  Ed - You first of all refer to a more general point I made as I dont know your voting record. Perhaps I should have made it clearer.
  
  I do not recognise as factual much of the rest of your post either. Your characterisation of my political views is absurd and crude in the extreme as is your characterisation of the Conservative privatisation agenda. This is half informed emotion rather than logic speaking. You need only to look back at the the overmanned inefficient disaster zones that were the nationalised industries of the 70's to see that.
  
  The fact is that there is no advantage at all for the Trust structure. It is past its prime and threatens to hold back the future development of the Port. As the 'resident money man' I can assure you that Dover will be better served by a Port free from the dead hand of Government. This does not have to mean a sell off to johnny foreigner either, there are more ways than one to skin a cat. By being free to raise money for capital development in the markets, just as any other business, they can develop the Port creating future profit and ensuring future profitability. As a trust port it is restricted by the PSBR and we know just how big a problem there is, thanks to Brown, with that. The development of the Port under the Trust status simply will not happen for many years as a result and this is why the Board has changed its tune since 2005.
