And yet you support the opening of a new air CARGO hub at #manston in #Ramsgate. A filthy, noisy, highly polluting scheme that will damage the health and wellbeing of local residents with planes just 500ft above homes. How's the airline (MAMA) you have registered going ? #COP27 – at Broadstairs, England
I’m #Conservative because I like choice, not bans. Charging network not there, insufficient #electricity gen, grave concerns about mining of rare elements: the unspeakable human misery, environmental damage & supply chain control by #China & even more doubtful as to CO2 savings.

Does one qualify for this committee through ignorance of facts, science & expertise? How’d you feel on role-reversal; if you were a councillor in Ramsgate, potentially suffering from the detrimental effects.
Sandwich will quickest under water due to climate change.🤫 @uk_karen

Have you read the 12 independent reports, incl from @PINSgov, saying there's no need for this, the jobs predictions are grossly inflated, jobs will be lost in the visitor economy, it'll damage the climate & have 'significant adverse effects' on Ramsgate's 40,000+ people?

It appears from your blog, you live in #margate? Forgive me if I am wrong. If you lived in #Ramsgate you'd be fighting against a new air CARGO at #manston. It appears the older generation of #Thanet are supporters ignoring the future re #climatechange. No jobs on a dead #planet! – at Broadstairs, England
@transportgovuk should've gone to specsavers u'd see a Runaway of 2,748 m (9,016 ft) long #Manston #Airport strong enough to take any plane teapawt.net/BBCSouthToday/status/7…

Hi everyone, could you all send @BDBpitmans a tweet asking them to get their client @RSPManston to pay their legal bill to Jenny Dawes for the last JR. We need to embarrass these people into paying up. We the taxpayer gave them £8.5m thanks to @SirRogerGale so they have the money

A biased report. @Kent_Online Pro #manston and nothing about the negative impact it will have on #Ramsgate and #eastkent, it's people, local jobs and the #environment. #climatechange NO to #manston!

"This is the defining issue of our time, nobody has the right to sacrifice international action on climate change for any reason,"
That includes Heathrow who still claim they know better than @theCCCuk that there does not need to be demand management

Posh B&B @hevercastle with a free 05.54 wake up call courtesy of Bamboo Airlines. ‘Day of rest’ - not around here since ‘nothing changed’ in 2014.

#Manston #ClimateCrisis
Can all councillors please let residents know that they are really committed to urgent& significant action on climate? Everyone needs to understand that a declaration of a climate emergency means nothing if @ThanetDC is supportive of a new airport. @LabourThanet ? @ThanetGreens ?
Despite the huge impact of Covid on our visitor economy,we still did better than the national picture. People want to visit #Thanet. They don’t want or need a 24/7 airport that will wreck our tourism & local jobs. theisleofthanetnews.com/2022… #nocargohubairport #manston
The visitor economy is vital to #Thanet #Ramsgate . Look at these figures EVEN during peak Covid year. Drastically down but still vital in terms of jobs,money,businesses none of which need the inevitably negative impact of a 24/7 cargo hub airport. #nomanstonairport
Only 340 supported your petition @cmackinlay This tells you the true extent of support for an airport at #Manston Support the majority of constituents please & not a pitifully small number who refuse to listen to expert opinion & sound evidence
So @cmackinlay ‘s petition to Parliament carried only 340 names- of people who objected to @RamsgateTown correctly spending money in support of the vast majority of people in town that DON’T want an airport at #Manston #Ramsgate does not need or want an airport #NoCargoHubAirport
Seems whatever happens at #Manston is failure but this is truly tragic. Shocking. theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…

People matter, the environment matters, fair process matters… but the Government is riding roughshod over all in its support of a new cargo hub in Kent. More info and to support a campaign to stop this, see below. @BylineTimes crowdjustice.com/case/suppor…
