16:1083061Well some of you must have seen the Daily Express over the last few weeks and its fight for the UK to come out of the EU,well UKIP has now thrown its suppport behind them to ,with Mr Nigel Farage UKIP leader saying "We wholeheartedly support the Daily Express campaign.It is a brave campaign from a brilliantly patriotic newspaper and not the first time that the Express has stuck its neck out on an issue that is best for our nation,
I will add, this is along email from UKIP and I have foreward it on to the Dover Forum just so if asked you can find out that it is not just me talking out of the top of my head.
Mr Farage goes on to say "I urge all UKIP supporters to buy the Daily Express and support this vitally important campaign"
I would like to take that on more by saying even if you do not support UKIP but still think that we should come out of the EU then also support the Daily Express campaign. i will add more to this from time to time.

12:3983321Can I ask Vic Matcham exactly what the UKIP plan is to stop the privatisation of Dover Port and how they intend to deliver it. I don't agree with the privatisation but I would like to know how stopping it can de achieved. My previous posts show I'm not a fan of the DHB. If it comes to a choice the Peoples Port are the only ones that have a plan to keep the Port UK owned and are actioning it. Comments about funding from outside the UK for the proposal are irrelevant. Most of the big investors in UK companies come from abroad. The companies are still British.

16:1183340Thank you for your sensible post, Graham, whether it will get through to the flat-earth brigade is another matter.

17:5483345At last, a new insult. Was getting bored with opponents of privatisation being referred to repetitively as dinosaurs and luddites. Now they are dinosaurs, luddites and flat-earthers. It gets better and better. Charlie's hastily cobbled together plan appears unworkable but any attempt to even mildly question it is only ever met with a stream of bombast, bluster and invective. Think the proponents could use a good PR man. At the moment, it seems more like the Nasty Port than the People's Port.

18:1783347i had noticed that too, the debate is a serious one and the concept taxes the grey matter for most people locally, myself included.
insults usually mean that the user is unsure of the validity of their case.

18:2283348Unfortunately Ed you have just done exactly what you accuse Charlie (Elphicke) and the Peoples Port of being. They have made a submission to government and it includes removing certain elements of port legislation which DHB currently use (effectively) to not contribute to Dover ,it's residents and the surrounds. Something positive for the Town.
If there is a viable alternative from UKIP lets hear it. As I said before I'm not pro privatisation but I am a realist.
As an aside it's DHB that are (alledgedly) hiring PR support.

22:2683388Graham. This has all been covered so many times on here on innumerable different threads that there is really nothing new left to say. The viable alternative, from UKIP or anybody else, is for the port to remain a Trust Port. All income in excess of day to day operational expenses is thereby devoted to modernisation and expansion. Any form of privatisation necessarily requires that a major portion of this income has to be diverted to service the immense sum required to be borrowed to purchase the port.
Despite repeated enquiries, the advocates of privatisation have never satisfactorily explained how this anomaly can be resolved and have always resorted to harrumphing about medieval charters and other such nonsense. My personal favourite was when one of these Masters of the Universe claimed to be the living reincarnation of Christopher Columbus and Winston Churchill, whom he optimistically and mistakenly surmised would be fervent supporters of privatisation.
