To say the speaker, some professor from London, was ill-informed is an understatement. His talk on Thanet in WW1 was under-researched and he got pulled up during questions by the far better-informed audience.<BR/><BR/>He had no microphone and couldn't be heard beyond the first few rows but one cheery aspect of a wasted evening was the free bubbly and nibbles beforehand and seeing the (lady) Deputy Mayor of Broadstairs in a hat and outfit more suited to a wedding than a lecture.<BR/><BR/>I assume Matt Clarke will know more about his subject than the speaker who, talking about WW1, never even mentioned Manston.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-25153229830519150692009-02-24T11:36:00.000+00:002009-02-24T11:36:00.000+00:00He'll be taking questions I expect?I hope he's don...He'll be taking questions I expect?<BR/><BR/>I hope he's done his homework.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-72735690513506897852009-02-24T10:38:00.000+00:002009-02-24T10:38:00.000+00:00This lecture will touch on several key issues as t...<I>This lecture will touch on several key issues as they relate to Kent International Airport. These include: the airport’s history, current operations, economic contribution and the exciting plans for the future as outlined in the recently released draft airport master plan.</I><BR/><BR/>Nothing about ameliorating its appalling impact on the Thanet environment then. And as an immigrant, Mr Clarke is living proof that there will be no jobs created for Thanetians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
