In May when UKIP won in Thanet one of their biggest issues was finding the right calibre of candidate and in the quantity needed to run the Council. And when 5 of their new found Councillors decided to jump ship after throwing all their toys from the pram and form their own group called the Democratic Independent Group (DIG) the local political pundits had a field day.
Now it seems there is something strange in their group, The Councillor for Northwood seems to be a strong supporter of the Pro Manston campaign however he seems somewhat cagey about his own personal credibility and has been challenged by the "Walter Mitty" group who take exception to people "stealing valour" from genuine heroes
Now take a serious look at the medal cluster which include an MBE, The Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC) The Military Cross (MC) and the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC)
Yet this (alleged) decorated war hero tried to join the Royal British Legion a year ago and was declined. Why!! it seems he said he was a Regimental Sarjeant Major in the Paras, he served in the Black watch and did a stint in the SAS during which he assisted in an embassy siege in Peru.
The Walter Mittys have always provided their evidence to the person they are outing which would have occurred in December 2015 so its odd that no comments has been forthcoming from Konnor but then he seems to spent much time out of the limelight in Margate hospital.
His former leader Chris Wells had this to say
And when that statement occurs we will post it on here, however I really don't understand why a more proactive stance on vetting the candidates cannot be done. It seems you cannot just trust people's word anymore.
Also Kandy Jones you are such a hypocrite defending someone because someone makes an allegation yet you and your mates have no problems spreading innuendo, hearsay and bile when it suits you. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. or even "let those without sin cast the 1st stone" and from what I hear certain people campaigning in Newington are doing just that, Maybe you should ask your mate why he is doing it "a smear campaign before truth" so funny
seems Dan you and your mates have no hesitation in spreading rumours. Pray where is your truth of why I live in Southampton now and just what is it I'm supposed to have done to FORS? Your mate keithy says everyone is innocent until proven guilty but one word from you and oops.
Any body get the feeling that 'Manston'brings out the Greedy and the Vam-pots.The Greedy Vam-pots all want to save? the multi million pound loss making former Manston Airport.All in the name of Money and political seats(for them selfs and their mates)One wonders who else has kept their cards close to their chest,oh I mean chests as there are a few more Truths which will come out by the end of the 'Greedy Manston plot'.
ReplyDeleteThe Democratic Independent Group(DIG)wasn't democratically voted in buy any body.Seems their digging their own hole and not independently.
ReplyDeleteWell well well,seen nothing on this from Sir Roger Gale.not a peep.
ReplyDeleteChangeable names Mr Collins,Mr Conner ring a bell anyone?
ReplyDeleteKonnors cluster of medals would nake him one if Britain's highest ever decorated soldiers. Almist everything except the VC.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he clarifies this.
Very stupid of him and Ukip to stand as councillor if it's not true.
The Royal British Legion appears to have been making inquiry concerning the Ramsgate Branch. I was told that this was at a time someone was proposing to create a Northwood Branch RBL. About 2013/2014.
ReplyDeleteThe Chair of Ramsgate RBL appears to have resigned during RBL inquiries.
Seems to me that since the 'Manston'story there have been people resigning left right and centre.Every bidder with TDC becomes secret and the save Manston groups along with sir Roger Gale find this normal practice. These people have a new meaning to finding Truths and that is: There's a new cleaning powder on the market it's called fug spelt F.U.G and it says on the packet 'If Airel can't clean it and Daz can't clean it then FUG it!'This is THEIR way to clean up any ifs or buts on their fight for flight/Property deals.
DeleteRegards Humpty Dumpty A,B,C!
The key question here is whether UKIP required production of the red book Army Service Record. Cllr Wells and Roger Gale MP were aware of past inquiries about forged Army Record books in Thanet. Awarding other ranks military cross started only in 1993 and another of his claimed medals was introduced 1995. What age is the man ?
ReplyDeleteHe's old enough to know better,the 'Manston'curse will DIG up the dirty ones!
DeleteAnd no word from Pritchard, who was Konnor's personal assistant and is now, himself, standing as a DIG candidate in the forthcoming election. It would be good to know when Pritchard first knew of the questions about Konnor's background.
ReplyDeleteStrange that Pritchard Konnor's PA is not available for comments.Konner Okays Pritchard to stand for the forthcoming election but doesn't stand up for hes mate.
DeleteYes it would be nice to known when Pritchard frist knew,but that would be like asking a loto winner how he knew he'd won before the drawn numbers,Pritchard after all this time could say anything now,I wonder what he comes up with and who backs him up?
DeleteInteresting too Farage has popped up for a Ukip meeting for the Newington election...but more councillors than public.
ReplyDeleteAnd Shonk unwilling to support candidate Smithson.
The end of Ukip.
What that "fun loving Mr Smithson with his 6 cans everynight. Well he won't have kidney problems assuming he remembers where he lives?
DeleteWhat's going on in Thanet? ANYONE!
DeleteSmithson a boozer? Thank goodness slime like 22:34 have told us
DeleteChangeable names indeed - check out his addresses and CCJs registered against him with various versions of Konnor, Kevin, Kevan, Keith etc. Dodgy.....what is his actual name, anyone know?!
ReplyDeleteIt must be the name he put on the official Government claim form or he would of committed fraud,but don't take my word for it,Hehe.
DeleteYea maybe it's BOND James,Jimmy,Jock,Brook Bond,007/8/9 license to trick and tell porky pies.
DeleteKandy Jones is certainly a hypocrite. She had no problem accusing you on FORS FB page along with that idiot,John Davis I thought she didn't want to have anything to do with Councillors or was it just Labour Councillors. Wasn't it £29k you got paid by them to infiltrate all the groups? She had no problem spreading the rumor on social media without any proof.
ReplyDeleteI'm the John Davis that you are calling an idiot. I served 33 years in the British Army an retired in November 2011.Councillor Collins claim to having served for 19 years in the parachute regiment and being awarded the gallantry medals is completely false. If you want to PM me feel free.
DeleteIt maybe there are more than one John Davis living in Ramsgate. Which one are you?
DeleteWhy does Davis think Collins is fake
DeleteBarry I've been having a bit of a back and forth with a supporter of councillor Collins on the walter mitty hunters Facebook page an put 2 & 2 together.
DeleteThen you aren't the same John Davis to which the anon refers.
DeleteIt does seem somewhat hypocritical of the Collins supporters to take on trust that he is who he says he is when they would be like a rabid pack of wolves if it had been any other anti Manston supporter
Barry I sincerely apologize for my mistake. .but you can see how I was confused. I stand by my claim that councillor Collins has never been a RSM in the Parachute Regiment or has been awarded the decorations he claims. Regards John
DeleteChris Wells knew the history of false army records in Thanet. He knew to check so how come Collins got a selection for UKIP ?
DeleteJohn Davis you are not the person I'm referring to. The John Davis I mentioned above is an a***hole. He is Chair of the Friends of Ramsgate Seafront constituted group. He has the morals of an alleycat along with Kandy Jones.Last year they spread malicious rumors about Barry James on Facebook which are not true along with several others, mainly Pro airport supporters.
DeleteUkip are a mess with the councillor in court for threats at xmas and now a faje sergeant major. Wells and his crew are too stupid to run anything. How can we get rid?
DeleteMore to the point who's in charge of checking?
DeleteAnon 19:56 Konnor Collins isn't a kipper. You need to read the local media before you comment
DeleteKonnor was selected and voted in as a kipper 22:07 and switched parties as the kippers weren't carrying out the kipper manifesto.
DeleteBoth he and the kippers have explaining to do over the medals. And kippers who aren't even from thanet
UKIP members with specific knowledge of the history include Stu Piper (through his prior chaplaincy duties in which he was excellent) and Martyn Heale and Chris Wells through prior Thanet tory activity.
DeleteYes Piper is a priest who's found being a councilor a job too far...
DeleteI thought it was a legal requirement that anyone standing for election gave their real name on the nomination form.
ReplyDeleteYes you thought right it is a required by Law not not give FALSE information.
DeleteThe same gos for buying the SHP/Manston land by way of CPO/DPO not to tell lies ie:say you want a cargo hub and some holiday/business flights,(after thought by Freudmann)on behalf of RiverOak but the big money making rip off real plan to rob the people is to build on the land with all the help in the political world and some not in the know = amongst other crimes which will be looked into CONSPIRACY TO FRAUD! Hnmpty Dumpty the mystery investor along with Annex Aviation with services from sir Roger Gale in place to by deception own the land for maximum building profit,after giving the airport a GO.If done correctly in would of been a done deal! Simple Trick.
Tdc and Infratil removing the monitors and faking the fines would be considered fraud too. Even with Gloag. Who did that at Tdc?
DeleteI don't no,there was three inspectors there,why three I have no idear.
DeleteWho were the 3 inspectors
Delete'Environmental inspectors' on the books of the owners of the the Airport.David Smith CBE KCC Director of Economic Development should have access to the information about these people as it was Mr Smith CBE KCC who told me.
DeleteEnvironment inspectors employed by Infratil is different from those employed by TDC.
DeleteDavid Smith seems to have been replaced by Barbara Cooper.
Really,when was that?After meeting Mr Smith CBE KCC in early 2014 and being told THINGS he should not of told me I fould myself blacklisted by Mr Smith cbe and wondering if I'd actually meet the real Mr Smith CBE KCC so I went to the KCC building to make enquiries on Smith on the Friday before Cllr Heart resigned and made a fuss and got nowhere to my enquiry so I told the ladys on the front desk I would return Monday,I returned Monday (Cllr Heart quits) and told to leave by security and David Smith didn't want to talk to me,I wonder why!
DeleteMaybe you're a weirdo with nothing to say
DeleteHow about I'm the one who met Roger Gale in hes office and offered to buy the Airport and then Gale gave me David Smith CBE KCC telephone number.Gale also passed my telephone onto hes mate Tony Freudmann(Annex Aviation).Within ten minutes of me leaving Gales office Freudmann rang me and later that day I met Freudmann in a pub in Dulwich village (South London),I gave Freudmann a photo copy of a one million euro bearer bond,it was at that point Freudmann began to dribble into the drink I got him!.The next time I met Freudmann it was in Rye(Sussex) this time with Daren Soardes who had rushed back from Geneva to talk Business about buying Manston Airport and what I could expect to profit from the deal.Freudmann,Soardes and myself agreed on a 50/50 deal IE Annex Aviation 50% ME 50%.I asked for a outlined contract.The next time I met Freudmann it was with Soardes and this time Sayeev Joshi.Well after some citchat and again told what wonderful work sir Roger Gale was doing for US(at this stage it was well and truly US) to make Ann Gloag sell up,by way of making her life a misery and making sure Ann Gloag doesn't get recommend on her charitable work.So it was Joshi who pulled out the contracts and handed them to Freudmann,Freudmann gave me one,Soardes one returned one to Joshi and kept one for himself.Any way a few more meetings one which included Alan Marsh(VP Annex Aviation)who ashored me of other Goverment help.By this time it was clear to Me that Freudmann and Co were with the help of sir Roger Gale plotting to take the Manston airport land by way of deception.All the time this was going on I had a handful of telephone conversations with David Smith KCC,Me calling him and him calling me.I rang David Smith KCC one day for a meeting face to face and Mr Smith and myself met.We had other telephone conversations after that meeting then once he was alerted to my TRUE intentions kept a very low profile.So Anon 17:55 I've plenty to say!and Prof to back up what I Say. Humpty Dumpty.
DeleteOr Maybe I'm a weirdo who tells lies about these poeple to anyone in the public domain,So why doesn't any body sue Me? That's a question for you Anon 17:55 or anybody else wanting to find out the Truth on these poeple Myself included.
DeleteI have replied to you in some detail Anon 17:55 but the admin of this site may have chosen not to publish for legal resons,if so then you'll have to wait until the legal case is over then read my replies,Who ever you are!
DeleteSo 21:50/Humpty you were buying the airport you say and provide proveable detail. So tell us your name and a scan of your bond and why you're not buying it
DeleteWho do I send the scan of the bonds to 'US'? Why I'm not buying it;As explained on Anon 20:12 in plain English,Freudmann and co are by way of deception trying to own the site for the long term project of building all over the site once Aviation business has been run into the ground,with Gale among other techniques putting the do what We want or else on by way of COERCION.
DeleteI'd suggest you pass your info to Manston Pickle. They should be interested in publishing your account of how Freudmann got involved and Gale's role.
DeleteI spoke to Margate police in May 2014 gave paperwork and photocopys,and UKIP members and also Rob Simth BBC and local newspaper reporters,and other local people face to face and by email,but all these people decided that its best to sweep this info under the rug.why?
DeletePublish and be damned.
DeleteIt's going to be!Alls in hand slowly but surely.
DeleteWhen the whole SHP/Manston mystery of failed buyouts by mystery bidders 'Annex Aviation' and investor in 2014 then Riveroak with Freudmann again,then CPO failure and DPO failure which is coming! I for one would like to know what Dan Light knew about Freudmann before and after Freudmanns outing of nicking money of clients and what he thinks about Gales role from day one.I would think Five O would like a chat as well,under caution with his Lawyer present;somewhere in the long list of poeole which would need to be spoken to on the 'Manston' mystery!
ReplyDelete3 inspectors employed how many TDC employed and how many Infratil employed would be a good question.What is David Smiths role now at KCC if any?
DeleteSproates Berry and Button were the 3 Tdc inspectors for pollution and monitoring. ...
DeleteHow do you know that? who knew there were three inspectors?why three?If you would be so kind.
Delete21:41 because they're listed as the pollution and monitor experts at TDC - and still are...
DeleteThere may be more although Brian White isn't there any more..
Sproates etc couldn't have been reporting on the pollution because Infratil and TDC removed the monitors...
DeleteThax, then why have Sproates ECT not been sacked and interviewed?
DeleteWas/is Collins a member of the British Army Assn ? Does Humpty Dumpty know what a huge question that is ?
ReplyDeleteNo,Richard I have no idear about Collins British Army Assn membership.No, Richard why would that be a huge question in your opinion Please.
DeleteSenior medals and an MBE is rather unusual too. Is he a fantasist or a huge hero
DeleteThe British Army Assn was founded at Ramsgate RBL 1988 by founding Chair .."Jock"........ of North Thanet tories with assistance from his fellow Kent Adventure Training Corps private cadet group leader ..."Thanet"...... At a time there was crime complaint about false Army records re Thanet Branch REME Assn chaired by .."Jock"..... of north thanet tories with branch social secretary "Thanet" his fellow Kent Adventure Training Corps leader.
DeleteIn fact Roger Gale in October 2015 elected not to answer questions about this.
Gale was a supporter of Kent Adventure Training Corps.
Barry probably would not publish more than this
Strange questions to ask humpty Dumpty who do you think he is? And what information do you think he could know?
DeleteOk thax Richard I understand where your coming from now.You finished with'Barry proberly would not publish more than this' Then there is a big space,no full stop Just ends.Why? Or is that a question for Barry to answer? I belive(hand on heart) that Barry is a Truth searcher,Just a little confused! Humpty
DeleteA:A huge Hero
DeleteB:A huge Fantasist
C:A close friend of GALE
I'LL have £50 quid on B/C on a first/second placing bet.
3 days before the Newington election and no manifesto from the candidates. What would be voting on and what would they the be doing
ReplyDeleteYou need to go onto Social Media
DeleteAgain my sincerest apologises. John.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need to meet up with the other and teach him some lessons of probity
DeleteWith every thing which is going on round here you should check to make sure someone isn't using your name and military service records in any way! Fare Well.
DeleteInteresting now the Dreamland procurement scandal on BBC news last night
ReplyDeleteOnly the beginning of scandals coming to the area and the whole 'Manston' Mysteries will be seen,about time A.
ReplyDeleteAm a bit amused that the Councillor in question still has the affront to vote in a Newington Election yesterday 21/01/16. Should be a huge clear out of TDC as soon as poss, Tired of these facts just disappearing into the Ether until all but a few have forgotten?
ReplyDeleteTalk about front! Tony Freudmann Annex Aviation who's fronting RiverOak the property people to bring back to life a cargo hub? Fronted by sir Roger Gale without sir Roger Gale MP there would never ever had been any CPO,DCO atempts! These people are all Backward Fronts,if you get my drift. This Trick isn't going to disappear into the Ether becouse it's a jig saw puzzle and the players all fit together so the big picture is seen,A group of people plotting by deception to take by any MEANS land which is worth many hundreds of millions of pound notes;People have killed for far,far less.
DeleteA fairly dull Newington election result other than a rejection of ukip. Was it really only 21% turnout? About half of previous elections?
ReplyDeleteThis is the official government stance apparently: "The Government does not believe that the UK requires an equivalent of the USA’s Stolen Valor Act.
ReplyDeleteThe Stolen Valor Act 2013 makes it a federal crime to fraudulently claim to be a recipient of certain military decorations or medals in order to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit.
Under UK law the making, or attempting to make a financial gain by fraudulently wearing uniforms or medals, or by pretending to be or have been in the Armed Forces is already a criminal offence of fraud under the Fraud Act 2006, as is the pretence of being awarded an official medal. The offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment. It is also an offence under that Act (carrying up to five years’ imprisonment) for a person to possess or have under his control any article for use in the course of, or in connection with any fraud.
It is also an offence against The Uniforms Act 1894 for any person not serving in the Armed Forces to wear the uniform of any of the Armed Forces under such circumstances as to be likely to bring contempt upon that uniform.
However, it is not automatically against civil law to wear a veterans badge or decorations or medals which have not been earned and there are no plans to make it an offence. There are many instances where relatives openly wear the medals earned by deceased relatives as a mark of respect, albeit on the right breast and we would not wish to discourage this practice.
Ministry of Defence"
Being a councillor is a paid position. If you included bogus claims about your military background when canvassing for votes, it could be construed that you were doing it for financial gain.
Delete[100%]Thats see what happens.
DeleteIf Mr Collins turns out to be a fraudster then he should be sacked,fined and made to do comuonty service!at the very least after a full confession and anything else he knows about anything by way of TICs. HD
ReplyDeleteWas Konnor actually in the army or is everything completely made up?
ReplyDeleteNow according to the Walter's he doesn't appear in the RSM book and they are all registered there. So did he serve in any armed forces or did he collect his knowledge via the TV?
DeleteI couldn't tell you that question should be for the police to investigate with all that's going down in Thanet should be plenty of over time coming Thanets police forces way,more local Tax payers money all under the Manston Curse! Please sit quite in a room and recall all the fuss in the TV/press has happened since Manston stopped.I bet yea there's more to come,bewere of the sleeping dog and this one is the Hound of the Baskvalls.
