    The usual utter guff from Charlie regarding Farthingloe. Half a million pound houses for the young of Dover? Yeah, right. Jobs? Yes - limited numbers in the build phase for the suitably qualified but no real long term impact. H0ow many locals are employed at the Western Docks rejuvenation? And huge numbers of visitors expected at the Western Heights centre (sop to win over councillors) just like they were expected at the White Cliffs Experience. No doubt they will all frolic gaily down the slope into town to spend their dosh. Nothing to do with the donations from China Gateway to Tory funds at all. Here's another good planning idea - let's plan a large number of social housing builds in St.Margarets. I'm sure Charlie Chuckles would support that wholeheartedly.

    Worse of all, is the demonising of CPRE who apparently are all West kent luvvies with no understanding of how hard life is here down in the downtrodden East. Once the Farthingloe Valley is gone, we will never get it back. It is a historical and beautiful part of our heritage and should not be squandered by developers with no interest in this area apart from a means of lining their own pockets. Two of the directors of CGI have passed away recently which is no cause for celebration. But hopefully they may lose some of their impetus as a result. CGI own the Farthingloe site, a significant proportion of the Western Heights and Manston. Perhaps someone should put pressure on them to demolish the old sports hall at Farthingloe and re-landscape the site to its original beauty? That won't happen becasue they are £45m in hock to the Israeli Discount bank and have to monetise their assets to survive. Altruism doesn't enter into the moral compass. It does with the CPRE.

    Oh and finally we learn that the reasons for the Supreme Court rejection of DDC's appeal is down to poor minute taking. Wel f**k me. That's explains it all then. It's arguable at best, but if it is so, then it is only symptomatic of of poor local government.
