Time for another Wyatt's revolt
15 Jan 2005
MORE than 450 years ago, when Wyatt's rebellion broke out in Kent, the government in Whitehall began to quake.
Roger Truelove's letter (Gazette, October 27) gives grounds for hope that history might repeat itself.
The Deputy Prime Minister is rumoured to support the Kent Science Park plan for a huge new commercial zone sprawling across the fields of Tunstall - five times the size of the present one - bringing traffic hell to our roads as streams of vehicles drag through the town to the site.
Maybe our present-day "bloody Wyatt" (seemingly more effective than his 16th century namesake) can stop this dreadful plan in its tracks.
