Thanet Life: UKIP Playing Politics with Manston?
http://birchington.blogspot.com/2015/04/ukip-playing-politics-with-manston.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Monday, April 27, 2015. UKIP Playing Politics with Manston? Manston Airport – A Statement – From Sir Roger Gale. 8220;I have received, in today`s post, a letter sent by UKIP`s “Transport Spokesman”, Ms. Seymour, headed “Important information about the future of Manston Airport”. I have tried, stoically, to keep party-politics out of the Manston issue but I cannot ignore such a blatantly dishonest campaign gimmick that could, ultimately, damag...

Thanet Life: One View or Two?
http://birchington.blogspot.com/2015/01/one-view-or-two.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. One View or Two? Not long in from Frankfurt and I've published Sir Roger Gale's ' View. Of the Thanet Draft Local Plan, below. Reading the Westgate Development Concerns Facebook page. I'm struck both there and by my conversations on the street, at how little people understand the process of local democracy and how it works; or not as the case may be. A London View of Docklands. Another great ' View'. We have an ad...

Thanet Life: 1812 All Over Again?
http://birchington.blogspot.com/2015/04/1812-all-over-again.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. 1812 All Over Again? Tim Marshall, who many readers will recall as Sky News Foreign Editor, asked me to write a guest piece for his weblog, The What and the Why. This week and for interest, I'm sharing it here, because it has an indirect bearing on the future of Thanet, as much as anywhere else. But the move towards the first and second industrial revolutions which gave us Karl Marx, Thomas Edison, Keynes, Henry For...

Thanet Life: Spot the Brothel
http://birchington.blogspot.com/2006/05/spot-brothel.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Sunday, May 14, 2006. One reader has already suggested the site of a popular local brothel after reading the earlier post, allegedly, “Opposite 16 Canterbury Road Westbrook” and run by a ‘Miss Satin’. Would anyone else like to offer ‘known’ addresses of the others which are apparently the latest boost to the local economy, offering diverse opportunities to migrant workers. For those with a more mature taste you might be interested in Vicky's ...

Thanet Life: Taking the Leap
http://birchington.blogspot.com/2014/08/taking-leap.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Saturday, August 30, 2014. Watching a movie being made in Station Road or even finding a superhero, waiting at the bus-stop, is an everyday occurrence in Westgate-on-Sea these days. Then there's our own local version of Top Gear running around the streets after midnight, frequently repeated several times a week. I wonder if we could persuade the super-heroes to stay-up into the early hours to deal with boy-racers? Back to the real world and w...

http://birchington.blogspot.com/2012/06/night-flights-online.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Thursday, June 07, 2012. The very heated Council debate on the matter of Night Flights for Manston airport is now available to view online here. For readers on both sides of the argument, who didn't have a chance to attend the meeting or experience is 'highlights' this is a chance to listen to the debate, judge the facts and arrive at your own conclusions. And finally. I'm going to start alternating the background images on this weblog an...

http://birchington.blogspot.com/2015/08/coast-to-coast.html
Stories from the Edge of the North Kent Coast by Simon Moores. Monday, August 03, 2015. A short video of a 'Coastal Run' flight I did this last weekend, taking in the Eurotunnel at Folkestone, Dover harbour and of course the runway at Manston. I was using a little 'Muscle' biplane; a lot of fun too! Margate, News Thanet, Dover. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Until August 1914, an Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the State.". Simon Moores on Twitter. RAMSGATE RALL...
