Today, Friday, August 15, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day). This day commemorates the end of the Second World War with Japan's formal surrender to the Allied forces in 1945.

Margate Mayor Katie Pope laid a wreath in memory of all the lost souls from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb attacks along with those who served and sacrificed and two minutes silence were observed at midday.

Illegal to Swear in Thanet

Free Speech Union to pursue legal action against Thanet council over latest Public Spaces Protection Order

Peer and Lord Toby Young and the Free Speech Union is in Margate this morning (August 12) to announce legal action against Thanet council over its latest alcohol and antisocial behaviour Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Westgate.

The renewed PSPO was initially approved by Thanet council in July last year but rescinded just weeks later following a threat of costly legal action by the Free Speech Union, largely based around restrictions on the use of ‘foul’ language.

Following amendments it was again approved last month but the FSU says that although improved, the order “would still have a chilling effect on free speech in the borough (and) is still unlawful.”
