Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

China Gateway, Thanet

The China Gateway, Thanet. It's big news right now and a lot of people are talking about it (still) and search for it (Check on China Gateway to see how much has been said of late).

So I thought I'd give you a quick tour of some of the sites talking about it.

Thanet Finder Blog Portal - China Gateway Page gives a good breakdown of the latest and greatest news and blog views on the subject. However space there is tight so let's look a little deeper.

First I guess we should look at the Thanet Council Disision on the subject before flipping over to the BBC coverage of the China Gateway story. From there you should find links to further stories on the subject.

Research and reporting guru Michael Child talks candidly about the risks having now been convinced that the environmental risks are too great. Read everything he has had to say on the subject here. Nip over to Michael's website to see which way each councillor voted.

The water supply is just the thing that
one blogger felt needed saving savethanetswatersupply.blogspot.com was the result.



China Gateway Manstone is the domain being offered for sale from £50 here.

Local satirist and general mad bloke, ECR has always been keen to report the news having quite a lot to say on the subject of the gateway.

Not to forget Tony Flaig's Big News Margate blog and his own opinions on the gateway. His full list of ChinaGateway posts can be found here.

Our local taxi driver and blogger wondered if the gateway was important at all. You can read that story here

Finally, of course, you can find everything we have had to say about China Gatway in Thanet.

Michael's arguments for ethical drainage plans in the CGP application, were vindicated by the recent trump Card played. The revelation about 470 tonnes of cyclohexanone.

Since then those posters, who had previously called Michael (and Malcolm Kirkaldie) "Scare mongers" and nuisances etc, well those anon posters have been more eloquent by their "Post cyclohexanone" silence than ever they were with their blog contributions.

Off for a jog this morning and a double pace Marines chant sort of entered my thoughts:

I have heard but I mighta been had

RVM diverts his taxi cab

No more shortcuts at Poorhole Lane

But to his fares he don't explain

@JeremyJacobs Indeed all poverty is relative. But to do without is still to do without.
