Sadly some people have to bring along all their baggage and won't give something that doesn't conform to their views/opinions/prejudices a fair hearing. #175
I am assuming, I am one of those in above statement.
Fact, Mr Elphicke stood on the Strand in Walmer and in response to my question, he clearly stated, that, if elected he would continue in Mr Prossers footsteps, not to sell off the Port. Barry, you can offer all the excuses you wish, to justify him but that is what he said and that is a fact.
If Mr Prosser had been re-elected and gone down the same PP route, I would still be very much against it, not because of my, baggage or prejudices, not because it's above me or because I do not understand it, simply because, in my opinion, I do not agree with it.
My support is for the status quo with changing Trust rules to benefit Dover/Deal and as Peter Garstin has informed us, a £10 stake, will at best, only entitle you to a vote, so I will not be taking that offer up.
I think Mr Elphicke is involved in some good local projects and showing he cares about Dover/Deal and I won't dare to presume I am right and he is wrong.
The fact has been said many times, we do not have to agree on everything and i will not stop agreeing with other things, just because i never voted for him.
My feelings are, if this PP Port was such a good idea and was best for the people of Dover/Deal, why did Mr Elphicke not fight his campaign on the back of this proposal? Had he been open about this Peoples Port idea during his campaign, I believe he would have gained more support for himself and for his PP proposal. It would not have changed my mind but I think it would have gained him and his proposal much more support than he has now.
