Back in the 80s there was a BIG difference between Labour and Tory, but as "New Labour" moved to the right and Conservatives have moved towards the left (with their gay marriage nonsense etc), they're both much the same. This is why there's a bigger need for far left and far right parties from a voter's point of view.<br /><br />Anyway, back to the TDC Leader's vote. How does this work exactly? Is it just a show of hands? If it was a secret ballot then I'm doubful whether some Labour cllrs would vote for Iris.

The leaders of all the main parties are a very dull bunch indeed. Now, if anyone on here has ever met Clive Hart, Bob Bayford and Roger Latchford, I'm sure they'll tell you which encounter was the most memorable, as Roger Latchford has charisma too (& lots of charm when he tries).<br /><br />I've no idea whether or not Iris Johnson will make a good leader (though I'm worried about her silence over Manston's imminent closure so far), but she's NOT a popular person, even amongst other Labour members. On the rare occasions I've briefly met her I've found her totally without charm. <br /><br />Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-5164996348019059032014-05-13T16:46:09.787+01:002014-05-13T16:46:09.787+01:00Why peter?Why peter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-50669612172281040852014-05-13T14:54:36.864+01:002014-05-13T14:54:36.864+01:00Give me Roger Latchford over Iris Johnson any day!...Give me Roger Latchford over Iris Johnson any day!

If you went into specifics Michael would moderate your comment off. Even if you make your comment a public question. There are circumstances in law where saying nothing is a criminal offence. Michael doesn't like discussion of those. <br /><br />It would take a brave person now to stand for council. In the past cllrs have got away with walking away from personal liability such as trustees of East Kent Maritime Trust. <br /><br />On the bright side it looks as if Wetherspoons has a good track record on restorations. Thanet South may get a UKIP MP. Manston could get grants into TDC and create a lot of building work. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-14683272163190757992014-05-13T13:04:23.614+01:002014-05-13T13:04:23.614+01:00The problem we have is that all the councillors ha...The problem we have is that all the councillors have been involved in the toxic behaviours or a the very least said nothing.
