Search for the heroe inside....
I heard on the radio yesterday afternoon that there were some heroes in our midst. Two guys who were drinking by the river in Tonbridge (presumably Weatherspoons, although that wasn't mentioned) were summoned to help when an elderly lady had slipped into the river nearby. Luckily they had their wits about them and went to help out. One, who said he was a member of Tonbridge canoe club, dived into the river while the other stayed on the bank to help pull the lady out the river up the steep bank. I gather all this was somewhere near the big bridge although I'm not quite sure. It's amazing what some of us will do when the need arises. One minute the two men are sitting enjoying a quiet pint in the Spring sunshine, the next they are risking their own lives to save an old lady from drowning and in the process become local, and probably national, heroes; and well deserved too. Great heart warming story....

was in the courier last friday after they put out an appeal the week before!
How can you 'slip' into the river around there? They've probably condemned the old bid to an extra 10 miserable lonely years of sitting in her own mess.
Here's a real hero !
Filmmaker Bill Maloney was thrown out of the Leader’s Debate Question Time Special Audience
Angry documentary filmmaker Bill Maloney was thrown out of the Leader’s Debate Question Time Special Audience for speaking about Institutional child abuse, the restraining techniques used in YOIs and government paedophile rings.
Just moments before Question Time went live David Dimbleby introduced the panel asking each of them what they would be doing the next day. Michael Gove (Shadow Secretary of State for Children Schools and Families) said it was his wife’s birthday and Dimbleby asked if he had bought her a present to which he replied, “I actually bought her four presents”. Asked what the presents were Gove replied “A linen suit, a designer hand bag and two other presents that I’m not prepared to divulge”. Maloney shouted “Did we pay for them Mr Gove?” which raised a laugh from the panel and audience. Dimbleby concluded with Nigel Farage MEP of UKIP who made a sanctimonious remark to which Maloney shouted, “I don’t know why you’re so flippant, you’re guilty of stealing expenses the same as all the rest”. Dimbleby shook his finger and shouted at Maloney “If you are going to behave like this when we go on air I will have to tell you to leave.”
Maloney responded by shouting “If you want me to leave David tell me to leave. Don’t talk to me like I’m a piece of shit! You’ve got an angry electorate here and you select only five questions from 150? This is a biased audience which does not represent the lower classes.”
“I'm a documentary filmmaker and I investigate Institutional child abuse; the restraining techniques that are killing lower working class kids in Young Offenders Institutions; and paedophile rings in government that are fucking our kids! You don’t like talking about the children do you David?”
Security was then called. As he was led out Maloney turned to the panel shouting, “I’m here about the children, not about the economy. I've got more bollocks than all of you! Shame on you!" Maloney’s wife continued by shouting "Everyone in this audience should google Hollie Greig G.R.E.I.G and realise that the government does nothing!"
The security guards didn't lay a finger on Maloney as he was led out by the Producer - in fact the security guards looked like they wanted to pat him on the back!
Maloney submitted two questions to the show which were not selected, one on the issue of crime:
# Considering the government has given £840 billion to bail out the banks, how much have they spent on getting 3.5 million children out of poverty? Give the £3.4 billion promised to get children out of poverty which ‘breeds’ crime.
The second was on the issue of institutional child abuse:
# Considering it cost Australian taxpayers 200 million dollars for the Popes visit there in 2008, how much is the government spending on the Pope’s visit to the UK? And should we allow the Pope, whose Vatican City has the lowest age of sexual consent in Europe of only 12 years, into the country at all?
All Maloney wanted was his questions answered, as no politicians are willing to discuss these issues.

why do you nutters keep hijacking this forum by bleating on about hollie bloody greig - this is a website for and about tonbridge - go and spread your propaganda and conspiracy theories somewhere else!
i've just read a story about hollie greig and to be honest it looks like the mum wants compensation from it - I'm actually doubting it ever happened
Its not just TonbridgeBlog that gets this stuff dumped on it. Bignews Margate too.
Anyone know who the old lady was or was that in the Courier as well? I'm obviously behind on this one....
