Howard and I have each come across the latest news and posted it on two different threads this morning.
I hadn't seen your post, Howard, on the UKIP thread, which preceded mine on this thread by about an hour.
But, as this DHB meeting thread mentions Neil in post 1 (hopefully Neil will look in and fill us in with what went on), it is questionable whether Neil will keep us informed on the DHB meeting, as he hasn't revealed 2 weeks ago after the Nigel Farage conference that UKIP's leader is openly supporting DPPT and believes the Dover Port (which is DHB) not to be a good choice.
So if we now have Labour's Claire and Charlie of the Conservatives and UKIP's leader all campaigning for the "people's port", that will leave us to see what 10 Downing Street has to say about this latest development.
Personally I can't see the Government abandoning Dover Harbour Board, in fact Gov. has fully endorsed DHB.
This may explain Neil's defection to UKIP.
There could be interesting developments if the "people's port" becomes a UKIP hit in a future election campaign, with Farage openly campaigning for it and campaigning against the Port of Dover (DHB).
