There must come a point where their incompetence reaches a level where they have to pay the money themselves rather than trying to pass it all on to the long-suffering taxpayers. In this case, I would say that any financial liability resulting from a foolish decision to misuse the CPO system to force a sale of the airport, should lie with the councillors and officers of TDC.

There was no asking price because Ann Gloag didn't want to sell. All that happened here is that RiverOak made a silly offer. This was turned down and so, they upped it to the amount they were really prepared to offer. When this was turned down too, they walked away from the table. They were free to offer more but they didn't.

There are, of course, obstacles to be overcome and much will depend upon the ability of Thanet District Council to bring a Compulsory Purchase Order to a satisfactory conclusion but with cross-party political support that exists we believe that this can be achieved. Literally and metaphorically we and RiverOak are in this for the long haul. The due processes may take a little time but we intend to realise our objective and to see planes flying from Manston once again”,<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />10 Easiest Tricks To Tighten Loose Skin After Weight Loss<br /><br /><br />Read more: http://www.thanetgazette.co.uk/MPs-meet-Manston-bidders-RiverOak/story-21256227-detail/story.html#ixzz35278E3jX<br /><br />Read more at http://www.thanetgazette.co.uk/MPs-meet-Manston-bidders-RiverOak/story-21256227-detail/story.html#HBSAExXOEztOH6H5.99<br />John Holyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284672912775316883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-90017180185519653662014-06-18T21:19:50.572+01:002014-06-18T21:19:50.572+01:00And more!

I said that they had gone elsewhere. A few years ago, there were no blogs. People who wanted to have their opinions heard had to write to the local papers. If the blogs are being destroyed by people who are swamping them with their limited views, more balanced individuals may well have decided that the platform is becoming childish and puerile. They may well have decided not to bother posting their views at all. An example of childishness would be the comment above: "I knew you couldn't name any." This is childish because it is based on the presumption that I had said something which I had not said. Children often behave in this way. They do not listen to what they are told and respond without thinking their response through properly.

I know you would like to think otherwise, but you will see shortly. In any case, you only need an action group if there isn't a straightforward way to counter the threat. In this case, all local people would need to do is to write to the council stating that they don't wish to see any of their council tax used for this purpose because it will expose the council-taxpayers to greater losses. Should those losses occur, those who have written would be able to claim their share of the losses against the individual councillors who authorised the CPO.

The simple geography of three quarters of Thanet being surrounded by sea and around fifty years of failures means looking for some alternative solution. <br /><br />I am not against the cpo on the grounds that I support the closure of the airport I am against it because it just doesn’t make any sense regardless of anyone’s views on the airport. TDC don’t have the money to get involved with this one, they already have a port on the road to bankruptcy and dereliction, which must be sapping their meagre budget, adding an airport that they couldn’t afford to turn into anything viable wouldn’t help anyone. <br />Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-9454944016937645872014-06-18T12:36:47.162+01:002014-06-18T12:36:47.162+01:00I heard that a Scot was going to build houses all ...I heard that a Scot was going to build houses all over it.

It is now time to try some of the others. Have a go at using # and my personal favourite ~ Do not lose heart for it will not be long before you graduate to useful punctuation and grammar. Even if that means you must occasionally delete your post in order to correct it (and no, I'm not Peter).<br /><br />But I may wrong. Perhaps your use of ????? and !!!!!! signifies that you were shouting. Why shout? It cannot be to rise above the noise of passing aircraft. I appreciate how infuriating it must be for you to discover that there are many ignorant people out there who disagree with your point of view on many subjects. They need to be shouted at, don't they. Never the less It would be wise to save your voice bearing in mind that the aeroplanes will be back; and in greater numbers than before.
