    Sorry Vic, I was out visiting Sue on the sea front, supporting someone who has the b*lls to start a new business in Dover.

    The DPPT is not dead, far from it. Remember that all we have so far from the minister and DHB is words. We remain on the sidelines with the aim of keeping the DHB honest, and to make sure that those words are turned into deeds. While not all we wanted has been achieved, we did set out to stop the port from being flogged off to Johnny Foreigner, and to change its aims and objects to benefit the town. I think we have achieved both, the first for the time being - unless the Ports Act is repealed, the threat of sale under a future government still exists - and we shall remain there to ensure the second is delivered. The one thing we did not achieve was to deliver the port into local community ownership in perpetuity. We shall work on that. It's been 5 years so far, we don't care if it takes another 20. Regarding the £10, all of us on the DPPT have spent far more than that in getting us to where we are today.
