The other jobs are likely to be driving fork-lifts or assembly work. The 3000 jobs that got bandied about are not in the planning application but seems to be a number conjured up by those supporting the scheme. The first phase is the exhibition hall plus a few warehouses. The subsequent phases are on farmland that would need government consent to be developed and that could take years. The company has said it's all three phases or nothing so even if the first phase gets permission I doubt anything will happen for ages.The company will, no doubt, spend months arguing about the cost of mains drainage and 'Please can we go ahead without it?' <BR/><BR/>So, don't hold your breath any unemployed/low wage Thanet folk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-84235489212706376832008-08-10T20:09:00.000+01:002008-08-10T20:09:00.000+01:00I am the so called rabble and many of them are my ...I am the so called rabble and many of them are my fiends! most are on tax credit top ups and live in one room flats sharing a toilet with 20 others whilst having to take out a credit card to have any luxery in life.<BR/><BR/>If you call that living then great for you.<BR/><BR/>I call it surviving not living..lol <BR/><BR/>Anyway hope the China Gateway helps me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-46549711275952473592008-08-10T19:04:00.000+01:002008-08-10T19:04:00.000+01:00To say it is impossible to live in low skilled job...To say it is impossible to live in low skilled jobs is crap.

Those men took the trouble to travel all the way to China to help save Thanet from falling further towards the stone age.<BR/><BR/>3.50 is quite right, except that it isn't tiredness and roughness caused by work that can be seen in the faces of the great unwashed across Thanet. It's more likely to be the ravashes caused by having nothing better to do but drink, take heroin, snort coke, fight and churn out babies.<BR/><BR/>I think that perhaps people who never leave the isle don't realise just how backwards Thanet looks to people who live in the modern world. It's really beyond a joke how rough people look, sound and smell here. <BR/><BR/>So, even if Roger and Sandy were, for the sake of this ludicrous fantasy, found guilty of having the trip paid for by a chinese slavemaster, took backhanders from the corrupt chinese government, gorged themselves on chow mein and spring rolls every moment of each day when they were there, used their time to sell carpets to every restaurant they entered and got drunk and moelsted a giant panda cub I would still be happy with them.<BR/><BR/>As at least they are trying to promote the economic future of the isle. Which is more than some people are, sitting on their blogs backbiting at their betters.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as if either Roger or Sandy would have kept anything in a Tesco carrier bag.
