Time for Change: Campaign for an Independent Green Thanet MP and Ramsgate Mayor

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 dange...

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...

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 Mansto...
