Kent Trading Standards asks for help to bust "Scam" mailings
Around 2 million adults in the United Kingdom have responded to a scam mailing in the last year, around half of those scammed have lost more than £50 in total, others have lost more than £5,000. Many of these people receive further contact from the criminals being then asked for even more money and or for personal information. Over £3 billion is lost to scammers each year and it is of growing concern.

Canadian Armed Forces Day
In effect, the day at Canada House was a reception to celebrate their Canadian Armed Forces Day. It was really interesting to meet so many people from around the world with an extraordinarily hospitable welcome from the Canadian staff.

New Folkestone Mayor Journal Launched
In May 2010, Liberal Democrat Morehall ward Councillor Tom McNeice was elected as the Mayor of Folkestone. To record the year and the hundreds of engagements during that time, Tom is keeping a journal as a record of some of the events, meetings and people that he has seen as part of his time of Mayor, and the good things happening across Folkestone and Shepway.

Guides Campfire
The Ampitheatre on the Lower Leas, Folkestone, was the perfect venue for the Girl Guide Association to celebrate 100 years of Girl Guiding. Campfire songs change very little over the years and we enjoyed joining in with the many songs that were led by the Guides and leaders.

Pilgrims Hospice Coffee Morning
The Mayor was warmly welcomed by the people who have been fundraising for The Pilgrims Hospice for longer than the building has existed. For 5 years they raised money for a dream which didn't even have a planned venue. Now, 30 years later they continue to raise funds to maintain the high level of care that the patients deserve. The Mayoress couldn't resist buying a Kentish Apple Cake and some home made marmalade.

Britain’s nuclear deterrent depends on Trump. It’s time to change that
If the answer to “Is our nuclear deterrent working?” depends on what Donald Trump had for breakfast, then the answer is no, it’s not. And our deterrent is not truly independent.
