Andy
I have re-read my posts again and I'm still unsure what are 'the words' Vic should be protected from in my posting?

It was a bit harsh though Marek, you do say so yourself in your own post .. see my previous posting number 20. Lets keep it friendly so that everyone can feel comfortable posting, thats the idea. Sounds a simple philosophy, but experience tells us its not always that easy to achieve.

As you know I like many others are against the sell of the port,and the state of our town which has been like it this last 25years or more and the only way to help both issue,s is keeping them in the public eyes and the only way to do that is by the papers or TV and that is what I try to do, Marek you are wrong with the way you have done you post 9 and is well out of order, and I have never asked you not to make your comments on Dover,I did say you do not live here now.
Thank you saying what you said Andy.
Because I am outspoken at time does not mean I like doing it,but to get my points over and to get the public to take note what is going on around them(or not going on) I find this is the best way to do it and I will carry on doing it.
And just to add to this,Dover is still a royal port, so if things are not right and we all know they are not, I wrote to the boss of the port to tell her so,and that is the Queen,how many times do you go into a store and are not happy so you aske to see the manger,it is the same thing.

Good on yer, Vic!
I doubt it could ever happen, but never let bullying (in whatever form it takes) put you off. I know of no more committed a Dovorian, and you put all others to shame. Where you persist with reasoned argument, I would be tempted to stick two fingers up at them all, but then I think that's what makes you a better man than I.
True friends stab you in the front.

I take exception to your comments about my 'bullying' and think you are totally out of order.I was prepared to let the matter rest but to accuse me of bullying is ,in your words,disgraceful. I was merely putting forward my point of view as to Vics 'true' motives and reasoning for writing to Her Majesty, to which,I believe.I am entitled to ask.
Vic then compounds your 'bullying' by referring to your size,build and physique as if this was some playground discussion between adolescents. Grow up.
No wonder UKIP will never come to power if thats how you two deal with reasoned debate.

it may be best to draw a line under this debate chaps, it is not doing the forum any favours.

Vic - "Dover is still a royal port" ? I thought that honour only went to Ramsgate
Personally, I think about 10% of the population of the district of Dover are really vocal about the 'sale' of the port, 40% are probably for it, and 50% don't care !!
Been nice knowing you :)

You are absolutely right Paul, Ramsgate is the only royal port. Dover is incorporated by Royal Charter a completely different animal.
Andy, perhaps our distinguished Moderator, was being moderate. After all, no harm done to either party and clearly Vic and Marek may be engineering a social meeting too, so, all just a storm in a teacup, if indeed it was a storm.
What is more worrying is UKIP don't appear to know what Dover is; see #31 for an explanation that may be useful.

Dave you are wrong Dover is still a royal port please read my post two weeks ago when I done a post on just that. Thank You. As for the size of my mate Andy it was a Joke I have said the same thing many times before and it should be taken that way (By the way he is a very big lad and it is nice to have him with me, but also he is very good at letter writing which I can not say about myself,and is agreat help not only to me but UKIP as well and a very nice person who also works for our town.

i always thought that any royal town, county or borough had it in their title.
bognor regis, royal berkshire, the royal borough of kensington and chelsea etc.
surprised that ramsgate is royal.
If Dover is Royal it can only be due it being in a Right Royal Mess!!!

Some fuss a while back I remember about Royal Tunbridge Wells, regaining the royal bit if I remember correctly?
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

I did not say the town is royal only the port.

states inter alia "....The lack of respect on this forum for fellow members from some quarters is astonishing; ..."
I informed PaulB & Howard that I would cease from making further comment on this particular thread so as a man of my word I shall stand by that decision,

Vic, as I told you at the meeting, it was corageous of you to write that letter and send it. It's not that one has to agree or not agree, but rather that one cannot deny that it was an act of courage, and you did very well.
The fact is that the majority of Dovoorians have said: No! to the privatisation of Dover Port, this is Democracy, and I am still figuring out how the supporters of the privatisation plan are going to hammer their plan forward without destroying Democracy in its most evident manifestation. You need not be discouraged by any counter discussion, because the democratic majority does not have to give up freedom of speech and freedom of views to a minority!
Keep it up!
Life would be a lot duller without the quixotic quests of our own 'don Quijote de la Matcham'.
Keep it up Vic!
Here's a picture of the man himself holding forth to a potential UKIP voter a couple of months ago during the election campaign.
