Drained




I find it hard to get enthused, these days, particularly by local events.


In the big world it seems to me that the cretins who have managed to claw their way to the top are no longer happy to just ride roughshod over public opinion, commonsense and fair play, now they wish to control individuality. 


Ironic as it is, it occurs to me that a meaningless doctrine of divisive "diversity" has been peddled by air head lefties here in Thanet, local politics has been tainted by crazy notions of what is and isn't acceptable, by those not noted for consistency, in place of substance and the ability to manage local affairs serious business is now outweighed by a sort of comedy of Orwell's thought police melded with Nazi/Stalinist type denouncements and tit for tat "standards" complaints.


Just to give yourself a taste of the pettiness of it all you could do worse that take a gander at this from Cllr Bernard la Rouche, clearly a injustice has taken place but let's get a sense of proportion.




I don't doubt, there are some out there genuinely hurt by the mudslinging malarkey but stuff me! aren't there things of more importance.


Fortunately there are some things more important than the goings on, in the great metropolis of Birchington, in my case I've been watching a lot of telly just recently which reminds me of the other tragic comedy the Mary Portas Show, as sponsored by David Cameron and we the taxpayer, in which a miserly hundred grand is waived at hard pressed businesses in Margate, by a TV production company in order to create a hour of watch-able reality TV creating real life chaos probably more damaging than any benefit likely from the government intiative.




Still moving on, and at a complete tangent, I was recently introduced to the music of Louis Jordan, a co worker recalled a track from their childhood 'Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens' a quick google and firing up Spotify has given me considerably more pleasure than commenting on local matters, it's music from the dawn of time, that I was largely ignorant of, still if you have a spotify account broad tastes then click here enjoy!


That's all folk's!

  2. Yeah it is petty BUT the council's sub standards committee has been shown up for getting its facts wrong.The standards chairman needs to resign over this. To say that the AIDS phone call councillor was off duty and then to be proven to have been acting on false info is a bit disturbing. What training does the Standards chair have and does it take place at a local golf club?

  3. It was a private matter because it was a private telephone call between Worrow and Gregory. The fact that Worrow leaked the story to all and sundry doesn't change anything. The only way Standards could really have acted was if Worrow and Gregory were in public having this exchange and that was recorded on Worrow's phone.

    The key thing is that Gregory had to be acting, or appearing to act on behalf of the Council. He clearly wasn't, therefore Standards couldnt go further.

    1. The police media department make hate crimes public James, you can't blame the victim. Its no wonder the victim left that group who call themselves Conservatives - even David Cameron would have fell out with that lot! We all know GALE does not like CAMERON

    2. Not many of us do but that does not make him a bad person. For the record, John Worrow left the Conservatives long before Ken Gegory's phone call. It just suits his purpose now to maintain it was because of homophobia.

    3. WRONG TOM CLARKE
      John Worrow left the LOCAL Conservatives because of the "KEN GREGORY MIND SET" as he explains here FOR THE "TRUE" RECORD

    4. How does Tom Clarke know what goes on in other peoples minds, is he magic or just prejudice?

      He needs to see this, I agree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCbXG8A-DWg

    5. Pure proganda and proof of nothing. What is fact is that John Worrow left the Conservatives long before the offending phone call, at the time blamed Cllr Bayford's leadership and claimed the council were not doing anything about animal exports. At that time all sorts of people championed his stance on the animal exports issue.

      The homophobia all came later. There is no claim to know what goes on in his mind, indeed, heaven forbid I could even think like that.

    6. Im told John has emails complaining about homophobia long before Gregory exposed the mind set. Maybe he will publish one at some stage. Tom Clarke says its his real name then he clames to have inside info, seems a bit dodgy to me!

    7. Anon 17:55, if JW had homophobic emails they would have been in the nands of the police long ago.

      I have never said Tom Clarke is my real name, but I have said I use a psuedonym so that people can follow the thread of my comments. Is that anymore dodgy than your anonymous cloak.

  4. Forget the telly, Tony, perhaps one might be enthused by a bit of jazz trumpet genius extraordinaire, Woody Shaw, God bless his soul...

    1. The above anonymous comment, accusing a serving councillor of perjury, something not proven in a court of law, amounts to defamation of character and libel. It should be removed, Tony.

  6. I don't think we should refer to councillors as weasels, god forbid and as to rick comment please also deleted please give is a break until such time as your entirely vindicated on a court of law.

    I've no wish to be sued and take offence at cowardly anonymous posters launching pot shots at the various foe from my website, please note anyone offended etcetera you can contact me via tonyflaig@gmail.com please note that any requests will generally taken seriously and that I do not endorse any postings other than my own

    1. I take it there are no prizes on offer for guessing which councillor was referred to as a weasel, Tony. Thanks, by the way, for deleting the perjury allegation.

  7. The leftie councillors are not be airheaded Tony just because their views are different to yours, but the council officers give a good impression of being airheaded. I have just filled in the parking survey (TDC web site) and two of the questions are what is your religion and your ethnic nationality. At least they did not want to know my sexual preference.

  8. I think this comment left on your last thread, Tony - not by me - sums up your rather negative, moaning approach:

    "I will be supprised if Tony gives you an answer. He is very good at knocking others but lacks giving positive advice on who should be running the show, what they should be doing and how it can be achieved".

    1. So, Mr. Expert, how about you telling us how it should be done or is your forté, like so many others, simply to criticise those, like Tony, who try to make a contribution. At least he keeps us informed and he ran for election. What have you done 12:13?

    2. Tom Clarke talks like a councillor... bit dodgy he is not who he says he is

      Delete
    3. Who is who they say they are? Who is anonymous and even those who think they are who they say they are could be wrong. Supposing mum played away from home or they were adopted and never told.

      Then we have this talks like a councillor. Well, having heard a few, I can assure you that Chris Wells sounds very different to Mike Harrison. Some are educated, others not whilst some are couth and others decidely uncouth. Then we have the lispers, the shouters and the mutterers and, in the written form, the literate and the obviously not so.

      So you tell me, Anon 17:59, what does a councillor sound like?

  9. Tom Clarke, you really are too far up your own arse.

    1. I agree with you it is Chris Wells

    2. My, my such wit and powers of perception. 19:35 is obviously John Worrow and 19:40 is Johnny Depp.

  10. No, sorry Anon of 6/9, you're quite wrong.

    1. Really, don't tell me those two contributors are not really John Worrow and Johnny Depp. Well I am surprised and just wonder who they can be.

  11. They're anonymous, just as you are.

  12. Precisely, 17:27, which is exactly what I thought until somebody said one was Chris Wells. Strange really how one anonymous contributor wants to put a name to another anonymous contributor.

  13. It seems to be the way with some people. Personally, I care no more about others' identities than they should care about mine.
