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

Kent has failed. Deep structural Meiji-style reforms are required. 25% youth unemployment is a disastrous legacy from Kent’s pensioners. Manston airport is yet another failure. And the councils removing the air pollution monitors to poison their own citizens for this vanity project of tarmac. Discovery Park is mired in the mud of building more housing estates. 90% of the Garden of England’s orchards have gone – when food security is ever more important in a Climate Change world. The grinning Deaths-Head of cattle-truck UKIP racists of like Farage and Latchford blaming the Romanians or Bulgarians or Swiss for Britain's problems or borders. And no Climate Change policies at all. The County with the longest coastline in an era of hotter summers and wetter winters will slip beneath the waves. Or at least the rows of empty housing estates built on flood plains will. All policies designed to cut Kent’s own throat. Kamikaze Kent. Yet it doesn’t have to be this way. ...

Time for Meiji reform in the UK too. With less than two years to a general election UK governance has simply ground to a halt. Nothing. HS2 hi-speed rail is not such a bad project - now it’s starting from the North rather than minor improvements to London-Birmingham rail. But 15 years before it’s finished. The economy has barely scraped back to 2008 pre-recession levels and no substantial growth in sight. A few Budget tweaks or blaming Romanians are irrelevant. And we now have the collapse of the national Parties into regional groups: Labour in the North and Tories in the South and SNP in Scotland and Plaid Cymru in Wales. And not one Climate Change policy. The greatest threat to humanity. Nothing. A Georgeville 20,000 housing estate in Kent is as random as Boris Island – especially as nobody in Kent has even been consulted and there are 23,000 empty houses already. So much for voting for Carter or anyone else in Kent. While the collapse of Kent and certainly E...

Stop the Pollution. Stop the Corruption. Stop the Construction. Old Kent and KCC and TDC councils have failed us with numerous corruption and pollution incidents, massive waste and incompetence and white elephant construction projects. Along with broken coastal towns, 20% youth unemployment and pensioners dying of cold - and no Climate Change policies at all. A County for pensioners and thieves stuck in the 1970’s. With a Westminster Village Parliament only concerned with Eton trifles and Party bickering in the worst recession in living memory. In Kent, Sandys has resigned and Gale will go too. Failed. Time for Change Vote Garbutt for Mayor in 2014 and Parliament in 2015: 1. UN Parliament elections for global democracy and reduce tax waste in the UN, EU, IMF, OECD etc: already agreed by the UN but drifting through inertia. Time for UN elections in 2015. 2. Global vote at 16: agreed for Scotland in 2014 and already in Brazil, Austria etc. Time to be made law in 2015....
