Having lived in this seemingly peaceful & quaint seaside town all my life it seems like a relaxing place to live. However, & obviously, there is another side to this story.
The Ramsgate tourist board pride itself on having a Royal Harbour. So. Who the **** wants to see it? Essentially it’s just a just a place where boats park. Occasionally, ferries go to Oostende & Dunkirk. Who’s going on these ferries when there only a 20 minute drive & a channel tunnel journey away from Calais where the Utopia of cheap **** & booze awaits. It’s the only town in the World who’s appearance is made more attractive by an off shore windfarm, which to be honest, in most places are an eyesore & essentially just lampposts with the Mercedes logo spinning from them.
Now the town centre itself. I feel the best way to describe it, is imagine an Olympic Village. No the inhabitants aren’t at the peak of physical fitness, instead there are lots of people wearing tracksuits, who can barely speak English. Most of them have also perfected the Manchester monkey walk with their Doberman’s on a leach made out of a chain link fence stolen from a car park of a furniture store warehouse.
It is such a bad place to live now, that when the cannabis farms in the town were destroyed by the Police, it must have left a gaping hole in our local economy so deep it is beyond ever recovering. You will often see market stalls set up in the middle of the town centre which makes it impossible to cut a wide berth when you see someone coming up to you & trying to sell you stolen second hand goods at a largely inflated price, of which they refer to as a ‘pwopper bargain mate’. With the amount of different stuff on sale, from beach towels to alarm clocks, it is literally a convention for ‘Jack’s of all trades. Masters of **** all’.
The only good thing about the town centre was Woolworths. It’s not there anymore. Infact the contributing factor to Woolworths going out of business was probably because the ***** of the town, which there are many, stole so much stuff they were running at a loss for the entire company nationwide.
The Newington Estate is a great example, of how the benefits system has failed the tax payers of Great Britain. It’s a good thing the Jeremy Kyle studio is in Manchester or they would just have people turning up from here all the time. I have frequently visited this estate & on a couple of occasions I’ve seen cars on fire in the street. I must say that not all people from here are ****, but the ones who are, are the worst type of ****. You know, the sort that never work or want to work, have children at 14, have their hair pulled back so much that a cheap alternative to Botox has been created, drop out of school relying on decent people to support their alcohol & drug problems. Yeah, that type of ****, who if you ask to go **** themselves, they may give it a try.
The night life isn’t that great either, although there are many different nightclubs & pubs with most of them having free entry. I will use only one example to make my point. The Sovereign night club. Most nights, at least two lads will have a fight or an argument outside, where the rest of the public (including myself) just watch on as a sick form of entertainment, might aswell though, inside the music is rubbish, the TV’s just show Sky Sports News on it’s ever boring loop & no one can afford the drinks. Then when your leaving the clubs & maybe fancy a thing to eat, you may get assaulted in a kebab shop like I was once. This **** said he slipped on the carpet & bumped into me ‘by accident’ when instead he punched me in the back of the head & pushed me into the glass display where my elbow was cut, although the punch was pretty weak & he is probably a ****** junkie.
This town used to be good, as was Margate, in being popular seaside towns for many tourists but most of the people that have moved from suburbs in London have turned it into an urban wasteland. I am actually surprised that the suicide rate for this town isn’t higher than that at Beachy Head as it’s so morbidly a depressing place to live now. I’m not denying that some parts of it are good, i.e. most of the westcliff is pleasant, usually clean parks, good views of the sea (although some days you can clearly see France) & the beach, but now it is the only place in the world where a tuxedo & a shell suit are the considered the same thing.
I am recommending immediate evacuation from here for the decent citizens, maybe Canterbury & maybe further beyond. Then maybe the 10,000 artillery shells it deserves to have levelled at it will commence. To some up how rubbish it is here, there’s a verse about it in ‘The Thanet Anthem’, search it in YouTube & it will give an indication as to what I’m going on about.
