The Red Sparrows

A bunch of firemen from Basingstoke in little planes made of bits of bicycle and cardboard who perform death-defying stunts with less than realistic props.

Like a tribute band, but much, much sillier.

Genius. bit.ly/xW28fH

Foley's Folly

David Foley, the Chief Exec of Thanet & East Kent Chamber Ltd, actually believes Manston's sales patter. Unfortunately. bit.ly/xE41No

Kerswell out of it, Paul Carter now Emperor of Kent.

Cllr Carter will wear a toga of Imperial purple when in public, and feast on roast peacocks daily. We, on the other hand, will be fed to the lions. There will be no circuses. There will be no bread. Does anyone remember voting for this? bit.ly/w0ttuM

Hung in Thanet

Being hung might be the best outcome for Thanet and its Council. It might even turn out to be a blessing for the airport. bit.ly/tcLUhL

Life under the flight path

If regular Manston night flights become the norm, then living in my home will obviously become impossible... bit.ly/vwXKpT

Manston out-performed by a small hole in the ground...

Tragic really - after 11 years in private hands, the airport's contribution to the county's economy is less than half that of, er, a small hole in the ground... bit.ly/tQlHjs

Yanks for the memory

The ugly truth about the USAF at #Manston. There are those who go misty-eyed at the memory of the USAF and their fantastically noisy jets - it appears that the memory is selective... bit.ly/uoD2xv

Paul Carter: Emperor of Kent.

Well, since he's set about firing anyone else with any kind of power, he's a lot closer than he was last week. bit.ly/sCHuGw

Sanctions busting at Manston

Many of you have been wondering why the state airline of a pariah nation regularly visits a failing airport in the corner of England. Find out here: bit.ly/sbvFK4

Labour denies Manston night flight U-turn

A "whipped" vote is an affront to democracy. Each councillor's first duty is to the residents of their ward, and if that conflicts with party policy, then the residents' interests should win every time. bit.ly/rVJY64

Woken in the small hours, 5th October.

Manston night flights over Ramsgate just after midnight and just before 3am. Do you think they'll be fined? Rebuked? Tutted at slightly? bit.ly/rqLtCD
