Police and Manston for Bolivian marching powder

Yet another Sunday unmarked 747 with illegal overflights into Manston at 10am yesterday.

Another wasted year for Thanet

You do wonder at the incompetence of our MP’s, councillors and civil servants – and the public simply allowing them to continue. The Summer nearly over. Seaweed on the beaches. Xmas lights that are faulty. £100k salaries for Town Clerks to spend £20k. Festivals cancelled at the last minute. Silence on Thor and Manston overflights. And with the missing Manston fines will McGonigle be signing off the TDC accounts with he 0% salary fraud. Maybe that's the way it's done with public sector accounting. A handy lesson for all Thanet's youngsters in public sector and political fraud and whitewash. More cancer overflights at Manston, and the ludicrous farce of debating the operating restrictions that already exist - and the silly pretence that they’ve been ignored. I thought I’d write something a bit different. An airport on the drinking water supply. An illegal overflight at 21:45 and take-off at 23:33 with the airport closed - how do Infratil get away wi...

Younger Thanet. Greener Thanet. Ground Zero Kent.

I thought I’d write something a bit different. An airport on the drinking water supply. An illegal overflight at 21:45 and take-off at 23:33 with the airport closed - how do Infratil get away with it under Kent Police's nose? Another summer gone and fewer tourists than ever. The Turner Centre with made-up visitor numbers for another disastrous glory project after 15 years and £50M. Even in January after the Night flight consultation debacle, Bayford and Sandys signing off on Carter and Infratil’s Manston parkway nonsense and £10M tax-plans. Anyway. Same old ho-hum. Clearly the pensioner councillors have failed us. Now simply trying to cover-up...

I thought I’d write something a bit different. You do reach a point where you just wonder at the incompetence of our MP’s, councillors and civil servants – and the public simply allowing them to continue.

Clearly the pensioner councillors have failed us.
