Keep trying ... :)
Obviously a very bitter and twisted soul....what more can I say? But I will ::)...why not...so, as some one who is certainly not yet fully 'up to speed' on all the political shenanigans over the years and is only just 'discovering' what a bunch of ntcus our local 'leaders' are, here I go! If I'm correct, then HB was an editor of the Hartlepool Mail (correct me if I'm wrong!) for a number of years. The Hartlepool Mail, as I understand it, gets a lot of revenue from HBC. HBC are, primarily, a Labour controlled Council, as they have been since I was a lad! Can anyone see any connections yet? HB is bound to slag off the only 'alternative media' in Hartlepool, as it criticises the Council! I believe he started to reveal his true colours here a few weeks ago (as Steely Dan), as he could not accept any reasoning. I don't know what more to add, as most folk here are well aware of him! As for him stating that the Post is 'the polar opposite to free speech', all I can say is that although people here have different views, some quite vociferous...we all tend to have a debate and put our points across..yeh, sometimes heated and perhaps occasionally insult one another...but that's FREE SPEECH. Obviously, even certain posters ;) keep on posting...respect, even if I don't agree with them! One more thing Harry, if I may...as a journalist and editor, you are obviously an educated man, who, I'm sure, was once respected in Hartlepool. Do you want, now, in your later years, to to be known as someone who supported, what is basically, a morally corrupt bunch of (so called) Labour Councillors who are dragging the good town of Hartlepool down into the depths of desperation! You could always 'turn it around' and possibly reveal what you know from the 'dark side'! Regards, Mr Bongo.
I reported Steely Dan as the mad cyclists many months ago.
His give away was some vile turn of phrases he uses against anybody that disagrees with him, which is just about everybody.
I take it he will never have the balls to try and do what he criticises others for, i.e. Stand as a politician.
Well HB, thank you for cementing my non Labour vote.
I fear he's rapidly becoming a different version of the much missed Lawrence as the town talk-about.
I gather we've also been slagged off recently by Ian Griffiths who is one of the guys behind the sugar-coated, press release and advert composite, Hartlepool Life.
Last week he went hysterical on HARTLEPOOL POLITICS after i had revealed his ID on here and called me and every other member on here a LIAR.
He is obsessed with finding liars then makes this statement which reveals himself as a LIAR !!
Soon after he lost that argument he started talking about my PENIS constantly so i reported him to FB and got him banned for 3 days :-*
Now he's going for Moore and Riddle and sounding even more hysterical, everyone on here knew who Steely Dan was 6 months ago.
I've been listening to the same insults for 20 years now so i know his tone of aggression, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
2 years ago he voted Green now its Labour, he should stand for council but hates everybody, where do you turn when that happens ?
Even the Labour MP elect won't talk to him, i'm told by a Labour councillor he has been told to avoid him.
Its a shame he can't harness his good points and make a good impression rather than be constantly angry.
Is this forum just a slanging match? I'm seeing it as such. There are obviously some very switched on people on here, it's a shame that you can't combine and channel this energy to work towards the good of the town instead of ripping each other to bits.
Seriously. I don't know that Griffiths guy fortunately but he does strike me as a bit of a hate filled idiot. Was speaking to the editor of the new paper, Dirk and he described this board as full of negativity . At first I thought he was just out to knock it because of competition but I'm starting to wonder if he was right.
The mail doesn't challenge anything, the new thing is clearly just to exploit the Ad revenue and line the pockets of some unemployable sad old men trying to reinvent themselves as journalists. This site has an opportunity to wake people up but all that is happening is that you are turning people off and turning into an echo chamber of negativity.
Don't loose this opportunity, it is slipping away from you
Maybe it's a sign of his spiralling decline, a howling dog in the rain which no house will allow in.
As for Steely Dan, the unlikely done well for himselfreturning son back to enlighten us spouting a cross between loyal party drone socialist ideals and a loads a money contractor complete with capitalist lifestyle and BMW. So bad it was good.
Somebody once said any publicity is good publicity - I'm sure that as a result of SD's post people will look at this Forum and make their own minds up - some will not revisit but some will stay and hopefully contribute.
When there are so many perceived problems with the way the council is operated, remember our perception is our reality, and the council does absolutely nothing to alter that perception, then when people visit this site for the first time it can come across as negativity plus, of course, anybody with differing views to the some of the Labour Zealots will be seen as negative.
I always try to present facts, to try to increase awareness of the shortcomings of our council, with the hope that those people who do read the posts on this forum may go away and think about it and maybe modify their behaviour and realise that it's not all negativity and their is culpability within the Lab/Tor council.
I can understand people's frustration at what is going on, but let's not take our eye off the ball otherwise we'll lose everything. The General Election saved us this time round, but the Constitution Committee is the one to watch because if they continue to amend the constitution to suit their ends we've had it.
Remember those famous lines from Animal Farm - All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Why because Harry Blackwood aka Steely Dan thinks that?
This site is one of the few places where you can raise an issue or agree/disagree with something without ( except in the most extreme or contentious cases) comments been disallowed. Where else can you do that? The minute somebody lines up to kick the clowncil the mail turns comments off.
Regarding negativity- don't confuse that with frustration and anger at what the clowncil are getting away with at the kremlin and just because somebody has been here years and continuously posts the same views it doesn't mean they can not/need not be challenged.= aka democracy.
I share the frustration but you guys don't seem to realise that you are fighting against people who will also share this frustration. Reading through the posts it is evident that there are some very switched on members on here.
It really does work against your aims when you are fighting each other, this energy and frustration needs to be put to good use. You have all done a brilliant job in exposing the failings of local council. However the good work you have done in doing this looses its credibility when it resorts to this.
I remember the Mail when Blackwood was editor. It was a very different voice than the cowardice that it is now or the apathetic Hartlepool life. You really are talking into an echo chamber and should look to work together with the people who are fighting against the same thing.
Hartlepool needs the Labour Party, but a clean Labour Party free of the toxic gang that exists.
The probablem they have locally is the same people getting selected and elected. Unfortunately they were elected. They can't just be removed from office. To do so goes against everything democracy is about. I suspect the reason these clowns keep getting selected is because they have so little to choose from. The barrel is empty. The intelligence of the local councillors is negligible. Some horrific decisions have been made. It is a shame that the folk on here can't do something about it, however the current approach isn't working and seems to be counter productive to the aim

Well thats one view point. Perhaps the town does but the reality is in Hartlepool there IS no labour party.
What needs to happen...and has been suggested many times..is for local, regional,national media/press to pick up on some of the valid concerns/issues/evidence to be found here and REPORT it.
For example BBC inside out or a similar program. You have a vile self serving cabal of morons running a decent town elected in to the roles because, as you eluded to, there are no decent candidates running for clowncil roles ( well other than a few independents ) and some people in certain wards would elect a dust bin if it was the labour candidate.I can't imagine any Labour supporter with any self respect who has labour values running to become part of this gang.
Maybe if real evidence was researched and presented- and clowncillers challenged about their activities then sufficient members would bottle it and resign giving others a chance.
There is a lot of evidence on here some of it serious probably worthy of the police attention
Someone who lied and claimed he was at funeral to take time off to attend a clowncil bash, then lied and said he was too sick to attend his own employment hearing - but at the same time was at a clwoncil meeting? Deception?
Someone who lived with above person and was at the clowncil bash- Aid and abet?
The mother of the above two receiving a brand new clowncil bungalow despite being provided with a flat and having her own house? Abuse of Authority
Someone who declared he was involved in MRA going as far as to be interviewed in Mail stating he was resigning then standing up and being videos claiming he had never been involved- after a clownciller who was involved was jailed for theft and deception. Making False statements?
Councillers with no other sources of income ( well declared) other than clowncil allowances living well beyond their means- surprised HMRC have to turned their attention to this.- Take a wild guess...
A person with 50 failed businesses behind him who a judge advised should not be running any businesses ( to put it politely) being put in charge of a multi million pound fund. - incompetence on the part of the clowncil
A woman who doesn't drive and doesn't live in Seaton Crewe deciding without any form of public consultation to effectively destroy the local economy and implement parking charges.
...and so on, there must be enough there to prime a decent investigative journalist or reporter.
You are obviously knowledgeable of, or are involved in, the press and media? Perhaps you know people who would pick this up, especially on the run up to an election?
Or is this being avoided by a large portion of the media to prevent
"Labour" the SCabinet loosing Hartlepool?
I just don't get the echo bit ??..... new people join the post and are totally in the dark about what goes on with the ruling coalition, so yes things do get repeated, an example of how little Hartlepool residents know about the councils shenanigans.
What you seem to have missed in your echo comment is the fact that the miscreants themselves conveniently forget what they have been up to, does anyone really think that Lying Ste gives a nano second of thought to his despicable and spurious claims of the mis-treatment of vulnerable adults, of course he doesn't, does Craney ever reflect on his disgusting comments to an elderly lady, pound to a the pinch of pig s**t that it never enters his dome or Raymondo's £2 million 'Quick Flip' nahhhhhhhhhh never gives it a thought, in fact he still projects it as a positive result.
All dark periods in history need a light shining on them on a regular basis, no different with the LabTor history.
As for the Steely Dan claim that he infiltrated this site and no one realised who he was........Harry Boy... bo**ox gadge.... you were as subtle as a bucket of glossed over s**t in your duplicity.....another one with more ego than brains, no wonder he is kissing the Cabals a**e's.
Harry gave himself away on literally his first post as Steely Dan, in which he made reference to someone being a low achiever. Anyone who has been on the receiving end of Blackwood's rants over the years (which is most people in Hartlepool and surrounding areas) will have recognised that as a 'Blackwoodism' straight away.
He regards his life's work as 'high achievement' and by comparison, anyone who has NOT been sacked by a local newspaper and/or has NOT got an average sized house outside Blackhall, must be a failure.
'Steely' joined the forum on November the 3rd, I myself finally got around to bothering to call him out over it 9 days later. But anyway, whatever, Blackwood will do what Blackwood will do.
To the broader point about The Hartlepool Post, let's not forget there have been at least 10 people elected to Hartlepool Borough Council who have been inspired/influenced/motivated, call it what you will, by this website and the forum.
I KNOW for a stone wall fact there are current LABOUR councillors who are in that chamber now, because of frustration and anger they became aware of via the Hartlepool Post. It's no secret there's a two pronged attack on the SCAB cabal. The obvious very public one from myself, Paul and others, and the 'sleeper cells' gradually infiltrating the Labour group for when the dominos finally do fall.
And the WILL fall Christopher, they always do.
I myself, along with others, sometimes get very frustrated with those that I'm referring to as the 'sleepers', but I understand some of their reasoning. There is a difference between those who ARE silent in the Labour group (because they're happy to do what they're told and pick up the money and have their phone contracts paid), and those who are opting to be silent until the right time.
As I say, BOTH of those types frustrate me, but one more so than the other.
Let's also not forget, this website, no matter what the official line from HBC might be, WAS responsible for helping to jail a corrupt Labour councillor.
I'd also point to the correlation in the decline of the Labour vote in Hartlepool, and the length of time this website has been in operation. The early hours of June 9th might, just MIGHT, be very interesting.
Well said Dave.
FULL CONVO MAD THE LOT OF THEM HARK CARL RICHARDSON
Ian McMillan Time to counter the smear sneer and jeer brigade with constructive discussion of how to do the best for Hartlepool. Sure there will be differences of opinion but these can be expressed with decent and dignity. Let us take over and establish a social media showing Hartlepool's ambition, creativity and civic pride!

I bet he'll claim the sudden reduction in dogshit on Cornflower too.
Yet a another reminder of why I am glad I do not do Facialbook..........
Carl Richardson honestly believes himself to be a political giant.
In reality most Officers see him as a joke (certainly at least 2 CHief Execs did). Harry must be after a look at Carl's famous little black books, were he has files on everyone (especially a few pages Black Harry).
LE your so right .
town of hartlepool politics all for labour this is were
CAB,BARCLAY,RICHARDSON, have been posting on there knowing the majority of the group support labour
The conversation shows the mad cyclist up for exactly what he is, personal vindictive attacks, siding up with a failure like Karl, somebody he wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
The exact type of person that Jeremy Corbyn hates.
HB is not against the Tories, he is just giving his ego a pamper day and exercising his jealousy of those that have the balls to stand as councillors never mind MP.
Black Harry once told me his biggest regret was not standing for the first Mayoral election (when Hangus got elected).
In my opinion its this simple, he was desperate to stand but he knew he could not stand the idea of not winning.
Imagine if Harry stood for Council and failed to get elected, he'd never get over it
I have to say I have never seen a more venom laden rant in my life. Clearly Harry is a bitter and twisted spent force, sacked after Mandy stormed his office, gave him the hairdryer and unceremoniously kicked his ar** out. About the only useful thing he did.
As for Karl (Marx's) I remember him 30 years ago infesting the Park Hotel with two of his "associates". Sat there, in a pub full of young people (it was called the crèche for good reason) with a disgusting, food filled beard and a Russian Flag badge in his lapel, talking treason. Come the grorious day eh Karl? Looser then and three decades later a looser now!
With these guardians of the galaxy socialism self interest and corruption bestriding our paths all will be well, NOT.
Interesting that with all the potential libel printed on here, that there are no writs are floating around, tells you everythhing you need to know!
There are 3 printed publications in Hartlepool that I know of: Hartbeat, The Hartlepool Mail and Hartlepool Life.
The Post was specifically set up to counter-balance the tax-payer funded propaganda in Hartbeat and the Hartlepool Mail's relationship with HBC's Spin Department which was far too close to be healthy. The Mail was and continues to be all too willing to copy/paste the council's press releases verbatim without question.
In some ways, Hartlepool Life is even worse with it's up front, declared intention of only ever printing good news stories - a missed opportunity that I'm certain that it will come to regret.
The one thing I will say is, for all the existence of these three printed publications, people would never have known about Wilcox and Manor Residents, of Cranney's Mountain and his 26 failed companies, of SAB's sacking at Newcastle, Beck's cowardice and lies, the secret meeting between CAB and the Wynyard Developers that preceded the scrapping of the local plan, Carpetgate and a whole host of other things without the existence of the Hartlepool Post . . . and it's interesting, for all the plethora of local Facebook sites, just how much of their space is given over to matters raised on this site.
If that's being 'negative' then so be it. We'll stop being 'negative' when there is no more wrongdoing left to expose.

hahahahahahahahaha........ A Political Giant, I nearly peed myself at that............he has existed on the back of his councillors allowances paid by the council tax payers for years, when did he last engage in gainful employment and what did it consist off, so A Political Giant he isn't, what he is, is a product of a dysfunctional Constituency Labour Party.
I personally know of no working age person that would choose the option of being an elected councillor living on allowances for years, over that of working for a living in the real world.......unless of course you happened to work for Ex-Labour Councillor Angela Wilcox at Manor Residents

Are councillors excluded from jobseekers procedures or does their Councillor role get classed as employment.
Quote from: Riddler5 on May 29, 2017, 09: AM
Are councillors excluded from jobseekers procedures or does their Councillor role get classed as employment.
I am curious why do you ask?
You have to be actively seeking work to claim jobseekers allowance.... Shortly before I retired the weekly sum was £72 a week, you had to sign a 'contract' that required you (from memory) to contact 20 employers per week, the sanctions if you neglected to do so.... your dole was stopped.
I can only assume that if a councillor of working age chooses not to work, they either have a pension, a spouse that supports them, or they are of independent means (make of the latter what you will)
I suppose if you are a councillor who is in a position of being unable to secure employment in your chosen sphere (for example) the care sector, and you were dismissed for gross industrial mis-conduct....... you could always start a cafe in a council community centre.

= self employed? = End of benefits? ;)
Another question rears its head.......
So how come it took so long to 'out' the mad cyclist ?
I outed him several times but ADMIN ignored it.
Ditto and HB denied it was him too.
He doesn't like other people telling lies and gets quite pedantic about it.

He will probably qualify for Housing Benefit due too his low income.
Depending on how old he is he might also get Pension Credits.
It didn't take very long, despite Barry Hackwoods assertions that he remained incognito for several months, regular users of The Post had quickly sussed his Steely Dan persona..... in the case of admin, they recognised his modus operandi almost immediately.
Despite opinions in certain quarters, this forum is relatively laid back and allows all sorts of people to express their opinions, over the years very few people have been banned from The Post, however occasionally some people have overstepped the mark, in Barry the Bicyclist's case I think he was given enough rope and as sure as eggs are eggs, he hung himself....... the screen shot on an earlier post on this thread shows how unpleasant a person he actually is.......it really takes an @rsehole to bully a woman.
Yes Fred. It does take an a*r**o** to bully women. I witnessed the two Riddles doing just that. One of the ladies had to endure endless jones about her mental health at the hands of an elected councillor and another was subjected to threats

I hope I have deciphered the above correctly and appears to be the usual anti-Riddle claptrap from the anti-Riddle clap-trappers. Sad losers who have never got over the fact he was elected despite their best efforts to sabotage his campaign.
Suspected so...a sort of "I have a friend who knows a friend who saw someone do something...but don't quote me"...hence me calling him/her out. But as per your previous= ignore them.

D Riddell needs no testimonial from me, I have known him for 5 or 6 years, we speak when we bump into each which is usually at council meetings, in that time I have never heard him raise his voice, I have great difficulty in believing he has bullied anyone let alone a member of the fair sex..... what I have seen, is his stoicism and level headedness in the face of severe provocation from within the council chamber.

Are you forgetting the time he reduced a spectator at a local count to a heap of quivering jelly? The man was so brutally treated he fled to safety behind a local Police officer and begged that Riddle be kept away from him as he was in fear for his life. All that prevented this individual from collapsing on the spot was the knowledge that if he did go down his bestest buddy Ray Wells was the only person around him who was qualified to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!

Just as an aside - don't you think people who allow other people to use their log on details of Facebook are crazy - especially if the other person has already been banned from Facebook several times.
Next thing you know, they'll be doing it on here ???

Yes Fred. It does take an a*r**o** to bully women. I witnessed the two Riddles doing just that. One of the ladies had to endure endless jones about her mental health at the hands of an elected councillor and another was subjected to threats
Who are these 'endless jones', eternal Welsmen?
Just for clarification, I used the phrase "Howling at the moon" about Harry. A lady who apparently had some issues with her cognitive processing (which she openly revealed, I'm not judging) took offense at the comment and claimed it was a mental health slur.
Anyone who knows me or anything about me knows I champion mental health awareness day in day out in my job. I've organised for psychologists and professionals to work with students prior to exams to help deal with mental health related issues. I've worked with students suffering from all kinds of mental health related issues, I do it day in day out.
It's basically just Harry being Harry.
