Why does this remind me of the case of the counter claims to the misconduct firing of another mayor ?
What are they putting in the beer at the tavern ?
Did he go before he was 'pushe, will he let a few cats out of the bag ?
Its the SCAB Cabal climbing on the 'victim' bandwagon. Do not be fooled by this latest outbreak of in-fighting among the local comrades. Father Jack has been selected as the patsy because he is out anyway so they have filled him full of drink and managed to get him vertical long enough to light the fuse. You can be sure they care nothing about anti-Semitism or racism and it is the homophobia, disability discrimination angle they are going to play for all its worth. Mammy Belcher and The SCABs are telling all and sundry that is what did for them.

Mammy B has already set the disability ball rolling so no surprise the homophobic and discrimination ball has been set rolling by the little ol wine drinker.......Will they involve Labour North, because there is no chance of HCLP investigating Barclays complaints.
And just who leads the local Labour Party?
The word on the grapevine is Barclay may well try to defend the seat as an independent against the official Labour candidate picked by the CLP. The SCABAL are hoping Barclay can win the seat and then prop up their positions of power within the chamber.
There is however one significant flaw in their plan. Nobody in Manor House voted to be represented by a drunk from Leyburn Street. They voted blindly for the Labour Party candidate.
They'll do the same again and Alan Barclay will once again be left to rely on his squaddies pension to pickle his liver.
Go on Alan, stand as a Indy. If you get 200 votes I'll buy you a 24 pack of Tennants super strength.

Maybe he should contact the Catholic church because, as Father Jack said, ''That would be an ecumenical matter''. :)

She claims severe mobility issues but when the (convenient) fire struck her son's Greasy Spoon she was up in a trice helping to clean up and seemed to have no problems mopping floors and shifting furniture. Strange that.
If I were a Belcher I would ditch the
physical disability angle and run with
cognitive impairment. It is obvious they are all as thick as merde de cochon.
He's making all the noises of a sinking ship, the creaking and groaning as it breaks up. A last defiant attempt to pump out the inrushing waters of reality.
It's over, he only got as far as he did by being a compliant Party member, a fetcher and carrier for the clique. Now he's cut himself adrift, he'll find he's a nobody again.
The Party was his insurance policy, he cancelled the policy.
As for being an 'independent', this could be a bridge too far for someone whose political 'career' was based strongly on being 'dependent' on backing his masters voice to survive.

hahahahaha
Their extended party is over. The bits are dropping off.
They are the independents best recruiting sergeant.
After reading the article in todays Hartlepool Fail, I have come to the conclusion Barclay has added another substance abuse to his list.......
Surely he has been sniffing glue if he truly believes CAB is the best council leader for a generation!!!!!!
Great to see tin tin with the strange eyes has jumped in with his "I was threatened by a labour member and nobody is doing anything about it" script. If he was actually bothered/it actually happened then he would have been badgering Labour North daily.
Always the victim!

I think he has already found those cans.
Having read these articles, why didn't he bring it up earlier, before he was de-selected?
According to the article in the Mail, Barclay and Mammy B are standing in their current Wards as candidates for the Socialist Labour Party - new one on me. Or have they just made it up to confuse the electorate ?
https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/politics/hartlepool-borough-council-2019-election-candidate-list-revealed-1-9690176
Certainly looks confusing to me - also a stack of unknown names. Wonder how many (and who) might be paper votes/vote splitters?

Does that not mean an automatic expulsion from the Labour Party?
I think they have resigned from the labour party

Looking across Social Media, Barclay is not getting why you would call support.
Mammy Belcher making a similar statement this morning.
Cannot wait to hear what her "complaints" are that have not been investigated.
She is also claiming that she is leaving labour because they have done nothing about complaints made by somebody she cares about dearly........
Oh to be a fly on the wall when the great and the good of the Acker-Bilk clan got together for a "think tank" to concoct this strategy.
Finally, she has converted to the socialist labour party, i wager she cannot spell the word socialist, never mind explain the definition of socialism.

The fly would have had the highest IQ in the room.
When these bovine Titans of local politics get together let's just hope they don't have a think tank, as there'd probably be a mass drowning.
They're squealing like piglets in the lorry approaching the Tasty Trotters Bacon Factory as the end of their nodding dog political 'career' approaches the buffers. They rose without trace and will sink without trace despite scrambling for a place in the lifeboat.
The best tactic would be to get the Khan's involved in the 'Racism' complaint.
One 'good' thing which has come out of the latest shenanigans is it has proven categorically what many on this forum have said for several years. That being, there are clear elements within the ranks of the Labour controlled HBC who in no way at all care about the Labour Party.
For years we've known certain people were only in it for what they can get. In Scab's case, thousand of pounds worth of allowances, in Barclay's case, frequently p1$$ed.
For Mammy Belcher and Rudolph the ex-Mayor to absolutely lambaste the Labour Party now, crying homophobia, sexism, antisemitism and such like tells you everything.
Remember, Barclay's ramblings have made headlines at national level as the right wing press jump on the opportunity to continue to tie Corbyn and Labour to antisemitism.
Now Mammy Belcher is jumping on the bandwagon claiming God knows what, again attracting headlines at regional level and beyond.
It's crystal clear this little plot has other peoples finger prints all over it and was in no way cooked up by these two.
Mammy Belcher does well to put her slippers on the right feet in a morning. In no way has she penned the ""I feel the Labour Party that we were all proud of has lost its traditional value base and been infiltrated by people who do not share my values of respect and dignity towards others" line.
I wonder what Labour North make of elements within the local Labour Party deliberately hatching a plot which attracts damaging national headlines, in an attempt to cling onto power at local level.
Looks to me like we have current Labour councillors using ex-Labour councillors as pawns to damage future Labour councillors.
All of which damages the party they all profess to care about.
Crazy times as always.

She is better placed than many to know about 'infiltrators'.
Its a sad day when a mother has to turn on her son and reveal that he no longer
'share(s) my values of respect and dignity towards others'. It took some courage to condemn her son and partner. Well done Sandra I suspect you just got your last Mothers Day card from Stephen!
Who needs a card when you already got the new build bungalow?
Take a look on the BBC IPlayer for tonight's Look North. Hartlepool's 'finest' in the spotlight.
You wonder how such talentless inadequates could have such an extended period 'running' a town.
I suppose they have the advantage of legacy voters who think that not voting Labour means Hell and damnation and the four horsemen of the Apocalypse will appear, but even that's wearing thin after their stewardship.
Then there's having the advantage of a tickle belly local media that never questioned them or put them under any meaningful scrutiny, which is like allowing your three year old to take over steering your car while travelling at 150 mph down a crowded motorway.
Being unchallenged in power is always bad news.
I suspect if this town was a Tory stronghold they'd have adapted to suit. I get the feeling that they're just political chameleons along for the ride, the branding irrelevant.
