As it seems you have no clue as to the meaning of anonimity, it would seem fruitless to continue to enlighten you in that respect. <br /><br />I shall merely accept that you will do as you please to protect Driver and his minions.

It merely means that I have no real need, nor motivation to seek your's or anyone else's approval for beliefs.<br /><br />I live in Thanet, no not in Margate, (god forbid!) and work in Kent not far from Thanet. Do I chose to make my address/details public knowledge, hell no! The thought of having to go to all the trouble of having to slap an occutard who may fancy his/her chances, or having tardtv turn up making a nuisance of themselves, and lowering property values precludes such openness. I regard the internet as akin to having a chat with people in the pub. Would I tell them where I live and work, HIGHLY unlikely, would I ever wish to meet them outside the pub, even less likely.<br /><br />You I have met a few times, the vast majority of the other contributers here, with some notable exceptions, I can see no scenario in which I would lower myself to find them in my company.<br /><br />FYI as i told you before, I don;t have a youtube account, never have had, and been on FB since 2009, though 2 accounts have been hacked over the years.

The difficulties date back to the previous labour administration's selection of a developer on whom they could never undertake proper due diligence; their overiding of officer advice to determine the previous Jimmy Godden plans; their loss of a chief executive, having held meetings to discuss it without a monitoring officer present; and the pretence that they had always made the right decision. The following Conservative administrations continued the development agreement, and re arranged with audit office approval in 2006; re arranged it again against officer advice in 2009; and appear to have missed out on their own money laundering ploucy checks in the interim. No one comes out looking good. FORS have now produced the background connections which TDC officers seemed unable to discover, and we probably now have real oversight of some of the characters we are dealing with and their backgrounds. It is for TDC to assess and work to a reasoned conclusion their historic mess of this project; get it built or get us out!Chris Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022576946890382047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-54249831431108382562013-04-27T18:05:52.191+01:002013-04-27T18:05:52.191+01:00I doubt if she has the power to do so alone, but y...I doubt if she has the power to do so alone, but yes it would be good to see her get involved.
