18:0090755Well I thought the forunm would have been flooded with comments .Not one .
On the Politics show we had Cllr Watkins DDC and Cllr Robert Bliss SDC discussing the joint sharing of a Chief Excutive .Good shots of Dover .Both leaders looked a triffle uncomfortable .
Our Mp was on there discussing the Peoples Port .
Yes Charlie is up and around in fact I have received three emails from him this weekend all to do with local issuies .

18:2090765If they had broadcasted the politics show on the big screen in Market Square, may-be some people would have turned up to listen, or even large crowds!

19:5990784Sue,
I think talking into a camera with an ear piece concentrates the mind and expression.
A live link talking directly to a reporter is easier because you are looking at someone face to face not directly at the camera.
Doing a pre-recorded one is even easier because if you cock up you can start again or throw in an expletive that guarantees they will re do it.
The other point to make is that they did not direct the questions to any particular interviewee other than the intro question to me.
I was quite happy with the interview other than looking at a blank camera lens.
Charlie's interview was more structured in that they adressed one interviewee then the other.
Both interviews were done following each other at the RCP Yacht Club.

20:1190788Simple Vic.
You are not a District Council Leader proposing changes or an MP or Opposition Peer looking to agree on the same issue.

20:1590789I was waiting for you say that Mr Watkins,but as you know like myself,on the sell of the port the public voice is not geting out ,we do not want any sell off of our port it is a Royal port and should stay that way.And I will be telling the public at the meeting tomorrow but it is not in Dover.

20:4090805i thought the programme was about shared services?
if this is the case then the views of the the council leaders are the only relevant ones.
not really a party issue.

20:4290809I normally watch the show but luckily I was working 06.00 until 15.00 so missed the terrible trio.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

20:4290810Peter that is not true ,we have talked about this before it is still a sell off,the public of Dover will have no say in the running of the port or see any return of their money if they put any in,nor will the town, It is pie in the sky to think they will.

21:3290821I was not aware that the people of Dover had any say in the running of the Port now.
It is a certainty that some form of 'sell-off' will happen but the how is still to be decided and this is where the people can have a voice. DHB's favoured option (they see it as the only option as they admit they have no other plans) is a straight sell off to the highest bidder. The Peoples Port plan is to enable the people of Dover District to buy into the port and therefore get more of a say than they have ever had before.
The choice is out there and ignoring it all with cries of "don't want it" will not change that.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

21:5490824Chris, there is a good chance that the localism bill might change the whole idea of port privatization.

21:5490825There will be no peoples port only in name,it is just to make you think that you will have say it how it is run,again that will never happen,And will the above town cllr be puting any of his on money into it ?if it came about,I can tell where I stand with it,I would not put one penny into it even if I had one to spend,you would never get any of it back,The bankers will have all the say in what will be done or not done in the port,and all we could see is a run down of the port just like the town.And if it did not work it would go back to selling off for peanuts,that what banks do.
