Here is a picture of the main man himself on his very pleasant visit to Dover last year..Labour are reeling at the news of his resignation
from left to right: Cllr Mick Smith, Alan Johnson Home Secretary at the time, Gwyn Prosser MP for Dover at the time, Cllr Jan Tranter former Mayor of Dover, and Cllr Anne Smith.
Alan Johnson was close to being Leader at one time there..age I think played a part in him not going through for nomination. But he was the most popular of all with the public.
