I dont know who it was how kicked up a fuss, i have heard it was someone who lives on the front at westbrook... whoever it was that one person cost Margate traders, they say 500 down each avridge spend £230 500 x 230 = £115000 in potensal lost revenue for Margate.

The reasoning is thus:<BR/><BR/>1. Last month Dr Moores posted on his blog that there were rumours of an imminent biker invasion of Westgate, where he was at the time standing for the Tories in the upcoming local elections.<BR/><BR/>2. I then posted full details of the scooter rally here on my blog, putting the record straight and pointing out that we should be welcoming these people with open arms.<BR/><BR/>3. Dr Moores then posted on his blog saying: <I>I have been asked to pass on that this weekends two wheel rally in Westgate, is a motor scooter celebration with around 200 people expected and to allay any concerns from Westbrook residents, these are being accomodated at King Ethelberts school in Westgate.</I><BR/><BR/>Draw your own conclusions, but the suggestion is that once he was in full possession of the facts, he rang the council as an irate councillor-to-be and got them to change the camp site venue. Why else would he say: <I>I have been asked to pass on...</I>?<BR/><BR/>There's no proof, of course, and he denies it.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-14267309071643790032007-05-08T22:26:00.000+01:002007-05-08T22:26:00.000+01:00I think Thanet should welcome anyone who has money...I think Thanet should welcome anyone who has money to part with.Snailspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747005802676699452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-1799689535182422692007-05-08T18:01:00.000+01:002007-05-08T18:01:00.000+01:00So i read that it was complaints from residents th...So i read that it was complaints from residents that had the camp site moved at the eleventh hour, word on the street was it was just one resident, a coucil big wig... so lets make 2000 visitors welcome shall we? all spending around £240 each in Margate. Most people in attendance were in there late 30's early 40's with familys who might come back... mmm still never mind, who need visitors anyway, not traders, businesses, hotels etc thats for sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-75196694510915936522007-05-08T13:21:00.000+01:002007-05-08T13:21:00.000+01:00I want one!I want one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-6091118594241033532007-05-07T13:22:00.000+01:002007-05-07T13:22:00.000+01:00Pity the Dutch boffins, that I mentioned earlier o...Pity the Dutch boffins, that I mentioned earlier on my blog, didn't make a promotional video of their own.
