Ask Mary Portas! <br /><br />I live in Westbrook, which is a wonderful place... however I visit pretty much every corner of Thanet on a regular basis (including the villages to the west which most people ignore). Indeed, today I cycled around most of the Thanet coastline, as well as through Garlinge, Acol, Minster & Monkton (& Stourmouth, Ash, Sandwich & Richborough). So I probably see more of Thanet overall than most people.

Aggression I cannot say I have encountered much and it was far worse in SE London. That said I guess it depends to a great extent which part of Thanet ones spends most time in.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927801279761727020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491979293469345296.post-29824946288050632702013-09-05T20:25:14.382+01:002013-09-05T20:25:14.382+01:00There's more to races than black and white... ...There's more to races than black and white... Ask most of the people of East European origin around here whether or not they've encountered racism. <br /><br />Anyway, presumably you both agree with my "aggressive" & "negative" comments, as you only mentioned the "racist" part.

Like you I lived in South East London before returning to Thanet in the nineties. In that area there was plenty of racism and I was working on the Well Hall Road when Steven Lawrence was murdered, an incident that prompted a whole host of further racist issues.<br /><br />In Thanet I have encountered no racism at all. The few people of ethnic origins one meets around the place seem well integrated and many are well respected. Not sure what racism has to do with this thread either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927801279761727020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491979293469345296.post-12182916376625520882013-09-05T19:02:39.364+01:002013-09-05T19:02:39.364+01:00no idea peter I don't encounter any in my norm...no idea peter I don't encounter any in my normal daily life I just wondered why you added it to your statementGod help ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726756701964575422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491979293469345296.post-32595240417919630562013-09-05T18:47:06.749+01:002013-09-05T18:47:06.749+01:00Yes.
