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

And early next week is the announcement of the 7 Billionth person on the planet. Probably in Dadaab refugee camp – poverty slums and ethnic war seems apt for the 21st century. Here in Kent, not one public sector organisation supports the UN Millennium Development Goals – supposedly these should be adopted and adapted by each nation. No UK lead on establishing the UN parliament to ensure global democracy. Good news on: • Richboro to be demolished • Kent’s first solar park underway • Dreamland Tesco likely to be stopped Good news from the USA: • 100 US troops deployed into Uganda last week to destroy the Lords Resistance Army – thousands of women raped, hands and feet cut off and thousands of people killed • US universities adopting “conflict-free”policies to ensure suppliers of mobile phones and computers etc do not use “rare earths” from Congo etc. Good news from UK: • Dow Chemicals/Union Carbide responsible for Bhopal questioned over their sponsorship of 2012 Olympics • Ivory Coast ap...

Questions to ask Charles Buchanan and Bob Bayford at KIACC - these meetings are fairly random aren't they - given the KCC leadership battle for Carter: @ presumably night flights, and Manston Parkway are no-go now for public funds @ with monitors removed in 2006 when did you know @ why were they not replaced - they only cost a few thousand pounds and Infratil Group makes a profit @ independent monitoring shows emission levels 4x EU safety levels for at least a year - why were Sandys and Bayford supporting a Parkway and Carter helping Buchanan seek £10m of public funds @ has the shortfall in fines c.£2M been rebilled to Infratil - why not @ overflights are banned so why are they regular and unfined so far @ Pegwell is a SSSI site so why are Infratil dumping aviation fuel? @ should the airport be on the water supply - what is the delay in closing it The last night flight public meeting was a year ago in November - why the delay since then? Why the ludicrous manifesto pledges in May o...

So that's the monitors removed by Infratil and TDC. But they're claiming they are monitoring. And this has been going on since 2006 when the monitiors were removed? And no fines collected - as yet. At least £2M. And counting - another flight at past midnight last night. And TDC and KCC and the EA bumbling around what's happening to the pollution and water supply. What twits. Criminal twits. No votes in poisoning your citizens. No tax for poisoning your citizens. No tax-jobs for poisoning your citizens. No citizens. Time for Change.

A golly-gosh-well-I-never moment as the P.2 Gazette article this Friday on Manston monitoring: (article link) Confirms that monitoring is “done by Infratil and provided to TDC”. Cllr Green expresses surprise at this as do the other councillors. As you would given the opportunity to fake the data or simply not provide it. And hardly news given the repeated Airport Committee meetings and KIACC public meetings – supposedly about TDC and Infratil noise and air pollution monitoring for the last 5 years. What were they pretending to do? Except of course they didn’t want to reveal that until now. Far better to pretend that monitoring is being done properly. And when that’s found out sack Samuel and White and Latchford of the Gang of Four with payoffs to keep quiet. The same article also has Charles Buchanan confirm Infratil are monitoring. Both this, and how TDC are monitoring, is a surprise of course. As the noise monitors were removed in 2006 and returned to Manchester University monitoring...

A shocking documentary on ITV last night on air pollution in Czech Republic: http://www.u.tv/utvplayer/video/139724 it claims to be the most polluted factory in Europe as a steelworks with 4 times EU emission levels and 6 times the World helath organisation levels on various toxins. Still we silence on Infratil and Thor - the latter supposedly banned and closed in 1989 and the technology shipped to Cato Ridge in South Africa. All we have now is cover-up and denial by our politicians and civil servants to protect their own jobs. All the activities at Manston and Thor are already banned and still they continue. When will Andrew Pearce and the Environment Agency publish the figures and cleanup details? When will McGonigal speak up? When will Carter speak up? When will Gale speak up? When will Sandys speak up? Mere denial and schtum payments for a few resignations. What bizarre secrecy in the Kent of the 21st century. As Mayor I will push not for P45's but jail sentences for corporate ...
