Kent on Sunday Article: Burma and Korea and Armed Forces Day

Sincerity Agency article (www.sincerityagency.com): http://www.kentonsunday.co.uk/blog.aspx?bid=598 KOS blog version above and article on P.25: http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/launch.aspx?referral=other&refresh=7Cx1e20Q0D8q&PBID=d7d2b9a4-64e8-44e3-9e11-33b67854552c&skip= Unedited version with some info on Ramsgate Town for Heroes below: A forced Forces Day? Tim Garbutt asks if today’s Armed Forces Day looks to the past or the future. Are you out celebrating Armed Forces Day today? It’s still somewhat of a strange day created by Gordon Brown in 2006 to shore up support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – yet now downgraded from a public holiday to a celebration of the Forces albeit similar to Remembrance Sunday in November. Across the County there seems little sign of bunting or bands. Perhaps our heritage of Frontline Kent or Unconquered Invicta extends to Spitfires and Romans but not today’s Forces.

Manston cancer, Leader Bayford: Job #1

Congratulations on you new role Bob. How will cancer from Manston be reversed? The emissions levels are over 4x the EU limits.

Manston-on-the-drinking-water

http://savethanetswatersupply.blogspot.com/ Manston airport on the underground drinking water supply - see the map above - for 100,000 people. Sensible? Or silly? An airport not only built on the drinking water. But kept open. And the pollution levels detaield for years by the EA simply ignored by TDC's Planning Dept. We seem to have stale politicans that cling to developing an airport either for nostlagia - or simply because they've failed to develop anything else and wasted £60M of tax funds each year. And given all the problems at Manston would rather indulge in coverup and endangering the public. http://gopetition.com/online/19778/sign.html#se water petition
