The flack is starting to fly on the new UKIP councillors
front and their ill advised use of social media.
I may ramble on here

A few Ramsgate and Medway Queen photos and a bit of a ramble.
Photos first
It’s been a busy week in my bookshop and very nice to have
the bank holiday break now. News wise we did get woken up by the earthquake
which seems to have been caused by seismic activity ten miles under Pegwell
Bay. Having checked the vibration wasn’t caused by drunks breaking the shop
window downstairs I went back to sleep and dreamt of the legendry island of
Lomea vaguely wondering if it was a earthquake that did for it.
Apart from Cllr Bertie Braidwood http://www.kentonline.co.uk/thanet/news/ukip-councillor-investigated-over-offensive-37485/ a quick look at
facebook and twitter suggests there are at least another five who have like
some dubious site or another.

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.

I am sure you're right that Councillor Braidwood won't be alone; he has a certain Conservative Councillor from Deal for company as a starter. What is equally distasteful is the indignation claimed by Councillor Bayford. His reaction is in sharp contrast to his, and his fellow Conservatives', initial silence over the now infamous "AIDS" phone message left by Councillor Gregory, and the allegedly racist joke circulated by the (then) Conservative Councillor Latchford. I somehow doubt that Bayford is really bothered about what Braidwood has posted, but is more interested in political point-scoring. Politicians of all Parties will probably behave similarly, and it is only when they stop this hypocrisy that the electorate may begin to view them less negatively.
