A Developing Story

I hear there has been another fire in, as a former Blogger used to call “The Arsonists Playground”. The Constitutional Club is no more.

So far there is limited information as to why anyone would want to burn down the building, but reports suggest a striking similarity when describing a person fleeing the scene.

A short, fat, elderly person with thick glasses, demented hair and frightening dress sense was observed in Hawley Square clutching a box of matches and the charred remains of a trouser press.

The statements go on to describe the said person babbling hysterically to trees, stray dogs and a group of resident drunks who only survived the onslaught as they were almost comatose.

However, one of their group was not so fortunate and had to eat his own leg to escape with his life.

Although in shock and with chronic indigestion, the now one-legged drunk recalled the ranting was something about the benefits of concreting over Thanet parks and filling in a cave while posing for pictures with residents!

The investigation continues.

Now this does sound like a late party political broadcast by 'The Leader' being short on facts and long on inuendo. Maybe The Reaper is Clive Hart after all?

Notice also the real clincher is the reference to stray dogs alluding to promises to tackle dog poo contained in the illustrious manifesto.

18:56 is way too clever for me!

So are you going to be posting about the Payam Tamiz incident? Or are you a tory? I would be interested to see what you have to say about this so called tory councillor and his checkered past.........

Thanet Reaper said...

I suggest you up your dosages and take out some personal legal insurance!
Your chequered past is far more interesting for me to reap through, especially that conviction you keep so quiet in polite company. Naughty naughty!

Anonymous said...

Up my dosages? Personal Legal Insurance? My past? My Conviction? You are barking up the wrong tree Reaper as I have no problems past or present! I suggest you think again as to who this may be! So you won't be reporting on Mr Tamiz then?? So you evidently are a Tory protecting one of your flock......... Mind you then again..... YOUR past is VERY interesting in this Human world isn't it...........

Thanet Reaper said...

Keep posting.
I love it.
Your self righteous pseudo-investigative bullshit makes me roll about laughing.
You're nearly as funny as Etonian Flaig & The-Prat-In-The-Hat.
PS Why not tell everyone who I am. What you afraid of?
The Conviction or the Rumour?

Thanet Reaper said...

Come on.
Be a sport.
I'll offer a free week in a Psychiatric Unit of your choice for the correct answer!
Or.... An all-expenses-paid cruise along the Styx!

Why don't you suck my left testicle reaper? You want to start something? Crack on.... Whats my so called conviction arsehole?? Your blog is full of bullshit.... Everything you have written is spun up crap!

The Gent said...

Oh dear, Thanet Reaper, I must say some of your followers have a delightful turn of phrase. Such colourful language albeit with a superfluous of excreta. Wit, however, would seems to be in short supply.

Keep blogging for variety is the spice and all that. Also good to see you getting under the odd skin.

Thanet Reaper said...

Dear Gent,
As always you are an oasis of charm, moderation and elegance.

It would appear that poor 32 15 has had his nerves tweaked completely beyond repair. Unfortunately he doesn't have the intellect to express his irritation at said tweaking.

What he doesn't realise is that as I write this epistle, his less-than-lovely partner is doing to me exactly what he suggests I do to him!

How ironic!

Any similarities between this fire and the ones at pleasurama scenic railway and rotunda

Anonymous said...

Still awaiting to hear what my so called conviction is Reaper.... Oh what a surprise you don't know who this is as you try to make out!

Silverthorne said...

So are you a tory reaper as others have said in this forum? Will you be posting on the Payam Tamiz incident? The Payam drugs circle and violence circle or are you unaware of his past...

Or what about the Sandys issues such as the fact that before the 2005 general election, Sandys applied to be selected as a tory candidate in fourteen parliamentary constituencies and yet was only shortlisted in Surrey Heath and Arundel and South Downs before finally being accepted into Thanet..... She is only in Tory politics because of her father. Or then again maybe posting about where she was funded from during her running etc... that was an interesting source wasn't it.... in fact it was a steal ;)

Or maybe an interesting article on the much "loved" Roger Gale? Married 3 times, a supporter of the death penalty??

Or is it purely anti Labour / Lib Dem / Nottingham / or as you so put it.... Prat In The Hat??

Look forward to your next blog!!

The Gent said...

What a bitter, bigotted soul Silverthorne must be. Still attacking Payam Tamiz although the chap did the decent thing and fell on his sword. Next it is Laura Sandys who has done more in one year than Ladyman did in three parliamentary terms.

Might surprise Silverthorn to know that candidates for constituencies frequently apply to dozens before they finallty get one. Nothing wrong with being selective or choosing the right person for the right slot. At least the lady was not plonked into a safe seat because of her daddy, but had to win one back from Labour.

At least Roger Gale gets married which is a nicety that has so far eluded Ed Milliband. He just has kids with them.

And finally to the Reaper, sometime Clive Hart spokesman and sometime Tory. Actually I do really think he is on the other side highly amused at the frustrations of the mere mortals who get all twitter and bisted at his postings.

Keep Reapings for there are thrombies developing in some quarters!

Still no comment on the similarity between various high profile fires in east Kent in the last decade or so.

Anonymous said...

What can one say on the fires, Anon. As a former insurance investigator, I am totally mystified for I would have expected a result were they deliberate.

Trouble is, people may have their suspicions, but to voice them could give rise to court action.

wots your views on the nasty pinko ian driver and his new blog. wasnt he one of scargills mates

Anonymous said...

The nasty pinko, who is redder than red, 19:35, is likely to prove to be an acute embarrassment to Thanet Labour. Sounds like come back Mark, all is forgiven.

I think the Reaper is away sunning himself in the underworld

I think the Reaper has been dealt a blow by Satan himself - either that or he's away in the underworld sucking off the gent......... Two pea's in a pod together in this

The Gent said...

Oh what frivalous wit from 21:46. Sucking off..ha..ha..ha...please stop before I piss myself laughing at your literary turn of phrase. Then he goes on to two peas in a pod, although for, for some strange reason uses the possessive pea's instead of the plural peas, meaning more than one. Is this the reincarnation of the bard, perchance?

Anonymous said...

No not the bard, although my english may not be perfect as yours is "gent" believe me I know whats happening here.... you're in with the reaper, and yes you probably have a mouthful of his gentlemans region right now!
Funny how you are always on this site, ready to bite back!

Anonymous said...

The reaper hasn't been on since the 9th, I guess now his work is done bringing down Nottingham..... oh what joys we have now with Ian....... Come on back Mark - We need you now more than ever!!

Anonymous said...

I think he will be back if he's not on holiday in hell then he's likely working somewhere warmer

The Gent said...

Anon of the obsession with male genitals, if you bothered to look around the blogspots you would find that I pop up anywhere from Thanet Life to Big News Margate, generally more frequently than on this site which has rather less frequent postings.

Despite your claims, I have no idea who the Reaper is nor do I have any particular axe to grind for him or her. Indeed, thinking about it, the oral sex suggestions might have more appeal were she Miss Reaper.

Anyway, suffice to say that I cannot help with the current whereabouts of the evil one, but you might find something of interest over on the Red Thanet site. Even the devil could not be more red than that chap.

Presumably Driver's extreme views were known about in Labour Party circles before the Get Nottingham campaign started. Which presumably means that whoever pulls the local party strings wanted a Militant throwback rather than a Euro-apparatchik.

Disenchanted said...

Well he gets his four and a half grand councillor's allowance now plus, it is rumoured in the underworld, payments from Labour party central office. The latter are for scouring the websites and social networking for dirty stories on Tories.

Of course, Driver's past was known to local Labour, for his Scargill disciple days are well documented. Evidently a lurch to the left, almost to the point of falling off the side, is seen as the way forward in Thanet.

Interestingly, after posting on their Thanet Lab site that co-operation was the way forward, this week's local rag is full of letters from Labour councillors slagging off the Tories. The mayor of Ramsgate even slags off our hard working South Thanet MP.

It all augers well for co-operation so fasten your seatbelts.

Anonymous said...

Our local rag has always been left-leaning

Anonymous said...

Comrade Hart had best watch his back then because, lacking any real popular mandate, the Militant way to power is by back stabbing and civil war. The other two Northwood councillors will be no match for Driver and they will soon wish that they hadn't got rid of Nottingham. Red Robbo politics died 25 years ago and as subsequent elections have shown most Brits hover around the political Centre - Tony Blair only came to power by being more Tory than the Tories.

Disenchanted said...

Well said, Anon 12:32, and it would seem that Labour have made an anti-Blair, anti-New Labour left lurch as though it were Blair's and not Brown's fault they lost the last election. How the militants have emerged from their nasty little holes since sensing a weak leader who sold his soul to them to shaft his brother.

Hart better brush up on his Militant Tendency doctrines pretty damn sharp. By the way, where has Nottingham gone - from a leading Labour blogger to silence for some time now.

Anonymous said...

1048. To be fair to IoTG there is one letter from Comrade Driver and one other from Dave "Who Ate All The Pies" Green. That was balanced out by a lengthy piece of self-delusion from Jill "It's All Mrs Griffiths Fault" Kirby. Despite that,1214 is right - IoTG is left leaning.

Anonymous said...

Interesting comments about the IoTG for it has an editor who comes from a bluer than blue family background, but who tries so hard to be nuetral that she finishes up wearing red knickers and giving coverage to all things Labour.

Anonymous said...

She could try the neutral stance a bit harder
1. No letters published from serving councillors and other known activists
2. No political columns by MPs or prospective ones
3 Balanced coverage by all journalists
4. If she can't do neutral then resign

Anonymous said...

17:29, and you should try to be a bit more relaxed. I was being frivalous for, as far as I know, the lady does not really wear red knickers. Mind you I once knew a lady who wore orange knickers but that was in Belfast!

Anonymous said...

Underwear colour is irrelevant - IoTG is not neutral
I once knew a bar girl with a wooden leg - really handy in a fight. Orange knickers in Belfast - depends which side of the wall you're on

Orange Lily's side obviously! My suit would not have gone down too well on the falls.

I've heard she doesn't wear any knickers.

With all this talk of knickers he is probably trying to have a wank but very difficult when all you have is bones!

So the Red Reaper has done Labour's dirty work. Should we be praising the efforts of those who contributed to the ideas to the posts? Shame on them all. If this is how the local party behaves then Thanet Labour disgusts me.
