FINALLY habitual Grand service charge DEBTORS Peter & Miriam Cobrin, confidence tricksters who cost THOUSANDS in service charge for their own enrichment (money that could have been spent on the building) have FINALLY left the Chilham Suite at The Grand. THIS IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE

There are no trans kids. No child is 'born in the wrong body'. There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.

Labour government is gaslighting parents who make huge sacrifices to give their kids the best education. It's pure vindictiveness.

Update, the useless idiot is back, having a go at developers in town. A great first impression for people looking at our wonderful town. Perhaps Bryan should be made to work for his benefits, rather than cleaning the system whilst putting the boot in?

Does anyone know what's happened to that weird little blog "Shepwayvox"? Not withstanding how pointless and boring it's gotten, by it's own low standards, it's been silent for near 2 months. Has its intemperate "journalism" finally ended?

@john_samwise All the endless stories written about the Grand, where co-authored by the "pound -shop-Michael-Stainer", Peter Cobrin and Shepwayvox founder Bryan Rylands. Rylands himself was an ex Grand staff member, sacked for theft. Most of their un-spellchecked rubbish was made up. Standard.
