    Paul S, I don't object to debate on differing views, but some comments today have been of very low taste.

    In response to your post 90, there is a difference.
    DPPT have been claiming to represent the Community of Dover, and at times to represent the wider Community of Dover District.
    This means that the examples you give in post 90 are not compatible. That you may have a private mortgage, or businesses may have loans, is one thing, but if DPPT claims to be a public body, representing the community, be it town or district, then this is something entirely different.

    In this case, we would be talking of a massive local public debt, for the simple reason that DPPT states that it is the community of Dover with regards to the Port and with regards to town and district regeneration. This was also what they wrote on the parish pole sheet which I refused to put in the ballot box, as I openly disputed there and then that DPPT are the local community.
    We're talking big here, and surely the local community cannot be compared with a private mortgage that one person has, or a loan that a business has.

    While I don't know, or can't remember, what loan DPPT intends to take out, it seems to be somewhere in the hundreds of millions, while claiming to represent the local Community. Hence my comparison, that a town (community) of 30,000 people with such a massive public debt (DPPT = public body and "the community"), would be as if Britain, with about 60 million people, suddenly got a debt of hundreds of billions of pounds.

    Then I noted that DPPT, as well as having to repay this money with the interest from sole Port incomes, also claims they will regenerate Dover and even the whole District while they're about it.

    I simply dispute that any of this is even remotely feasible.
