They have always been around and, yes, they must be down to the councillors though which ones could be the million dollar question. TDC ones or Kent ones when it comes to highways and byways? However, if shame is not strong enough for you, I think someones ass should be kicked for leaving that one there for that day.Bluenotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506047184035056068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-84185061263043836312010-06-01T08:11:03.344+01:002010-06-01T08:11:03.344+01:00What do you think about the twattish Councillorts ...What do you think about the twattish Councillorts who are supposed to represent the area but failed to ensure that the hole was filled in?

Taking the wider content of the article, I support the events to mark the anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation, think it a shame TDC could not have sorted the hole in the road out beforehand and likewise that the Sundowner could not take part. On this issue there is not much else to have an opinion about.

Nobody could possibly post what he does without being paid to do it. He doesn't express any kind of personal opinion. It's all politically correct claptrap. <br /><br />I think I speak for the population at large when I say that we are all fed up with politically correct claptrap. We want to know what people stand for and we want people to express themselves openly. <br /><br />The Rock must spend 10 hours a day posting twaddle on Thanet blogs, yet you wouldn't have a clue what he is for or against.
