Local ukip candidate is not looking good right now, after her chief of staff appeared to be doing something suspicious with expenses in a Kent restaurant. Heard this on the radio 4 this morning and obviously our thought was "which restaurant?". It's not actually that local, it's Margate. Janice Atkinson is intending to stand as Folkestone and Hythe candidate in the election, but hopefully she is now scuppered and that will throw ukip's local plans into disarray.
This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for favourite places + things, and I hear it was a useful resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
