Quite a lot black smoke in the town.
Somewhere beyond Pencester?

Just seen this on twitter
https://www.kentlive.news/news/kent-news/live-updates-huge-plumes-smoke-1770862
[U]Plumes of thick smoke can be seen towards the Eastern Docks of Dover after a reported "abandoned" shelter went up in flames.
Pictures show the smoke plaguing the skyline towards the Port of Dover, and motorists using the A20 to get onto a ferry or onto Jubilee Way could be heading into smoggy conditions.
It is reported that the fire started at around 5pm.
Police have confirmed they are managing the traffic, and the building is still alight.
The building is near East Cliff but also at the junction of Townwall Street and Marine Parade.[/U]

Probably a building "they" want rid of.

Isn't it ironic (not) how the boathouse is burnt down on the very day of the deadline for the squatters to remove their property??? I think not. I smell arson in the air.

Apparently the building was full of stuff owned by the man who had the junk shop opposite Icelands. I just copied the following from FB, put it this way maybe a very convenient fire....
"The last day for everything to removed from that land (by orders of the landlord) was today July 10th. Posters have been on the gates for a couple of weeks."

It cannot possibly be a coincidence that the nightclub and the boathouse go up in flames within hours of each other.
There is something very wierd going on. Maybe the nightclub was set to make the boathouse look less suspicious???
Maybe I should become a private eye like Sherlock Holmes?? HMMM

Certainly suspicious, rather a long way for a spark to fly with the wind.
If it was arson the arsonist put those firefighters lives at risk so needs catching and locking up for a long time.

Perhaps the Charlton Centre could be next? Or that BT building behind Biggin Street?
