20:3484265vic i think your last post (no pun intended) says it all.
you won't have reached many people even with a leaflet.
i'm afraid it takes a lot more than that t get even a start in the local elections
thus my prediction, which after your last post i find even more my prediction to be correct.
also yu have spread yourself to thinly 3 different areas and a 4th should you go for river parish.
still i admire your determination to get elected
but doubt it will ever come true
sad but true

22:1084276Keith! Canvassing, you say. So, I didn't see crowds turning out to listen to a haranguing.
Admiring Dover Castle, and the Church next to it, I know that neither the Tories nor Labour built it.
The local election is not subjugated to having to vote either Tories or Labour, but has to do with voting for a candidate, who might or might not have the backing of a Party.
Vic has the moral backing of UKIP head-office and of Nigel Farage in person, who is leader of UKIP.
As for the local Tories, they strongly disagree with Charlie Elphicke Tory MP concerning urbanisation of Dover District, and such a vital issue cannot go unobserved. Why do you think masses of Dovorians should just sit back and not vote, when they could vote for a candidate and a Party that says No! to these urbanisation plans around Dover and No! to Port privatisation, while the local Tories sit back and go along with Port privatisation and urbanisation?
Now is the time to decide to Vote UKIP and the candidate Vic Matcham!

22:1684277interesting post alex, you are right that neither the reds or blues built our castle.
maybe you are suggesting that it was built by ukip and the yellows as part of the urbanisation of dover district?
sounds plausible to me.

22:2384279That would be the leaflet that proudly declares that Gordon "serves" on the District Council but makes no mention of also 'serving' on the Town Council.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

12:2384333Georgette Rapley, Lives in St Margret's When did that become Castle Ward, No disrespect Georgette but when are we going to get some new blood in this town instead of people who are ready for there graves.Its the same people time after time,who are there for them self not this town. Just because some people have good Ides dose not mean that things will get done, well not in dover with all the sniping on this council.And loads of people work hard on Councils but when they keep telling lies why should we vote for them with the cut backs now we wont see anything happen to Dover for at Lest the next 10 Years, And Keith THURSDAY WILL SEE GORDON ELECTED TO KCC Hopefully not in my time do we need another 5 Years of stagnation for this Town. And Georgette I do not mean you are ready for you grave this is just a Generalization. No offense meant.

12:3584339Sorry to burst bubbles up here but Labour with the likes of Gordon cowen wont get in , he is unknown and does little for the area which may i add is going down hill again , the other day when he and his croonies were junk mailing my letterbox within minutes i saw two acts of vandalism along the road from me. at end of the day he wants a name for himself to be a minor celeb with very little payback to to people who voted for them.

councillors cannot win on this one, they have to be at the council offices to get anything done, they can be contacted quite easily.
let's not forget that a county councillor covers a larger area than a district councillor and is at meetings in maidstone during weekdays.

14:3284361Alan,
I won't get into the agism theme you present, but you need to look beyond all this.
As barrw/sue/roger nigel(if he posted) plus others would agree, being a councillor is a thankless task and at the moment volunteers put themselves forward, they have to be either people who don't need to work or are able to comnit time or on the dole, or retired, or similar
because of the time it takes up, it is a very restrictive activity for many who hold down jobs.
I think it would be nice to see many fresh faced people put up as candidates, but because of the time committment it doesn't happen

15:4684368Well anyway, whatever a Torry activist said, this being the title of the thread, it is important to remember in these times of election campaign for the Councils, that over the coming four years the Council budgets will be drastically reduced. DDC will have to see a 40 per cent reduction in spending.
UKIP obviously has a national agenda which calls for no more spending on other EU countries, including bail-outs, as these are most fertile countries and potentially industrious and really ought to see to their own needs.
This will mean that more of our own money will be available for us to invest in our own Country, including the Councils, but even if it may still take time before UKIUP enters Parliament, the Party is determined to represent the views of the People here in Dover and surrounding villages, and the majority views of the People on major issues correspond to our own views, such as further urbanisation - which we don't need at present - and Dover Port, which we do not want to see privatised.
Do the other parties contending the local election have anything to say about how they would cope with a 40% reduction in Dover District Council spending? Do they have any explanation how they would go about this?
UKIP has clear and staeady views on this, and we are not in favour of sacrificing the needs of our own Peoople.
