I have heard it so many times in Thanet
politics “You couldn’t make it up could you”.
No sooner than Roger Latchford OBE has donned
his purple rosette on behalf of UKIP, he is on telly spouting off about his pet
subject, Manston Aerodrome. I seem to
remember two years ago, the good people of Ramsgate gave a resounding NO to
night flying at said aerodrome and voted in a Labour Ramsgate Town Council,
tipping the balance at Thanet District Council in favour of Labour.
Well ol’ Rog OBE is now in charge of a group of
virgin councillors without an email amongst them. Let us consider our Roger’s pedigree,
he was the “brains” behind the Ezekiel Conservative administration. Well at
least he was Deputy Leader. No problem there then.
When Rog was in power last time he was in
charge of such successful schemes as EKO and Chinagate(way) which we all are appreciating to this day. Just a small reminder, in case you have
forgotten, these schemes were joint KCC / TDC initiatives in the time of the
Ezekiel administration. Excuse me for being a cynic but has Paul Carter just
received SEVEN more votes.
Next we will be hearing that Pleasurama is
starting again.
