Laura Sandys press release“ I have been campaiging on debt and the human impact on debt since December 2006. In Thanet people have been prayed on by loan sharks and some people were being pushed into paying off their debts “in kind” and I have been calling for government action ever since" says Laura Sandys. "These criminal acts were happening to the most vulnerable on our door step,”
" While the Government is now waking up to this and putting in place help lines, the intimidation of those who are most under threat has been taking place for years without any action taken in Thanet and Sandwich by the Government to help them fight the predatory threat of illegal loan sharks.
I am pleased that the Government has now reacted to what is happening on the streets of our towns and urge anyone approached by an illegal loan shark or already in debt to one to call the national hotline number 0300 555 2222.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
