i must admit the surreal posts go over my head, getting back to an earlier post from jan(i think), the question was why we do not hear from our elected representatives.
the local fourth estate don't cover council meetings as much as they did in the past and we can't expect them to travel to maidstone for kcc meetings.
if any of them dare go onto certain facebook sites they will be subject to vitriolic abuse so the obvious answer in my view is to post here.

I agree Howard.
I wouldn't go on Facebook or twitter; even an innocent remark or comment would be mis-interpreted and I can do without that - I can do without some of the comments on here, but as Chris Precious once said, "man-up".
I try to give a balanced view on things, but there's always someone to pick holes.

Not sure about "his" Forum Keith, but I won't argue about where he said it.

Thanks Roger glad I am not the only one who thinks SOME are.
It is good to know you read other forums Keith one gets a more rounded understanding of some subjects by getting different views.

Revealed: How Big Six energy firms conceal their profits
Market experts express concern that giants are not being fully candid about profit margins they require to fund investments in bid to deflect growing public anger
The Big Six energy firms have been accused of misleading consumers about the reasons for their sky-high bills by glossing over the large mark-ups they charge for the electricity they generate.
In interviews with The Independent, several market experts expressed concern that the energy giants are not being fully candid about the profit margins they require to fund investments, in a bid to deflect growing public anger.
Full story Independent.

MP Nadhim Zahawi apologises for claiming taxpayers' money to heat his stables
Conservative member for Stratford on Avon says he will pay back some of the money after 'mistake' led him to claim more for second-home energy bills than any other MP
A Conservative MP has promised to repay part of a £5,822 expenses claim for his energy bills after it emerged taxpayers were paying to heat his stables.
Nadhim Zahawi, a wealthy businessman, said he was "mortified" to discover the error in which he claimed expenses to cover electricity and heating oil for his estate in Warwickshire.
The MP for Stratford on Avon runs the Oaklands Riding School and Livery Yard with his wife from their 31-acre estate, which he has designated as his second home.
His expenses claim came to light when an investigation earlier this month revealed that 340 MPs, including Government ministers, had reclaimed almost £200,000 in one year on energy bills for their second homes. Mr Zahawi's claim was the highest.
A founder of the market research firm YouGov, Mr Zahawi owns a property in southwest London and also rents out three apartments in the capital.
