BULLY BOY TACTICS.

Dear 4th May Voters,

We have an apology to make to Mr. Lofting. He has taken the time and trouble to write to us but his attachment slipped through our net. However, the sentiment in his message is so strong on the subject of free speech that we have decided to publish it today. Please forgive us, we're only human. 

Better late than never:


Heavy Handed Bully Boy Tactics

 

I thought that the end of the cold war, when the wall in Berlin came down we had seen the end of the Stazi. It appears that it has resurfaced at Shepway District Council.

 

Not withstanding the regulations on fly posting, I can understand SDC's frustrations with a rally organised against their pet project (garden town), but we live in a democratic country, remember last June?, I cannot see how a council have the powers to censor a website just because they do not like it, I don't like my hard earn't council tax being used for building land investment. Had the contents been offensive then perhaps, but as the information is to inform people to an event, then I would say this is a gross interference in our lives.

 

What are we to do?

What the SDC seems to have forgotten in their airs of superiority, is the fact we are not mindless minions. First of all tell everyone and anyone that you know, about the rally and get them to attend on 22nd April and then take a leaf out of the new generations book and take to social media in all its forms and broadcast far and wide!

 

I expect true to Stazi form, there will be a presents undercover from SDC, to see who is opposing them, but as far as I am aware, providing the march is peaceful they cannot oppose or stop it, lets be loud proud and let our feelings be felt all the way to Castle Avenue. Do not let the bullies win.
