The post you are reporting:
Yes, of-course, Paul, we have to deal with life, and that is why I am working on this project to create more local employment, otherwise we'll spiral into even deeper poverty.
How do people pay rent or a mortgage or a loan - or shopping - if they have no work and no income?
Don't forget that youth unemployment is over 22% here in Britain!
If we hanged around waiting, we'd end up as in Spain and Greece, with between 55 and 65% youth unemployment.
These countries also had 22% youth unemployment 5 years ago.
So if we want to join them, we just go on closing our eyes and crossing our fingers and hoping that one day the "big one" comes along and "solves all Dover's problems" by enacting a construction boom as in Spain or Ireland.
(See DDC core strategy).
But it won't work, of-course. Without balanced employment, no economy can work.
What we need here is employment for the people that ARE here, not 10,000 more houses and 10,000 more cars driving through the town.
I suppose you too, Paul, will have realised there are by far less visitors to the town - and to other Kentish towns and cities, as more people beyond the Sea in Europe are - like us - on ever lower budgets and can't really afford to travel far to visit other places.
Now I must get on with my project, as before long it will be all over Britain and every county far and wide will be taking it up.
