    Roger, it has all been said before.

    The Ports Act 1991 provides a framework for the disposal of Trust Ports and it is under that Act that DHB's transfer scheme (i.e. naked privatisation) was proposed. Had Dr Goldfield not initiated that scheme the People's Port movement would never have been born. It is an attempt to prevent such a privatisation; and an attempt to bring the port under local public ownership in perpetuity instead.

    Had Dr G not opened Pandora's box Dover would have remained a Trust Port; but until the Act is repealed Dover would always in the future have remained 'in play' and susceptible to future generations of port management to pull the same trick, lining their own pockets along the way.

    Ed, in calling us amateur you ignore the fact that we have professional advisors who are at least the equal of DHB's; and that we have board members with far superior business records than theirs.

    And if the Secretary of State should decide that it should remain a Trust Port, so be it; she now has, under the new Public Bodies Act, the power to decide without fear of judicial review.
