Watch the price of Thanet Watch!

I was deeply shocked at the huge price hike from 60p to 80p in the cost of Thanet Watch when Norman turned up at my bookshop with copies of it for me to sell. In fact I said to him I think we had better have twice as many as we had last month, as we had sold out within a few days of getting the last lot.

This sort of price hike in Thanet socialist rags is no new thing, its predecessor The East Kent Critic which cost 3d in 1963 (this amount of money converts to fractionally over 1p which is exactly 2½d) had by 1983 reached the dizzy heights of 25p – is this a price hike of 2500% I ask myself.

Strangely enough Thanet Watch leads with a story, neigh stories about Jonathan Aitken. Did Norman know that it was Jonathan that financed the last socialist rag The East Kent Critic, I ask myself? Did Norman ask for a sub and get turned down? Is this the reason for the price hike?

What we have here looks like socialist capitalism, or is it capitalistic socialism?



Here is the latest offering from TWTV like the BBC they are not accredited whith TDC so perhaps you should't watch The Watch - Quis custodiet ipsos custodes - anyway? sSorry about that, is "anyway" qualibet or qualubet?

Here is a lesson in cross party collaboration from Jonathan Aitken, if you click on it compulsively it may get big enough to read.

 

Having just watched The Watch video I am wondering which of the local parties benefited in terms of the forthcoming elections, it was only the fear that I could possibly be elected that stopped me standing as The Monster Raving Loony candidate, obviously those fears were well founded.    

I will try to ramble on here
