Councillor In Need Of A Counsellor?

Like me, you must have wondered why Margate's putative arts emporium changed its name from the Turner Centre to 'Turner Contemporary' a while back. Go on, of course you did!

Well if you Google-ise Turner Centre the top spot is held by The Turner Centre... for Counselling and Psychotherapy! According to their website, the Colchester centre 'occupies a grade II listed building and is beautifully furnished to a high standard'. Among the therapeutic services they offer are counselling for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I presume Margate's Turnip people decided on the name change to avoid any confusion, given that the sponds wasted on the gallery had already caused 'anxiety, depression and panic attacks' among the general, taxpaying public of Thanet.

The Turner Centre (Colchester) also offers help for 'anger and rage'. It strikes me that, given our Sandy's recent, er, carpeting by the Standards Comittee for his outburst at the Edinburgh Woollen Mills, and his previous for calling the Mayor of Margate a 'f*cking tosser', he might well be advised to check himself in for a session or two!

I think therapy is a waste of time he needs a keeper from Howletts to follow him around with a dart gun and at the first sign of bad behaviour to bring him down

Sandy at a meeting to discuss the viability of Manston as a civil airport. Dozes off during the meeting.

"To be viable", argues Infratil, "We need to extend the marshalling areas into what are presently rural residential areas"

Sandy wakes with a start and shouts

"Axe Minster"

"Irish Iris?"
What year is this?
Oh yes. In Thanet it's 1964.

10.01 Don't you mean 1664 when women were burnt at the stake for daring to have opinions. Seems some of the tory group pine for those times.
