I have said on numerous occasions that it is up to our Conservative Councillors to decide the matter of who leads them. I hope they will make a sensible decision.<br /><br />If you think the sad decline of Margate in particular during years of 'boom' is an achievement then you must be in a minority. God help us all, now we are in a depression that has been worsened by an incompetent Labour Government. <br /><br />Whilst I from time to time comment on other issues, this is a 'Thanet' blog and is just my take on what I see going on in my little corner of England.<br /><br />Thank you for your viewpoint and please continue to take me to task on issues you and I must beg to disagree on.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-50441849763861636382009-04-28T21:13:00.000+01:002009-04-28T21:13:00.000+01:00Your blog content shows you to be a fairly unsavou...Your blog content shows you to be a fairly unsavoury character yourself Bertie, with some nasty followers. What's the difference? If Ezekiel's colleagues and the electorate judge him unfit then he should go. Politics at every level is a hard business and politicians should be left to slug it out for whatever party you look at there are no angels. Your paranoid attacks when there is so much else happening in the country and the world show you to be naiive and rather sour so I question your motives. I have not noticed anything in the papers that show him in as bad a light as you make out and there are signs of progress wherever I look. So why don't you give him a break? And you haven't said whether you have ever talked to him. How can you make judgements like you do if you have never met him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-67292682907269675062009-04-28T20:43:00.000+01:002009-04-28T20:43:00.000+01:00You miss the point entirely, 16.22 but of course y...You miss the point entirely, 16.22 but of course you would.<br /><br />If you are happy having a Council Leader who has failed to conduct himself publicly on not just one but two occasions that have been found to have breached Standards then that's fine with me. <br /><br />Do not expect me and other ashamed and embarrassed Conservative Party members to not make our opinions on the matter known or to agree with you. If the Leader of a Labour TDC had behaved in the same way, I would be equally critical. It is not a personal issue but one of simple Conservative values of honesty, integrity, truth that seem to be lacking here in Thanet.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-15638640886582169192009-04-28T16:22:00.000+01:002009-04-28T16:22:00.000+01:00I don't know any of the people you talk about pers...I don't know any of the people you talk about personally but it seems to me that you are on a one man campaign to alter the politics of Thanet by your attempts to destroy a man who has been elected by his residents and his fellow Conservative councillors. I take exception to that. <br /><br />Presumably you know him very well and so are able to judge his character and his motives Bertie. Because if you don't know him then I suggest it is you that it at fault here.<br /><br />To say the things that you do and to allow others to post on your blog that his hangers on are "unpleasant and unsavoury", does really smack of the nasty politics that you so evidently despise.<br /><br />Reading back through your blog I think you are paranoid in your hatred of Cllr.Ezekiel. That certainly makes me disregard much of what you say, however eloquent your argument.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-27948226466586841422009-04-27T20:32:00.000+01:002009-04-27T20:32:00.000+01:00Bertie,

We know he has unpleasant and unsavioury hangers on but try to fight them off please for the sake of our towns, nothing will improve whilst he is at the helm that is the message i would send out to supporters and potential supporters of any plotters.Very disappointed in Cllr. Moores' performance in spinning the salaries and blind support of the leader, thought he was made of better stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
