It really does not fall down to a choice between school leavers and OAPs for our political representatives. Perhaps locally, Ian Driver and Simon Moores are good examples of people who have been around, seen a bit of life and its problems, but still have plenty to give.<br /><br />Peter, I am not in denial and probably more able to accept the realities of political life than you in many ways. Jodie you see as an attractive young woman, but, having taken public office, she will be judged by her performance rather than her looks. At the moment she stands accused of neglecting her ward. It is something she needs to take on board and address if she wants to be taken seriously in her councillor role.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927801279761727020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-78375865924012947502013-12-08T22:04:34.769+00:002013-12-08T22:04:34.769+00:00Peter is right.

I regularly get branded stupid, senile, demented and a waste of tax payers money by anonymous commentators, particularly on Thanetonline and Eastcliff Richards blogs, but I do not blame Michael or Richard for it. It is the form it would seem in Thanet blogging and there was one such comment above with Ian graciously allowed me to respond to. I did not ask him to delete it, but just to give me the right to reply.<br /><br />As for Simon Moores, well he is not alone in thinking Will Scobie has been rather fast tracked through the council ranks to PPC when he really has little by way of experience to offer. That said, ultimately it is up to the South Thanet electorate to decide and the next general election is too far in the future to predict outcomes at this stage. Again with Jodie Hibbert, there are many, not just Simon Moores, who have noted her absence from her ward and, as a fellow councillor in the same ward and, as such, a likely competitor at the next election, it is not unreasonable for Simon to point this out. Perhaps Labour on their blog should be trumpeting her achievements as a councillor.<br /><br />I do agree with Ian, in principle though, that Thanet politics needs cleaning up, but I would tend to target the behind close doors brigade as opposed to those like Ian and Simon who are prepared to bring it out into the open and suffer the attacks and abuse that goes with that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927801279761727020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-45332868135917373772013-12-08T13:29:37.568+00:002013-12-08T13:29:37.568+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-24903983735790083162013-12-08T12:37:09.744+00:002013-12-08T12:37:09.744+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ian Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956304869323562491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-61780686204739016822013-12-08T11:55:35.970+00:002013-12-08T11:55:35.970+00:00I am not a lover of Simon, but he is NOT the counc...I am not a lover of Simon, but he is NOT the councillor who wants to BREAK WORROW...
