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

Here’s details of Spain’s corruption trial for Malaga council that left the “once-charming beach resort carpeted in concrete” and “developers bungs for cash for votes”. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/27/spain-biggest-corruption-trial-marbella But silence from our cockroach civil servants. Nothing on the mysterious Pleasurama tax haven with no viable construction plans – who was the civil servant in charge of Kent’s largest seafront development? Silence on the 0% payrise frauds for m the Toxic Two of Samuel and White – where are the before and after payslips? Nothing on the fake noise and air monitoring at Manston – removed 4 years ago from a school and tower block and repeatedly lied to the public. Silence on the Double Donation to both parties for ChinaGate and Ramsgate Labour’s largest-ever donation. For Thanet’s largest-ever construction project. With plans released one week before a vote. Repeated breaches of the design guidelines for construction, breaches of building fo...

The NHS Cancer summary document for East Kent has been sent to me: cancer the biggest cause of death, and East Kent in the lowest quarter of cancer treatments. Seems to me the NHS hasn't been doing its job very well. And Infratil and TDC allowing breaches of the flight paths and removal of monitors have allowed unnecessary increases in cancer deaths, ill-health etc. Seems to me TDC have deliberately endangered the public. After all, that's why flight paths and monitors are specified around airports isn't it? Yet since 2006, Infratil and the Gang of Four and Ladyman and Gale and Sandys remained silent. Enforcing the 106 is but a matter of a phone call to stick to the routes - yet for 5 years this has been ignored. For an airport funded by KCC and TDC and slated for expansion. And silence from our 56 councillors. Maybe they thought a cargo airport was a good idea. And one on the drinking water supply too. Not one public statement on the removal of the monitors. Who exactly of...

A note below to Bill Hayton KCC Chair for the local KCC meeting: as always more interesting for what's left off the agenda and avoided. Why the silence from our councillors and civil servants on Thor and Manston - not one public statement. How bad is the pollution? And so much for democracy eh? 10 tonnes of grit and waster in the Ramsgate waterpumps last week according the Southern Water cleanup chaps - no wonder the drains flood and how long since the drains were checked and cleaned? 10 tonnes. Now only the Toxic Two of Samuel and White remain with former Deputy Leader of ManstonGate and ChinaGate retiring from politics at the elections in May. Why don't you write to Bill Hayton though: bill.hayton@kent.gov.uk and ask for not just these items to be discussed - but copies of the toxin reports and a KCC Cabinet discussion. And add your comments to the night flights petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nonightflights/signatures?page=12 Hi Bill Can you advise on the points...

Manston: "shot down in flames" warning of Infratil and council failings on front page of newspaper http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/launch.aspx?referral=other&refresh=7y1Bg0Y85s1X&PBID=84956776-5fe0-4064-a733-83aabf1dd4b7&skip= Fake consultations, repeated 106 breaches, public endangered, removal of noise and air monitors from a school and tower block over years, failure to replace etc etc. And an airport built on the drinking water supply. How stupid would you have to be to do that. And then want to expand the airport. And criminal to do it by removing all the safety measures. No monitors. No data. No problem. Delay it for weeks and monhts and years. That's a lot of people with cancer, asthma and so on because of Infratil and the Toxic Three and the silence and collusion of Gale and Sandys and our 56 councillors. When the monitoring would have revealed all the the dangerous spikes in air and noise quality. They knew monitoring was required. They kn...

Aren’t there several missing gaps in Thanet’s public finances whitewashed by our senior civil servants and councillors: 1. Where are the Ramsgate Town Council accounts and staffing costs? 2. Where are the £1M EKO accounts/million pound memo and invoices and staffing costs and expenses? 3. Where are the details of the missing or waived fines for night flights and overflights by Infratil? 4. Where are the Infratil control tower flight log and radar transponder details to check their claims? 5. Where are the before and after payslips of the 0% payrise fraud for Messrs White and Samuel? 6. Where are the Pleasurama costs and contracts after the tax haven mystery 7. Where are the Vattenfall windfarm and building contracts and revenues? 8. Where are the Turner £1M running costs allocated and over how many years? 9. Where are the missing disabled grants and costs: spent instead on office refurb? 10. Where are the Ramsgate Tram shelter monies and repairs? 11. Where are all Messrs Gale and Sandy...

I see the glass carbuncle for the harbour slipway has been provisionally approved. Along with the Granville Folly and glass stump for developer profit. And glass B&Q Turner Centre, in Margate. And Halfords Big Box for Vattenfall. We seem to have incompetent councillors and civil servants who having destroyed the towns are unable to put sensible policies in place without grasping at anything and shouting "jobs" or "land sales" before the election. As with the jiggery pokery of trying to sell Albion House to safeguard civil servants pensions and then sleight of hand with the public petition to preserve it we have the collapse of Socialism or Conservatism and the rise of Cretinism. Imagine if Bath was peppered with these boils - our stale councillors and civil servants couldn't even run a bath. Let alone safeguard listed buildings.

A sudden agenda announcement for a meeting all about Manston: 3 ways to describe the same thing: KIA, Manston and a Manston Parway rail station of some sort. The usual charade for decisions taken – even Roger Gale doesn’t bother mentioning the Parkway now. And “Bold Steps” is some vague nonsense of linking Kent planning to Essex in another quango – and nothing done in the meantime. No mention of overflights and 106 breaches endangering the public. No mention of missing monitors. No mention of the drinking water supply under the runway and contamination. No mention of 18 year death rate. No mention of Thor mercury and water pollution which is Andrew Pearce’s responsibility with permits to pollute and discharge from Manston and Thor etc – and copies of toxin levels, maps etc. No mention of KCC and TDC staffing levels and costs. No mention of 0% fraud. No mention of recall and local referendums. No mention of why KCC are investing public funds in tobacco, booze and guns. Mere c...
