10 Thanet Heretics You Should Bookmark

Thanet needs heretics that take a look at the status quo and says "This will not stand". They face things as they are and they say "there is a different way".

Here are just ten of Thanet's heretics that if you have not bookmarked the sites of you should. They are in no particular order and I know I've had to leave people out.

Tony Flaig, Big News Margate (@tonyflaig on twitter) - for the honest man-on-the-street opinion on things then Tony is that man although which street he is to be found on remains a mystery.

Eastcliff Richard (@eastcliffrichar on twitter) - ECR is a heretic that refuses to take things too seriousely and in doing so shines a harsh light on things that should not be taken too seriously.

Michael Child - when it comes to grilling the pants off of councillors over planning issues this is a heretic that will not stop.

Keep reading for more of Thanet's heretics and boat rockers.


Peter Checksfield of Naked in Thanet (NSFW) - Peter is famouse for going his own way when it comes to art, clothes and all things outdoors. No stranger to contriversy Peter is not swayed by the nay sayers and continues to be different in a radical way.

Ken Gregory - he's a Tory but I'll forgive him. While Ken might be part of the party that keeps voting in the worst possible council leader he's not afraid to follow his own path - even if that path does bend further right than most.

Bertie Biggles, Thanet Strife - stepping up to poke fun in the gap left by one of Simon Moores' "final departures from blogging" Bertie soon found that the issues in question were quite engaging. Not afraid to shine a light where-ever the shadows of life fall.

David Green, Eastcliff Matters (@EastcliffMatter on twitter) - he's a Labour lad (but never mind) and not afraid to get political on his blog. He's clearly got those with an agenda to push running scared because three or four times he's been silenced for a time.

Don, Promote Thanet (@ascu75akaDon on twitter) - when the fasion and mood of Thanet blogging has been to run the place down Don walks the road less trod and sings it's praises.

Maisiegrace - she does not publish very often but she's not afraid to call out the blogeratti on their attitudes to Thanet.

Adem, The Big Blog - not frightened to be a Thanet blogger that does not feel the need to talk endlessly about Thanet District Council. Adem is taking his blogging in a different direction.

While it is not exactly a secret that I do not see eye-to-eye with Dr Moores I feel that he sold his soul somewhat and recanted his heresy "for the greater good". Feel free to disagree with me - that's what makes blogging so much fun - new opinions to digest.
