The later idea (For INtelligence and war mongering purposes ?) being Basson supplied Saddam and hence we should invade Iraq .....<br /><br />Now we have a situation where Zulus have had their day in English Court re THor contamination of their aquifer (Thor South Africa plant) but Thanet (until my FOI requests) did not even know about contamination here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-66640636436571822612009-11-07T22:21:40.955+00:002009-11-07T22:21:40.955+00:00Well said Bertie couldnt agree with your sentiment...Well said Bertie couldnt agree with your sentiments more, his only major fault is relying on a load of useless councillors to do his leg work.

Thanks for reminding readers of the 'spat' between IOTG and Roger Gale.<br />I have a great deal of time for both our MPs and in Roger's case it is a pity that he seems to have so little influence in reforming the 'parcel of rogues'masquerading as Conservatives in part of his constituency.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-72814460278957543862009-11-07T19:52:10.939+00:002009-11-07T19:52:10.939+00:00Tony did you pen run out or is this a "have I...Tony did you pen run out or is this a "have I got news for you" type quiz?<br /><br />So what should follow "its a pity he represents" <br /><br />Is it Thanet North,the Tory party, all that is bad and evil, the rich of Thanet etc?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-3000241892297707252009-11-07T19:50:59.196+00:002009-11-07T19:50:59.196+00:00See letter in Gazette about secretaries' pay i...See letter in Gazette about secretaries' pay in Thanet.

If the claim was illegal the police should be contacted. What labour have done is the least to be seen as doing something.The employment of family is only wrong if done fraudulently.Tory MP Derek Conway is a case in point paying 40 grand to son who was a student. Has Suzy Gale done anything wrong other than be a good secretary ?? No so why should she loose her job if she had no doubt Mr Ladyman would have pointed it out. Whatever side of the political divide you are the majority of family members that are employed do a good job I always get prompt replies from Roger not like some of our councillors and county councillorsDon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.com
