You won't find much on Thanet in the Wikipedia and even less on sky news or some other wide audience news broadcast but that does not mean that we are not newsworthy.

I think it is more that the world has had enough stories of currption, police incompitency and escaped prisionors. The UK would now rather read about Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears or Paris Hilton at least according to the top searches on Google from the UK and Ireland.

But just to reasure you that by living in Thanet under a currupt District Council and an uncaring County Council you are still putting your life at risk here is a selection of healines from the Isle of Thanet Extra.

And what about the stories that have not made the paper? Like the 600 plus criminals that have walked free from a Kent prison with no way of tracing them.

Are we living in a "sleepy back water" or New York City?

Something needs to be done.
