Letter: Flaws in Kendal, dreams in Thanet
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Graham Ingham's article, draws attention, reasonably enough, to the problems that the Isle of Thanet has faced in the past, but completely misses the point that this is an area with unique opportunities to turn dreams of prosperity into reality in the foreseeable future.
His disparaging view of the quality of Thanet's labour force is not matched by our own experience. We are a hi-tech engineering company and have never had difficulty in finding employees of a high standard of skill, enthusiasm, and loyalty. Provided Thanet can retain its identity and maintain its will, and provided that the present strategic plans can be implemented, it will soon look very different - when it will be my pleasure to invite Mr Ingham to come back here and reconsider his comments.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
