Thane...Rebecca, virtual or not, is right of course. Thanet is in a great position relative to the rest of the country.<BR/><BR/>If we are to believe even half of what we read in our local rags, we have the Thanet Earth project about to bear fruit (literally), the Turner C. under construction, the wind farm companies soon to take up residence at Ramsgate Harbour, a new ferry service about to start, hundreds of jobs at Manston, thousands of jobs at the Gateway, a new rail link that will chop at least a few minutes off the journey time to London, a new development on the front at Ramsgate.<BR/><BR/>What have I forgotten? Oh yes. We have 26 miles of fabulous coastline, beautiful harbours, lots of things to do during the summer months and a climate even in winter that is balmy in comparison to the poor blighters up North.<BR/><BR/>What we also seem to have unfortunately is too many people who only see the cup as being half full, and who seem to bring down or criticise the efforts of the good people who are trying to make things better.<BR/><BR/>Shame on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-83558801351280049232009-01-31T23:03:00.000+00:002009-01-31T23:03:00.000+00:00Ever so slightly off topic there 9:12 methinks...N...Ever so slightly off topic there 9:12 methinks...<BR/><BR/>NigeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-41329641715467994632009-01-31T21:12:00.000+00:002009-01-31T21:12:00.000+00:00Maggie Thatcher and Ronnie Reagan founded the Brit...Maggie Thatcher and Ronnie Reagan founded the British American project and you may be surprised at the alumni<BR/><BR/>UK members of the British-American Project include: <BR/><BR/>Peter Mandelson EU trade commissioner<BR/>Jonathan Powell Tony Blair's chief of staff<BR/>Jeremy Paxman broadcast journalist and author <BR/>Mo Mowlam former Labour Northern Ireland secretary <BR/>Adair Turner head of pensions commission <BR/>Trevor Phillips chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality <BR/>James Naughtie broadcast journalist and author <BR/>Matthew Taylor Downing Street head of policy <BR/>Chris Smith former Labour culture secretary <BR/>Baroness Symons Foreign Office minister <BR/>Lord Robertson former Nato secretary-general <BR/>Douglas Alexander Foreign Office and trade minister <BR/>Geoff Mulgan former head of Downing Street's policy and strategy unit <BR/>Baroness Scotland Home Office minister <BR/>Julia Hobsbawm public relations consultant <BR/>Steve Hilton Conservative special adviser <BR/>Benjamin Zephaniah poet and activist <BR/>Colonel Bob Stewart former commander of British forces in Bosnia <BR/>David Willetts Conservative shadow work and pensions secretary <BR/>Alan Sked founder of Ukip <BR/>Stephen Dorrell former Conservative health secretary <BR/>Yasmin Alibhai-Brown columnist and broadcaster <BR/>Richard Ashmole Eastcliff<BR/>Charles Moore former editor of the Daily Telegraph <BR/>Nick Butler BP group vice-president, strategy and policy development <BR/>Lord Lipsey Labour peer and authorNemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179242551066911527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-60714350647231821522009-01-31T21:04:00.000+00:002009-01-31T21:04:00.000+00:00ECR is an effective pain in the arse.

ECR is very effective at getting under the skin of those residents of Thanet who for one reason or another keep getting mentioned in the local rag.Just by the strength of feelings in your e-mails it is obvious he has succeeded in getting under yours. As someone who from time to time feeds an occasional idea to ECR I object strongly to be calling an unemployed mentalist- at least our items are newsworthy not like the editorials last year rambling on about trips to supermarkets, broken computers, hormones etc - now i wonder which paper I saw those in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-89225030683009186802009-01-31T08:06:00.000+00:002009-01-31T08:06:00.000+00:00There is a lot going on in Thanet that people don'...There is a lot going on in Thanet that people don't mention, ECR is not unique in that. Probably most of it is too boring to mention. But his skill at using the English language, use of vocabulary, turn of phrase etc is certainly vastly superior to that of most people who live on this island. He only claims to be waxing the bikini line of the news and to be fair that is what I think he does - whether Rebecca likes it or not he is already a "journalist" and i for one would miss his daily contribution, especially to Ramsgate life, very much.
