I thought we were supposed to be protesting abotu China's appalling record on Human Rights. Wasn't everyone running around a few weeks ago condemning the decision to hold the Olympics there and protesting about the torch relay. But it's OK to trade with them? Just like it's OK to trade with Mugabe? Perhaps we'll have Harare Gateway next?
What a shame that the ****er's last outburst against poor old Iris ( Where's wally to those of us in the know! ) was not properly reported in the press.
The outburst by ****er and his side kick wodger the dodger, was witnessed by two local journalists who did.... nothing!
Why, because they were contacted by ****er!
What a shame that Thom still calls himself a journalist! That is a disgrace to all the go getting hacks that have gone before him. I hope that he is ashamed of himself!!
Anon 11pm - Kindly note that Thanet Extra fully reported the fiasco despite being slightly leant on. The item appeared on TX's website the dsay after the event and the in the first available issue of the paper. If you don't like reading ITG, then try Thanet Extra instead. ECR will bear me out on that one as he linked to the TX site.
Before everyone starts having a go at young Thom, who is not here to defend himself (he only pops in to hoover up stories these days), please remember that he is only one link in a chain at the Gazunder and the buck stops with the editor. In fact it probably stops even further up than that, bearing in mind the paper is now owned by the Daily Mail.
Also, with the amount of TDC and KCC advertising carried by all our local papers, I would imagine advertising sales teams, who generally get paid on a commission basis, might get twitchy about negative coverage of their advertisers too. Add to that the rumours that certain senior Tory TDC members regularly 'lean' on the local editors, and I think you can see that Thom is only a small cog in a number of much larger wheels.
I can confirm, though, that Thanet Extra, did carry the petition story on its website so congratulations to Nick Evans. Especially as the KM group seems to be controlled by West Kent Tory toffs as far as I can make out!
perhaps you should take out an ad advertising your blog sites and then more of the local electorate would see what really goes on? some of us have been promoting the blog sites -yours and Thanet strife so my mates can find out what really goes on in Thanet not the very limited censored and often incorrect (standards board and the mayoral ball) articles they read in the IOTG. Unfortunately the Extra doesnt get as wide delivery coverage as the Adscene and i know many (including yours truly) who has to rely on friends to pass on their copies.
Well Mrs Tara Plumbing used to advertise in the locals and mention her blog, I don't know how or if it worked for her.
I thought about advertising but I doubt if they take ads from fictional characters! It cuts both ways, though, as remaining anonymous has ensured that nobody has ever leant on me (apart from the vague threats made by the real Biggles during the Famous Fannit Blog Wars earlier this year) as they don't know who to lean on.
And when I say 'lean on', it doesn't necessarily have to be done in a threatening manner. It could be as simple as 'fancy coming out to lunch so we can explain a few things about our policies/company/planning application which you might have misunderstood?'
I prefer it that way, although it does mean I'm starving most of the time!
Everytime I see Rick now I just scan past it. Sorry, put this stuff on your own blog. I've read enough about you and that f*cking range in Birchingtn. zzzzzzzzzz

Classic!
Now old Backbone Bill of Cliftonville
And his sidekick Sandy Zeke
Such was their luck they'd had no ruck
For nigh on half a week
Cept'n the Mayor who scribbled Jew Do
And Irish Iris hardly meek
Now Claim Jumpin Pete met Zeke in the street
As the petition papers flew
"To my Northdown spread it's best unsaid
I've a job for Bill and you"
Growled Zeke "You'll choke if you f-ckin joke
And it's a coach hold upping do"
GEZOO
brill poetry - only location you have left off is his get away spot - location somewhere down south?

If only the local papers had the bottle to do a cartoon like that!
Yes Strike Lucky Jim You'd expected Him
To feature in our little rhyme ?
A trail blazing frown and plans for this town
Expecting Zeke's help for a dime
Bill and Zeke have a care or become a matched pair
In a terminal Guy Fawkes mime.
Chorus of the town song
The devil came to the island
for a lost soul barbecue
Jimmy stepped up smiling
and fair gave the devil his due
When it comes to hellfire boy you sin
But Jimmy's the best there's ever been
Singing Jimmy's down the garage with a can in hand
The skies will glow
the insurers know
but still they pay the man
GEZOO
Now young tiepin Thom not long from his mom
Gained a job in the local press
Soon he set much store his reports would draw
Approbation nothing less
Richard O Eastcliff a cunning ole wordsmiff
Masterclassed young Thom to duress
GEZOO
Human Rights Whiner moaned about China
Shoulda looked closer to home
Habeus Corpus a starter and then Magna Carta
New Labour enslaving like Rome
And 42 day a pretty long stay
Without charge for writing a poem
Harrison I know you will sulk unless you get a verse. Wait out.
GEZOO
Now Congressman Mike was full of dislike
For the violent Sandy Zeke
"Congress how's that intimidating pratt
Got to head the town ruling clique ?"
Then replied Mr Chair "Democracy's fair
But sometimes it gives us a freak.?
OK Cllr H I didn't leave you out.
GEZOO

Yes, our young Thom was summoned to the council chambers.
Only young Thom can expose what was said but don't hold your breath folks as he ain't saying nothing.
Someone in Thanet needs to go to the mattresses?
Shame on you Thom! thought would have made front page news at least!

Fairly put EC O'R
Why should a man (akin to Tiepin Thom) take the blame for failures to enforce law ?
In days gone by such things happened too on the wild frontier where Strike Lucky Jim and sandy Zeke held sway
THE LAW IN THE OLD HOME TOWN
DEAD-ALIVE CORRUPTION
Townsfolk set much store by the rule of law
Trusting their sheriff weren't for sale
Sheriff in his heart knew he'd played his part
Keeping civic leaders outa jail
He'd set law aside 'n slowly his soul died
In his dead-man-breathing's entrail.

Our local papers are owned by DMGT. List of their subsiduaries here:
http://www.dmgtreports.com/2006/financialstatements/principalsubsidiaries/
Sitting on town council well known Bully Bill
In court on oath they say he lied
Told the sheriff too, "Oh that can't be true"
Said the lawman dead inside
Sheriff's wife so sure her man upheld the law
On sandy faith she built her pride.
GEZOO
