to comment.
With Manston and Infratil already recorded at 4x the EU safety levels and removed air and noise monitors, the question now is when will the Police investigate this corprate manslaughter?
Why are the Police dragging their feet on raiding Infratil’s offices and arresting Buchanan? Every day simply causes more pollution requiring cleanup.
Cargolux - the last flights into Manston - remains silent on fines and why they are allowed to breach the overflight paths.
Similarly only silence from TDC on Thor mercury – surely Gale and Sandys should have a site visit as soon as possible with the Environment Agency and TDC.
The former specified how both sites posed no danger and how well-run the airport was.
Complete cobblers from beginning to end.
Let’s see them earn their MP salary and visit both Thor and Manston and view the pollution sites and figures.
No doubt these empty rosettes would rather be prepared to jeopardise any policeman or fireman who turns up to another fire and find barrels of mercury exploding all over them.
Or the toxic discharge leaving its legacy in their blood and bone for future generations.
Time to close Manston and Thor.
Time for a Police investigation into how the public have been endangered.
Time to jail Buchanan and extradite the Infratil Directors to face trial as Kent's Most Wanted criminals.
Time for Recall, Party deselection and P45's for our useless politicians and civil servants playing with the public's lives on the rates.
Time for Change.

Cancer Clive to call Cancer Police for Cancer Corporate Manslaughter at Cancer Manston?
Same-old same-old from the pensioners club at TDC.
Infratil’s Buchanan ignores the overflight restrictions and TDC let him.
Silence from new TDC Leader Clive Hart on the missing monitors and fines at Manston.
Silence from the new KCC civil servant on Manston and Parkway plop for the real Cabinet of Murphy, JCB, Tarmac, Carillion, and Costain. And Infratil.
Silence from McGonigal the new CEO at TDC after nearly a year on everything – including Pleasurama-Bungarama, Manston fines and EKO missing costs.
I thought the latter was a million-pound-memo of failure: it turns out it’s 10 million quid secretly sprayed up the wall.
Silence from Madeline Homer the new Brian White on construction bloat like the Caffyns/Rover garage and 3,000 empty houses and empty town centres.
Silence from Gale and Sandys on the cancer costs and fake consultations – some MP’s eh?
Sandys now with a sign on the office that it’s closed. And a year on from Pfizer the biggest blow to the Kent economy – only silence as 3,000 jobs drift away.
And now a flimsy TDC budget from the old rosettes to the new rosettes - prepared by the civil servants and would you believe safeguarding up salaries and pensions and cutting everything else.
Looks like the grannies and granddads have had their longnjohns pulled down by the civil servants again.
750 civil servants is far too many for a bottom 10% council, and 60M quid tax-take and 2Bn quid KCC tax and Treasury take.
2Bn quid. And half million quid payoffs for failure. We seem to be funding public servant and Party careers rather than public services.
A council tax strike sharpens their attention. Pay late. Pay the wrong amount. Delay.
It’s time for Cancer Clive to call in the Cancer Police and jail Buichanan, jail Carter and extraudte the Infratil Directors.
A Police inquiry into the failiure to potect the water supply and public.
Failure by Carter, King and Wilde at KCC.
Failure by Sandys and Gale
Failure by McGonigal, Sproates, Button and Berry at TDC.
Failure by Harrison and Hayton the Airport Committee Chiefs.
Failure at KIACC.
Failure by the Gang of Four and now the other rosettes.
For years. Deliberately and repeatedly.
Even now.
Removing the monitors and pretending otherwise for cancer jobs and vanity projects.
Stale pensioners and Part fanatics boosting their cancer tax-wages with double hat and paperclip roles in the councils while the public sicken and die and pay for the privilege.
And so foolish they’d even jeopardize their own grandchildren.
Another lost year in a lost decade.
Time to call in the Police and make some arrests.
I don’t remember aviation directors being above the law.
I don’t remember civil servants being above the law.
I don’t remember politicians being above the law.
Time for arrests and jail.
And time for a Police inquiry into the Environment Agency and Thor. Writing backside-coivering memos doesn't clean it up. Or stop the jail door from clanging shut.

Corporate manslaughter for Kent in 2012
With the rampant abuses at Manston from banned flights by Infratil to civil service endangering the public and political whitewash it’s time for corporate manslaughter charges against Infratil and KCC and TDC.
Removing noise and air monitors is a crime.
Especially for an airpot slated for expansion and funded on the rates.
Banned flights is a crime.
Banned overflights is a crime.
All we’ve had is the piecemeal removal of problems and scapegoats and payoffs.
Charles Buchanan the former CEO of London City Airport must know that.
So must Morrison and Fitzgerald and Clarke and the Infratil Directors for one of New Zealand’s largest aviation companies.
So must Flybe and Cargolux as they beat a retreat from fines and jail at Kent’s moist mismanaged airport.
So will Carter and King and Wild at KCC - funding Manston on the rates and ignoring the removed monitors.
So will, now, Hart and McGonigal at TDC – a year since the previous fake consultation and the sacking of the Gang of Four and Manston Parkway and now the ludicrous fandango and cover-up and silence goes on.
So will Button and Sproates and Berry at TDC responsible for monitoring and contaminated land and water.
So will Pearce at the Environment Agency.
Shuffling the memos around and looking for scapegoats and playing the blame game won’t stop the jail door form clanging shut.
Flushing out the scum and scoundrels of the Gang of Four is one thing as is a gong for Gale to ease his way into retirement.
No votes for poisoning your own citizens.
No tax-jobs for poisoning your own citizens.
But these are crimes.
Repeated and deliberate.
Cancer victim crimes.
The noise monitors were removed in 2006 – so the criminal pretence of monitoring.
With the monitors the airport would have closed years ago as a public helaht danger.
Not even with the crime of the runway on the aquifer and silence form outr councils.
It can’t be the money.
There’s plenty of well-paid staff.
There’s $2Bn in budget at KCC and $60M at TDC. And Ramsgate's missing $20M each year.
There’s at least $2M in missing fines – never mind the safety and terrorism danger.
It’s a political and civil service and aviation crime.
Here’s an example of the death toll from asbestos: http://hazards.org/asbestos/news.htm
– horrifyingly with 90% of schools still ridden with the substance.
Or Thor mercury banned in 1988 but remaining open.
These are crimes.
We seem to have accepted that politicians and civil servants can do as they like.
But they go to jail.
Enron’s criminal directors went to jail.
So will Buchanan and Infratil.
Archer and Aitken went to jail so will Gale and Sandys if they lie on oath in court.
So will our civil servants and councillors.
What they knew and when they knew it and what action they took will be key.
Denial and lies and silence won’t help.
The wheels have come off Kent.
Liars and thieves and cretins in power. The economy in freefall. Rampant overbuild. Closed services and bloated wages and pensions for failures.
As Mayor I will:
1. Police inquiry to jail Buchanan and Carter and extradite the Infratil Directors for trial
2. Reimpose the Infratil Manston fines
3. Cancel ChinaGate with the political payoffs
4. Cancel Pleasurama-Bungarama with the tax haven and mystery plans
5. Cancel the appalling overbuild of Caffyns/Rover garage: 39 flats and houses to replace 6 flats after Brian White council vandalism
6. Reopen all the closed museums and toilets and beach shelters and beach huts – and fund from tax
7. A quarterly P45 committee to review KCC and TDC civil service performance, staffing, wages, pensions and benefits – with full FOI
8. TDC council tax strike: funds redirected to the towns and reviewed with Police oversight
9. Impound and sell cargo ships berthed off Margate and a free electricity levy on the windfarms
10. A free tablet PC for every schoolchild – as in Thailand - and discounted mobile phones for under 16’s and OAP’s – as in India.
11. Pfizer and Viiv for Third World Thanet: TB vaccines, malaria and nets
12. End asbestos in schools
13. Impose car parking charges o Westwood Cross
14. A priority on no use empty housing and town centres - with specified room sizes: astonishing in the 21st centrury there aren;t specified minimu room sizes, property/land footrpint ratio and greenbelt and a Climate Change levy on unnecessary construction
15. Create a Utility Officer role for water etc
16. Review windfarm and solar and Port policies and end animal exports
Our pensioner-councillors and corrupt civil servants have failed us.
Nothing but lies and flannel and say nothing and do nothing.
And cancer for their children and grandchildren and even themselves.
Garbutt for Mayor in 2012.
Carter and Buchanan in Pentonville.

A Corrupt Kent Civil Service
An Open Letter to Sue McGonigal of TDC and Andy Mack District Auditor
Hi Sue and Andy
As the new TDC CE and former Finance Director and Auditor as you know I’m concerned at corruption within Thanet and Kent.
I’ve stood as MP and now Mayor on a "stop the pollution, stop the corruption, stop the construction" platform.
I’m astonished that you are reporting the TDC accounts are correct.
Clearly with now 2 Leaders resigned, political defections and one arrested – plus the senior KCC civil servant AWOL and corporate manslaughter charges and costs enquiries for expenses etc it’s astonishing.
Especially with:
• the 0% salary fraud and payoffs for failure of your predecessors
• TDC civil service staffing, salaries, expenses, pensions, benefits
• The stolen disabled grants used for carpeting your offices
• the unreleased costs on EKO: what seems to be a million pound meme for KCC and TDC to develop business parks – badly – on the rates
• the missing Manston fines: at least #2M
• political bungs eg ChinaGate donations
• Pleasurama Tax havens/mystery developments etc
• the missing Manston noise and air reports: for some 5 years now
• repeated overflights and an airport on the water supply endangering the public
• Thor mercury: banned but operating and unpublished toxin reports
• Where has Ramsgate’s #20M a year in council tax been spent?
• Ditto Tivoli Brook, Viking bay and Pegwell Bay
Clearly I hold you responsible for many of these serious failings: you have been in office in senior roles throughout this period.
Especially with Manston there have been deliberate attempts to downplay the environmental and public health dangers – hence emission levels 4x EU standards, banned planes and the ludicrous failure to allow overflights and the water supply dangers to continue.
Similarly every public consultation has been overwhelmingly against night flights – and repeated attempts to gain the opposite result.
Clearly whitewash and failure is not a valid use of public office - except to safeguard your own careers and pensions.
When will the figures and costs be published?
When will Manston and the S106 be closed?
When will the Police be called in?
I’ll publish this on my blog and forward to the Police, NHS and Southern Water and Cabinet for consideration.
My view is you should be fined and jailed and banned from public office for fraud and misuse of public office.
On a few minor points I note that:
• several depts have no service standards ie @we’ll reply when we like@
• the Commercial Property team and No use empty team have no budgets or grants etc – so presumably are being paid to do almost nothing
• the Port and Marina strategy is a year overdue
• the Margate Harbour flood defences seem flawed and dangerous
• Pfizer is due to lose 2,000 jobs in the next 12 months
• Dreamland remains derelict for another Summer?
• No 2012 activity or legacy activity exists
• the Caffyns vandalism development has c.40 flats and skyscraper cranes – when Thanet has 3,000 empty properties
These seem mere normal incompetence for a bottom 10% council but presumably for your Prime Minster-scale salaries and several years in office now you can advise on something better than staffing up with more civil servants, pay rises and no strategies of any merit other than random building?
Please advise.

BBCTV empty property scandal
BBCTV empty property scandal tonight - yet even in supposed pressure cooker South East: 9,000 empty houses in Kent.
Not even including property companies landbanks.
Why building more?
Why building on floodpalians and greenbelt?

TDC and KCC collapses
With support slipping away, the old Gang of Four crew are fading at TDC.
The Gang of Four are gone with pay-offs and now Police arrests.
And the KCC CEO no doubt being paid off with more shtum money.
With Independents holduing the balance of power no doubt there'll be calls to:
1. Establish Margate Town Council - with a reduction in size of TDC
2. Town tax funds paid direct to the Town Councils with sharing of services as necessary
3. FOI publication of TDC and RTC staffing and salaries, EKO, 0% salary fraud, Pleasurama contracts etc
4. Police inquiry into Manston and Thor
We seem to have our councillors bumbling along to protect their Party or face-saving given sub-standard council services and pollution and corruption.
I doubt any of them have raised the Manston issues with Charles Buchanan or Thor with Andrew Pearce of the Environment Agency.
Gale and Sandys simply remain silent after 30 years of failure and 18 months of nothing - mere Party hacks.
Our councillors are simply pointless.
Without even knowing TDC staffing and expenses etc how can they even run the council?
If they do know why hasn't the info been released?
The civil servants seem to be running the council for their own benefit and councillors randomly traipsing after them with empty yap and coverup endangering the public.
Time for jail for Carter and Buchanan.
Time to close Manston.
Time to cleanup Manston and Thor
