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

I really do think the Courts and law are out of control - heading to the American system of suing everybody for everything. But also the last bastion of societal imbalance with over 80% of the c.150 High Court judges from the Eton/Oxbridge circuit and having done little beyond law degrees and then law practice. And a similar imbalance in the rest of the legal industry. No doubt topping up costs with suing people for clearing snow from their driveway and drink-driving loopholes and so on. UK courts are notorious for incompetence and libel tourism too. I'm dealing with a legal case with the GlickQC fraud of fake costs - but a refusal to provide them to the bar regulator etc. Exactly the kind of fraud highlighted in the Clementi Review of failing courts. One of those dismal fraud-but-not-fraud/no-fault cases it seems. And as with TDC the Police shuffling their feet and refusing to get involved or the reports I'm hearing at Kent Police of ongoing reduction crime fig...

As Kent collapses here's my October review of the various public sector organisations performance: 1. Kent Ambulance: excellent 7 minute response from target of 15 minutes and paramedics forward-positioned in the towns for the Dead Pensioners of Winter. No doubt another bumper crop this Winter: 20,000 pensioner excess deaths last year. Excessive private ambulances though. 2. Post Office: rather excellent postal service from postbox to postoffice. The occasional whistling Great British Posty too. Second Class but almost First Class. 3. Kent Fire: developing Road Accidents review and Coastguard merger. More effort needed on smoke alarms. Excessive trouser crease but does disguise the soot. 4. Kent Police: scared to make arrests with Infratil, Glick QC, KCC etc. Some successes on drug dens hauls and people trafficking. Wasteful uniforms and guns policy. CPS and Courts and Undercover Police/Special Branch beyond democratic scrutiny. The latter no doubt wiretapping MP's rat...

Kent Police crumbles. A Force on the run scared to make corruption arrests whether 0% fraud or EKO or Infratil corporate manslaughter or Environment Agency cancer sites at Thor and Sericol and MOD Fire. Kent Council Governance crumbles with elderly council cardigans covering up the mess through inaction and bumf and waste. Yet another Kent hospital in Special Measures. Unable to provide basic hygiene never mind deal with Ebola or TB or the UK's 20,000 dead Winter pensioners. £20M in TDC salaries for one of Britain's worst councils. £2.3BN (that's billion with a b - a Third World GDP budget) for potholes and teacher's salaries and allowing asbestos and tobacco shares and Top Temps fraud. Disastrous regeneration from the collapse of Pfizer one of Western Europe's largest employers to the destruction of Dreamland a top ten UK tourist attraction. RTC reissuing the empty Town Plan again: 3-5 years of inaction. Failed. As Mayor and MP I will ask Greater M...

Kent in freefall. Year Zero. Ground Zero. Third World Thanet. There's really no excuse for it. Sure there's mistakes and mishaps but the collapse of governance and the economy in Kent and East Kent goes beyond that. The corruption and incompetence is rampant and blatant. And Kent Police are simply too scared or too lazy to do anything. So are the CPS. Both established by the public to preserve law and order - and justice. And funded to the tune of over £300M. Plus the costs of the Courts and Prisons. And what do we have? A Police force running scared. Scared to investigate TDC corruption. Scared to investigate the 0% fraud by Macgonigal and Moores. Scared to investigate the Pleasurama tax haven fraud. Scared to investigate banned Thor mercury. Scared to investigate polluting Southern Water. Scared to investigate the Infratil and Gloag missing monitors and fines. Scared to investigate Glick QC and BSB fraud. Scared to investigate the KCC Jimm...
