Be good to see the clowns from Thanet District council there
If I wanted to see clowns, I’d go to a TDC meeting!
great comments , are they looking into a way of banning this or stopping it , they usualy have an agenda for anything going on in thanet
‘Send in the clowns … Don’t bother they’re here’.
Judy Collins.
Miserable comments above. Any of these commenters been on a committee? I have, and it’s hard,though useful and rewarding, work. If you lot haven’t had that experience, stop slagging off your local councillors.
You’re one of those sad clowns with an upside down smile.
I don’t think any committee would relish the prospect of having people like these around its table.
It’s all too easy to sit on the sidelines and snipe with infantile comments; it’s a different kettle of fish to actually address serious problems and try and come up with workable solutions.
TDC is a democracy, so if we aren’t satisfied with the work of our councillors we can vote them off at an election.
Making childish comments here won’t change anything.
Lighten up, and gis us a smile!
A brilliant response, and one we’ll worthy of Pink/Checksfield.
“Infantile comments “is a good description.
So is “sad clown”.
“Sad clown” is not a description which anyone who knows me personally would use. I do not want a reply from someone who has previously called me a prostitute on one of these comment threads.
LOL!
I find it extraordinary that you should find it amusing to refer to a woman as a “whore” and a “tramp”.
I think it’s high time that you stopped commenting, if you can’t find civil words to use.
Fiction.
There are screenshots
Photoshop.
Andrew, you are absolutely correct. Those were the words used by Peter Checksfield/Ms Pink.
