The Thanet Star

Be a Thanet Councillor

Have you ever considered becoming a Thanet District or Kent County Councillor? I know I consider it on a regular basis mainly from utter frustration with each and every lat one of our councillors - the decent ones included.

It turns out that there is a site dedicated to helping regular folks like you or I becoming County Councillors. The site can be found at www.beacouncillor.org.uk and has the normal collection of self congratulatory hyper but also some interesting and useful videos and links.

I think many readers might be particularly interested in the section called First Steps to Becoming a Councillor. Fancy a new challenge in life?

Stock Market Seminars

If you fancy using money to make money you might be interested in some Free Stock Market Seminars in Kent. Okay so there are none in Thanet right now but follow K2A Guy and be the first to find out when there is.

No spam today, thank you.

Any more losers posting as Oes Tsetnoc for this lame SEO/Spam contest are going to get a full letter of complaint to their ISP.
