Labour HOLD Manor House

[steveL]

if Hart get the gypsy site

Hart will not get the site. Once the Manor Election is out the way  it will be quietly  dumped in a ward that returns the  fewest Labour councillors.
The current decision was made  just so the drunken Engineer  could boast on his leaflets he kept it out of Manor.

It's not often mentioned but when the original list was produced, Labour tried bloody hard to get Fens and Rossmere added to the list (PHF) and Seaton (2 Independents and 1 PHF). When poor George fell asleep, they even sneaked in Briarfields (Tory)

There's also talk of a planning application mysteriously appearing from nowhere which suddenly excluded a site in Burbank and of green spaces in Manor suddenly being awarded 'Village Green' status.

No one can claim that local politics in Hartlepool isn't entertaining.

I actually was very surprised at how lightly Beck and Fisher got off in tonight's' meeting. In fact, it was very bizarre to see Keith Fisher basically regarded as some sort of hero figure.

He plays to the crowd but sings off-key and the tune is still the internationale

[beanzontoast]

Fisher plays to the crowd alright but the tune is Keep The RED flag flying here, can a leopard change his spots.

I willl rephrase that comment, i did not suggest the Lilleys not attend said meeting, i suggested it would have been better for PHF not to have been members at all

[/i]

Not to be members of the committee at all ?................. Is that the UKip position on any committee that may have Contentious Issues to deal with ?

We saw SAB & Beck Abandon the MRA Ship double quick, but it would appear from your Comment that you wouldn`t even Board the Ship in the first place, i wonder how UKip would attempt to oppose "The Mob" if not by joining any committees.

Morning Fred,
Regarding your post (176 on the 14th)


Can I just say that the experience you encountered yesterday of utter complacency and total unawareness as to what is going on in the 'Manor' - the reason for the by-election in fact, is not unique.
I met a similar situation when leafleting last week.
I even heard from one resident "Oh, is there a by-election then?  When I explained the background, and how they were all having the p**s taken out of them by the Labour Mafia it was met by a shrug of the shoulders - scary?

Still, rampant apathy and political ignorance is just how the Labour Party / Hartlepool Mail axis wants this town to remain.

Morning KD

I experienced several similar "I Don`t Believe It" moments when dropping leaflets over the last week or so...............It almost destroys my faith in the Political system.

Manor ward, one of the most deprived in Europe.

It's a good job the socialist labour canvassing team didn't park an expensive foreign car with a private number plate on the estate to remind people who are struggling to make ends meet what they're voting to sustain.

[steveL]

ohhhh....and you never took a picture 

[Noseyp]

It was something that only occurred to me after I was well past.

I've got no problem with people having nice things, but there are times and places for flashing your private plate.

A battle of wits with the Labour group would be unfair.

[steveL]

yes, I think empathy (or the lack of it) is of some relevance to the present state of affairs

[Caracas]

Sadly I think Barclay will get in because of the whole 'generations of voting Labour' that goes on, also they have the most visible campaign.  Barclay is merely the sozzled puppet to front the vote.

Barclay is merely the sozzled puppet to front the vote.

If his letters to the mail are anything to go by sozzled he is.....

As i've posted on the Hartlepool Snail Website, none of the Candidates have bothered to knock on my door, however, i went out for an hour last night at 9pm and when i returned the letter box was empty.

When i got up for work this morning (7am), i found a leaflet from the Labour Candidate urging me to vote for him. Is he really so desperate to avoid coming into contact with anyone who might question him that he has to deliver his campaign material under cover of darkness?
