Hartfelt Response

Cripes! One of my moles has just sent me a copy of an email exchange between Thanet Labour leader Clive Hart and Westgate Blue Rinser Brian Goodwin.

Sir Clive, via a round robin email, had asked the Margate Mayor's Parlour (Prop. Mrs Sandy Beach, currently sunning herself on a, er, sandy beach) to include his missus on the mailing list for the Margate Charter Trustees, seeing as she was recently elected to the Dane Valley ward following the resignation of the Tory member for Panama, Steve Broadhurst.

Back came the response from Cllr Goodwin:

great mind you like her other half she will not turn up so we don,t have to worry
cllr b goodwin


Oops! Methinks cllr b goodwin hit the 'reply all' button there by mistake! The white-haired knight has now sprung nobly to the defence of the other half of his Hart to Hart team with a stinging rebuke, viz:

Cllr Goodwin

Thank you for your garbled and virtually incoherent message (below) that you sent to me in response to my perfectly legitimate request for Cllr Sandra Hart to be added to the mailing list as a Charter Trustee.

I believe you owe Sandra an apology for the nasty manner in which you refer to her in your message. Sandra has been a council member for just over a month now and already she has been made to feel very intimidated and unwelcome on two previous occasions. She certainly doesn't need you to add any further to her disappointment.

I personally have very good reasons for not attending Charter Trustee meetings for some time now, ever since I witnessed the disgusting and appalling behaviour of one Trustee at the Winter Gardens. As my wife, Sandra was with me at the time, and she has never received an apology for the disgusting behaviour and appalling language she was forced to witness and hear that was used by a fellow Charter Trustee towards myself and other Trustee's.

The fact is that the 'we don't have to worry' wording that you use in your tiny little message says it all. The Charter Trustee's are supposed to act in a non-political manner but in your haste to discharge your venom your guard has dropped and you've exposed what is now clear for all to see.

Cllr. Sandra Hart may or may not attend Charter Trustee meetings - she has her own mind - please do not attempt to pre-judge her or me!

Regards

Cllr. Clive Hart.


Politics, eh? Doncha just love it!

Clearly this councillors is both insulting and computer illiterate.


I think TDC should issue a protocol for councillors telling them how to compose emails and how to address them properly. What do blogging councillors think about this?

Like water of a ducks............back.

I wonder how the Cllr in question will duck this matter!!!

I'm interested to see this clown mentioned as a Westgate Councillor.

As a Westgate resident we haven't seen him for years!

A request for information on his whereabouts from another Councillor got the response that he ( Goodwin )had moved to Birchington and would not be allowed to stand in Westgate again as he was a laughing stock. Probably be standing in Birchington instead!

Who knows Cllr Goodwin, now he's a Birchington resident, might be able to take over from Squadron Leader Woger at the next election!

Everyone knows that Brian is not the sharpest tool in the box, but for Clive Hart to try and make political millage out of this petty little issue, just proves that he is too small minded to be a group leader.

His over defensive response towards Brian also shows how unhealthy it can be for a councillor to work with his wife at the tax payers expense giving her special treament!

You may ask yourself why Clive Hart has only just got his wife on the Labour money train?

Answer?:
Is it because Clive does not have a real job, and after being rejected by the residents in the county election, he had to try and get some tax payers money back?

As a true socialist, I have no time for champagne socialists, who live off of the backs of the poor people in Cliftonville!

I do not think you buy much Champagne for £4000 per year .

I think the Labour councillors try and do what is right by the residents whereas the Tories are just passing as many dodgy planning applications for their mates as possible .

Where are Sandy and Mrs Sandy then? Terry's villa in Portugal? Or on the yacht? Or is it another freebie to China?

You must think we're thick, thinking that its all onesided and that Hart has no perks ha ha

Clive Hart is worse than the Tories, at least they don't pretend their socialists!

Anonymous said...

Stand as a labour councillor and pretend to be a socialist - real socialists would give the poor their tax money back.

Tories are not much better but at least they don't pretend to be anything other than what they are!

About time all the *ankers on both sides stopped squabbling like schoolgirls with no knickers and did something useful for Thanet to earn their expenses.

Why does CLIVE HART live off of the backs of the poor and then pretend to be a socialist?..

I wonder how many of the people that he represents have a big middle class home like him, in the wealthy part of cliftonville?

At least the Tories don't pretend to be anything they are not!

Shame on you Cllr Clive Hart YOU are Cliftonville's answer to Tony Blair!

Why are you not a true socialist like Iris Johnston and Tony Benn?

local council takes issue with 'gangs' in newington causing trouble, yet 'blue' v 'red' creates a blueprint for thanets youth to follow even down to the petty arguments.

party politics should be banned at a local level. Its just a distraction.

GET REAL!!! You've not seen how bad the independents can be - they form groups and can be even worse!

It human nature it has f*ck all to do with party politics

Anonymous said...

we need to ban party politics, democracy and freedom of speech!

It really would be wise to chuck the baby out with the bath water just because of a few things written on a blog!

Most people think they know everything about politics, yet most of them know bugger all!

Good grief.

With all this going on is it any wonder the 'Person on the Thanet Loop' doesn't give a toss for politics. When they say 'they're all the same', crikey, guys, they're absolutely right.

Anonymous said...

You only say that politicians are all the same because you are either too lazy to study, and therefore don't know the difference, or you are a Sun reader!

You would probably say that gays and non-whites are all as bad as each other.

You are probably one of those annoying people that thinks that working people class people should not talk about politics or religion!

WE NEED A LIB DEM GOVERNMENT!

Thanet needs an elected Mayor - until then we will have to make do with Gordon Brown and Iris Johnson!

Anonymous said...

Clive Hart is a bully and has made an issue out of nothing, he boycotts all Trustee meetings cos he does not like sandy Beach his one out all out mentality is that of a paranoid dictator, where is he at rememberance services, he does notjoin the Trustees or take part or wear his robes which should be both an honour and respect for those who gave their lives, representing those who eleted him, no he sulks on the pavement cos he does'nt like Sandy Beach, he is Thanets Tony Blair leading his Group with a photo of himself I understand on his Office door .
For those quick and eager to decry the Tories, perhaps the Mayors Office should be asked for an attendance record of the Labour Group at Trusttee meetings and Dickie how about you putting that on your excellent Blog.

May I make a suggestion? If you all feel so strongly about our current batch of councillors why don't you all stand in the next election so we can get new ones - or at least vote for someone else?

Anonymous said...

Yes i will, the duck gets my vote.

Anonymous said...

indeed Vote Orville, and we can all duck out of waste of space party and TDC politics.

Any idea how we can get rid of the senile management at TDC or does the O'duck element, duck that issue as well!!

Thought I would ask.

What pathetic playground stuff. 'My conker's bigger than yours' 'No it isn't' blah blah blah. When will a grown-up come along and sort Thanet out? There are no contenders in either of the parties as far as I can see.

Anonymous said...

Well said. What we need are a bunch of Independent candidates who want to see Thanet improved without the childish antics of party politics.

Does not matter whether the idea is right wing, or left wing. If it's right for Thanet, then it should be brought into practice.

Gor blimey, how important is all this tosh? will we be having this until 2011 now? Brace yourselves!!!

Anonymous said...

I totally agree. As a stipulation to become a member of the Thanet Party, I would propose very strict selection criteria. Tough interviews, thorough checking of CVs, make them do a presentation, etc etc. Not just turn up, and turn up your trouser leg.

I would also propose disqualifying any current or past councillors who have represented more than one party in Thanet. The turncoats are only in it for the money.

Canvey Island has a council made up entirely of independents. Why shouldn't it happen in Thanet?

Anonymous said...

Just to clarify, I was agreeing with 12:27 there.

Anonymous said...

We should also rule out trade union members and people that went tp public school. People should not be allowed to grow or change. Independents should run the council even though the people rejected them in favour of the conservatives. Democracy sucks.
If you are liberal and have grown to believe in conservatism you should not move forward or grow - you should stay in the unhapy relationship just to please ignorant bigots like me.

Forget the rest, its just hearsay. At the end of the day, being party political as a Margate TRUSTEE is not a very wise, infact its more badloose/r than good-win/ner..
