i don't think they have done anything wrong keith, i feel sure that david will be happy with his planned career move brought to the forefront.
just a pity that we are all responsible for the apathy that holds dover back.

Thank you very much Peter. An amusing read. I wonder if that guest house is still doing business ? I doubt if much has changed if you turn up in Dover late at night on a ferry. (apart from the prices).

I still ask the question
with his arrogance who would vote for him to be MP?

arrogance is not a bar to success, if it was the deal area would be one short of a county councillor.

I'm sure people would vote for David with his arrogance Keith, just as they did for you with your ignorance...

Thanks for your advice Keith, constructive criticism is always welcome.
My whole point is that in a political campaign any target market won't involve triballists, there are millions of people on both sides that would vote for a monkey in the right colour rosette, policy is irrelevant.
I also believe there are millions more who are sick and tired of inept, self serving politicians, they have no interest in their constituency just their own careers. I believe its time for a change, for local people to band together in a common cause.
I appreciate Keith, that when it comes to politics you cant see past the end of your nose, but others are far more open minded.

News reaches me that there is some serious anxt in the corridors of power in Whitfield about this thread.
I want to make it quite clear please, that David is posting on his own account and NOT on behalf of the Town Team, which as a body is grateful for the support given to it by DDC officers and relevant Councillors.
The Kent online article mentions David as a member of the Town Team which is of course perfectly correct, but it sort of implies that he might be doing this with his TT hat on when in fact he is doing so himself as a concerned citizen.
When the news reached me I did suggest again, as I have done on many occasions that if some official news can be released about the development plans it would certainly help to keep people like David under a bit more control. Sadly there seems to be no middle ground on this suggestion - between all out disclosure and respecting the commercial negotiations/details of the activities that DDC are indeed undertaking.
The Town Team as a body have worked hard so far, and continue to work hard to try and deliver small things in the Town to make things better. I for one am very happy that there is a forum for David to vent his spleen, but I repeat, he is not doing it on the Team's behalf and therefore please do not taint it with any ungenerous thoughts some of you reading this appear to be developing.
Thank you
Simon

i took the comments from david as purely a personal view simon as i suspect the majority of us did.
besides it is this forum that is responsible for the neglect of dover according to ian killbury.

Thanks Howard, but when I am told that the postings are not doing the Town Team any good, I felt I needed to make a statement showing that David is speaking personally.

Never had you down as a mouthpiece for DDC Simon
I'm sure that they're all grown ups in Whitfield Towers, indeed, some are members of this very forum. It would be nice to see a considered, balanced response from them, not a spineless, whisper-in-the-ear-of-someone response that is more deserving of playground politics, rather than that of open and free debate.
These councillors are answerable to the people, not to each others egos...

Nothing wrong with speaking in a personal capacity, especially when one is a volunteer and therefore has no financial axe to grind. Heaven forfend, Simon, that I should inadvertently repeat some of the opinions you have expressed to me on the street corner.
