I become a little camp and don’t get time to blog about Manston Airport

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.
reading some of the FB pages it seems the "original" committee of SMA have been evicted, they say Keith suspended the written constitution and is now threatening the old committee with legal action over the return of the "fighting fund". They on the other hand are saying that would be unconstitutional and possibly tantamount to theft. All very unseemly

ReplyDeletePO. This petition is at least three months old. I believe this to be a petition TO Sir Roger Gale and not by him, therefore Sir Roger is not asking TDC to spend money. And this might be a clue.
ReplyDeleteTo:
Sir Roger Gale, MP for Thanet North
Laura Sandys, MP Thanet South
Thanet district council, Cllr Iris Johnston, Council Leader
Place a Compulsory Purchase Order on Manston Airport, Kent
Sincerely,
Barry, a very similar thing happened with the Margate Town Team. Why can't people just suppress their egos for the greater good of the community?
ReplyDeleteThere are no more team players. Look at England cricket and a well known South African born batsman. Having said that, the athletic teams in recent international events are proof of what a good team can do. It all comes down to leadership, but when a team is made up of volunteers, with no financial incentive, then egos tend to come to the fore rather than the good of the project. .
DeleteSeems that there is much written concerning the "fighting fund"
ReplyDeleteSeems also AG is given 2 pages in Gazette today and what comes across is her lack of trust of Riveroak. Their offer wasn't credible and they have no track record in Airport management.
