Your right to photograph people and places comes above their's to resist. Obviously if they wish to move aside that is up to them and I wouldn't wind anyone up by insisting to photograph them.....unless they were a celebrity......goes with the territory that one I'm afraid.......so ECR anyone photographed you lately falling out of China White.....or the Chinese Takeaway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-32710631431012266632010-07-27T22:07:23.619+01:002010-07-27T22:07:23.619+01:00Michael, you wrote "And I suppose this right ...Michael, you wrote "And I suppose this right must extend to diving there, although I understand that the council intends to institute a bylaw to prevent people doing so, I would imagine that this will be without any public consultation in Ramsgate."<br /> There is already a bye-law that prohibits swimming, the Council just will not implement it. Have you thought why the lights are there no more? Why no restaurant is at the end of the pier? It's not just the swimming thats the problem.<br /> Harbours are for boats, propellors and flesh do not mix well.Tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-702144290703792262010-07-27T17:42:51.242+01:002010-07-27T17:42:51.242+01:0015:18, I'm sure they do think it's as ludi...15:18, I'm sure they do think it's as ludicrous as most of us do, but surely they should at least TRY To do the job they're paid for even if it means they're constantly on their feet instead of sitting in a hut?Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-10267333847359995542010-07-27T17:23:39.981+01:002010-07-27T17:23:39.981+01:00John I have to disagree on that one, in Ramsgate w...John I have to disagree on that one, in Ramsgate we had very good local government from the 1890s where they stood up to the ratepayers association, found the money for and built Madera Walk and the harbour arched structure <a href="http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/ri/id3.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/ri/id3.htm</a> through to a peak on serving the public good where they set up the best public air raid system in world war two, in the whole of the country. Saving many local peoples lives see <a href="http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/the_ramsgate_tunnels__main_line_public_airraid_shelter___scenic_railway__.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/the_ramsgate_tunnels__main_line_public_airraid_shelter___scenic_railway__.htm</a><br /><br />I think the fundamental problem here is that Ramsgate and Margate have always been rival towns and to govern one from the other is doomed to failure.<br /><br />Tree Hugger, for me proper policing and a proper diving facility is the answer.<br /><br />Peter it wasn’t my intention to annoy them, just curb the waste in spending.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it Richard, but frankly I wish they were just good at running the place.<br /><br />Ben it’s an interesting thought, difficult and expensive to implement though.<br /><br />15.18 I really didn’t, I published a very blurry photograph of the security guard so she would be hard to identify and believe me I have high quality high definition pictures that would have made it a better post, that I didn’t publish. I also didn’t publish the name of the security firm as I thought it could effect their business if when they were Googled they were associated with this post.<br /><br />What I did take umbrage at was when one of them took me to task for publishing the picture, in my opinion it was both unnecessary and unprofessional. To put it another way, I had to explain to my two children why this person accused me of doing something wrong when I hadn’t.<br /> Anyway I still haven’t published the high definition pictures or the security firm’s name, despite not having had an apology from them and I assume that they must have read this and know what occurred.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-32854648256236387312010-07-27T15:18:59.719+01:002010-07-27T15:18:59.719+01:00Don't blame the security officers.

It has a chief executive and a set of directors that don't live in thanet, have no feel for thanet, whose main in life is to persuade the current ruling group to increase their grading and therefore their salary and cost to the local community. The current C/E has probably done more to increase the cost of tdc and lessen the service received by thanet than anyone else in living memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-22152051458980618602010-07-27T00:25:32.567+01:002010-07-27T00:25:32.567+01:00"The best way to take control over a people a..."The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible<br />reductions.
