I am against selling it off because I do not think it is necessary, I don't even aspire to the theory that the board members should change, although it might help. All that needs to change, is the way the profit is dealt with. Money is wasted year in and year out and not channelled into Dover as it should be, this is the problem. In your words the last government was not strong enough to change this, so lets see this government do it.
It is Dover/Deal that needs to benefit from our Port not some business that you or Charlie cannot say for certain will be British, let alone from Dover. If his proposal goes through and no local or British offer is tendered, do you really think this government won't sell it to overseas buyers?
Who, locally, in your view has the clout to buy our Port, with the view to divert profits into Dover?
But that has all been said before.
What I asked in my last post was why did Charlie not run his campaign on the back of this alternative idea?
I and I believe other's, would have given him and his new idea much more credence had he run with this during his campaign instead of the lip service he showed to everyone in saying he would oppose any sell off?
