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

Yes. Why not? A quite extraordinary series of foreign policy triumphs by POTUS Trump especially on North Korea. Even with the last-minute nerves of the Singapore Summit off then on again, in just over 6 months we’ve had more movement on North Korea because of POTUS Trump than in the previous 6 decades. From the pre-Xmas insults of Little Rocket Man and Dotard and missiles aimed at Japan and Guam and Hawaii we have the biggest breakthrough on the Korean peninsula since Inchon. A united Korea sports team at the Winter Olympics and Kim JongUn's sister's rare travel to South Korea. The North Korea and South Korea presidents meeting at Panmunjon DMZ and each travelling over the DMZ line. A peace treaty to end the war of 1953 being drafted – UK too as a participant in the 1953 war with countries such as Thailand and even Cuba on the allied side for the first UN police action. South Korean propaganda loudspeakers aimed at North Korea turned off. Discussions on a rail ...

What an astonishing series of events over the last few months with POTUS Trump policy on North Korea. From the Little Rocket Man and dotard, fire and fury insults at the start of the year with missiles aimed at Guam and fortunately mistaken missile alerts in Hawaii (relevant for improved Pacific Resilience with yet another volcano erupting?) the thaw has begun. A United Korea sports team at the Winter Olympics with Kim Jong-Un’s sister meeting South Korea’s President and VP Mike Pence – or at least sat near him in the bleachers- astonishing enough. And shattering the ice of a Korea frozen since 1953, the North Korean and South Korean presidents meeting at the Panmunjon peace village on the DMZ and stepping onto each other’s land before more detailed discussions. Then new State Dept Secretary Mike Pompeo returning with 3 American prisoners held in North Korea. And the North Korean timezone adjusted by 30 minutes (or should that be 70 years?) to correspond with South Korea’s. ...

You'd think so from the Bank Holiday Weekend carnage of a knife death in Liverpool, a gun death in London and a drive-by shooting. Redolent of the Sawdust Caesars of Mods and Rockers Bank Holiday gang violence in East Kent in the 1960's but now violence and drugs and deaths more prevalent. And the National Crime Agency reports a doubling of knife crime in the last 3 years in Hertfordshire and Warwickshire and Cambridgeshire. The Sunday Times front pages reporting: "Knife crime epidemic hits the shires” and “City drug gangs bring bloodshed to counties" with knife crime up 20% in London yet 86% in Essex and 274% in Norfolk. Perhaps from low levels, but even so a concern if you're now more likely to be stabbed in Bedford than Liverpool. And an increase in acid attacks as big city gangs take over smaller town dealers. As an aside having worked on tourism and regeneration in Liverpool a great British success story from the days of hubcaps and heroin thefts....

People occasionally wonder about the One Essex Court fraud in my MP manifesto: progressing to court latest letter below. I must say how awful the UK courts are. I'm fortunate to have witnessed it. You couldn't make it up and if anyone had told me I simply would not have believed them. For a very simple bog-standard lawyer and Bar fraud - they actually literally confessed it's astonishing. The note below is the almost end result of years of effort and delays. A few random points stand out: 1. You have no chance as a defendant refuting even the most absurd allegations (should the public set aside say 10% of salary for lawyers as ATM's?) - the latest is I live in Thailand, for fun I'll dig out the town name - whilst standing as UK MP. I know you couldn't make it up. But then you go through the rigmarole of denying it etc. Any sign of an apolgy or anyhtugn else? Forget it. Rather the courts and judges - as lawyers themselves - are outrageously biase...

Following on from my previous article on the Tick Tock for Uncle Tu and Thailand: http://lovekentloveramsgate.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/tick-tock-for-uncle-tu-in-thailand-and.html It's been refreshing to see UK Deputy Ambassador to Thailand Margaret Tongue too busy even for a Ferrero Rocher chocolate egg this Easter probably saved from the Ambassador's party, chaperoning Transport minister Khun Pailin around Asia Rail (nice orchid Khun Pailin - a vase of Kent Orchids on display in the new UK embassy in BKK too?). With the largest ever land sale in Thailand of c.$600M of the UK embassy, Margaret must be able to afford a new Panasonic fridge or two full of chocolate and orchids for Thai development projects? Kentish wine nestled in next to the champagne? Certainly the UK's BKK embassy must be busy across ASEAN with the convulsions within Myanmar of a new President last month Win Myint and Aung San Suu Kyi's handling of the Rohingya/Bangladeshi genocide and diaspora. ...

Wednesday 18th April 2018 Judge Mann High Court Rolls Building London Dear Judge Mann I wanted to write to you and the Parliament's Justice Committee (Commons and Lords) and the APPG on white collar crime. I was astonished to see that you are currently the judge in the Cliff Richard case with South Yorkshire police and the BBC coordinating to raid his home. And in the new and lavish High Court business building as above. No doubt the case will drag on at great cost to him and the public purse. You will probably remember jailing me in July 2008 in the Integrity trademark case - merely for contempt of court in refusing to pay the fake and fraudulent fees provided to you - and other judges - by Guy Hollingworth of One Essex Court and Steve Palmer of Palmer Biggs lawyers. You can imagine what I think of them - and perhaps worse, you - for allowing such blatant fraud and legal twaddle. And you were, slightly, one of the more competent judges involved. Count them: ...

With Russia-UK and EU relations at an all-time low since 1989 – or at least the Kosovo conflict and Pristina Airport Sprint - with a KGB kill-squad offing upto 14 Russian dissidents in UK. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov even citing East Kent's 007 as a Licence to Kill in the issue. And now yet more chemical strikes by Assad in Syria and further UN and USA retaliation as per the 59 cruise missile strikes last year. And Putin, a former KGB officer in East Berlin, sanctioning the assassinations what now for Sergei Lavrov the Talleyrand of Russia? A 77% majority for Putin’s last election - but without Navalny and even then candidates such as Titov and Sobchak – relative of Putin’s St Petersburg Mayor when Putin was Deputy Mayor and 23% of votes for them. The Magnitsky crimes also in London High Court trials in what’s become Londonski after Londonistan for Russian dirty money. A Russian police captaint holding a libel trial in London;s High Court? Happens every day. ...
