There's clearly ongoing bullying to silence him. <br /><br />Political manoeuvring and ousting goes on all the time in politics but the difference here is that you have two councillors who are such polar opposites and there can be no justification for keeping a lazy one and getting shot of a hardworking one when as a political party you claim to be serving the people of Thanet and in particular the people of Northwood Ward. I'm sure some of those people will have something to say when the lists are published in a couple of weeks and I will personally speak to people I know in Northwood to set the record straight as to why their previous councillor is no longer standing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-53454591696697353122011-03-22T01:40:05.079+00:002011-03-22T01:40:05.079+00:00Such a shame, a hard working councilor ousted by h...Such a shame, a hard working councilor ousted by his own party. Clive Hart is a disgrace, not a chance was given to cllr Nottingham. Not allowed to present evidence. It is clear to all that he was stitched up and thrown out as he was a threat to Hart. Its about time all the evidence was in the public domain and we decide who is right and wrong. Pack mentality within Labour Thanet at the moment, headed up by Hart. I support Labour but I'd rather have the Tory Laura Sandys in compared to Hart and thats saying something for someone who has supported labour for 23 Years. Time for change and shake-up.

As predicted it was a stitch up with a number of those present very unhappy with the outcome. Clive's gang outnumbered the others. Mark was still not allowed to present his evidence. Clive's gang have hardened their hearts and their pride means they will never acknowledge how wrong they are even though the evidence against them is threatening to drown the lot of them.
