The Thanet Star

...and the winner is Tony Flaig

Written by Matt B · first published 25/06/2009
This long over due Rising Star of Thanet Award goes to...

(Drum Roll Please)

Tony Flaig of Big News Margate.

Tony is one of Thanet's premier rising stars and has been featured in more BBC documentaries than any of the rest of us. I've been meaning to write this post for ages and feel bad that it has taken me so long to celebrate one of our best talents.

Tony has given coverage to the topic of Kent TV despite the risk it has exposed him too. Thankfully for us Kent TV don't scare our Tony. However our Tony scares their overpriced buttocks clean across the room.

Tony joins a select few Thanet rising stars who have so far been recognised with this award. It's well deserved too. Tony has had more than his fair share of strife from ne'er-do-wells that have an agenda to hide.

Let's raise a glass to "our Tony" and to many more years of great blogging!

@rmtimes I'm guessing from the nice round numbers that the half person didn't vote.

@JeremyJacobs Had to have a rain check - key people were having trouble getting flights down from other parts of the UK. I'll update you.

@neilhimself I'm hanging on number 13 - no more regenerations after that!

It is currently 0°C outside and in all likelihood it will drop to -2°C like last night. Keep warm out tonight.
