  Paul I noticed in a couple of your recent postings you were showing concern about Council Tax and possible rises of same in relation to services. In these dire financial times who would blame you showing concern.
  
  But this is a question of political philosophy. Yes its all about politics.
  
  If you are a Labourite you wont mind paying a bit extra in taxes so as to preserve the services needed to keeep society flowing for the needier.
  
  If you are a Conservative you will like more freedom to chose what to do with your own money, will not want higher taxes, so will be prepared to cut sevices.
  
  That about sums up where we are in all this stuff.. you pays your money and takes your choice, as the man at the dodgy fairground gamble used to say.
  
  From a personal point of view I dont like to see services cut particularly in Dover. Dover seems to be struggling at the moment to hold itself together as a town, what with community newspapers leaving and what have you, our identity doesnt seem to count for much. Loss of services makes the place that bit less of a whole community. Everything comes to us via Folkestone.
