pontificating about how a similar thing happened 50 years ago in New Zealand or ........................

somewhere closer to home and only a few years back?


As Tennant is a possible runner let us remind ourselves of one of his previous whopping great lies.



Shane's lies are even more shameless.




Richard 'They-need-us-more-than-we-need-them' Tice? Well is he not confident the EU will be utterly defeated and 'we' will get 'our' fish back?

Mr Tice insisted because the UK is a sovereign state and the fishing waters are part of the UK, the EU must give in to the countries demands.
"We were always going to take back our fishing waters, it is absolutely critical that we do that."

Mr Tice insisted because the UK is a sovereign state and the fishing waters are part of the UK, the EU must give in to the countries demands.

He said: "We want a deal where we have a simple set of arrangements where we assess the deal and look at how we allow licences and quotas on a yearly basis, not dissimilar to what countries like Norway do and other independent nations.

"So that yes there can be some access for EU boats but it is on our terms and we need to be able to assess it."

Great track record there lads.



Bring on the clown-show.

I note also a massive shift of opinion on a local social meeja site. The prime-movers in the  desperate attempt to foist Tice on us last time are now  bigging up Boris and the Tories. .  Its not just Shane who changes his party allegiance as often as his socks!

I'm hearing Tice is considering standing....

Will The Hartlepool By-Election Bring Johnson's Vaccine Bounce Down To Earth?
Risks for Keir Starmer too as his first electoral test gets even more tricky.
The full cabinet meeting was barely over when news emerged of another key contest on May 6: a Hartlepool by-election, prompted by the resignation of MP Mike Hill amid sex harassment allegations. Given Labour's need for high turnout, it's no surprise they decided to move the writ to hold the contest in super-quick time to coincide with the super-Thursday of the other elections.

The bookies swiftly installed the Tories as favourites, clearly swayed by the fact that Labour's majority was slashed to just under 4,000 in 2019, that this is a 'Red Wall' seat, and by the government's growing national poll lead. In what many will see as another bit of expectations management, one Labour insider tells me: "If you could pick one seat we didn't want a by-election in, it is Hartlepool. It's a nightmare."
And yet, for all that, many will expect Hartlepool to really stay Labour. It's perfectly plausible that more than half of the Brexit Party vote at the last election came from Labour and not just Tory supporters. This time there will be no serious Farage party presence, and with Starmer's much higher national poll ratings compared to Corbyn's in 2019, it should be a Labour "hold".

With many Tory "Red Wall" seats having Brexit Party votes larger than their Tory majority, squeezing that in Hartlepool could spell real danger for Johnson in other seats in 2024. A clear victory, backed by gains of some country councils, could give Starmer some much-needed momentum as he finally gets to make speeches in person and meet the public (35% of whom still say "don't know" when asked about him) this summer and autumn. Some around him hope that politics, like the country, may be heading back to "normal".

Good.

Because the alternatives are truly frightening.

To be fair this place, and the FB page is a massive echo chamber.  The narrative seems to go

Labour are s**t
They surely must get kicked out
Oh they didnt, people of the town are stupid

That said, it would be more agreeable if labour could stop being s**t.  The on going c**k ups, in fighting and taking folks votes for granted allow the current gov to get away with all sorts of bad things (e.g. how many police have we lost from our town again, giving public contracts to their chums, covid death rate etc etc).  But you cant raise those sort of concerns because you are a "lefty woke loon"

You have to wonder  if these people understand how elections work.

What part of 'democracy' do they not understand?

The born-again Boris groupies are , in the main, just trying to save face after their preferred candidate  had his ar*se handed to him by Mike Hill. Smarting from this humiliating  defeat and unable to admit  error they pretend they were actually  closet Conservative supporters . They fool no one and they are carbon-copies of the myopic Labour voters they constantly deride.
It is conveniently forgotten that the local Conservatives were in coalition with the SCABs and all planning decisions were in their gift. Specifically in the hands of one man who looked after his own. You can not  condemn Labour whilst at the same time ignoring/praising their accomplices. Shane made a back-room deal with the very same conservatives and the SCAB cabal. It is the same old faces  and the same old corrupt insider group pulling the strings.

Was it only 4 years ago when the UKIP fruitcakes made Hartlepool a national  laughing stock?

mmm and Mike Hunt sorry Hill has continued the good work assisted by the former leader of the Labour Party who restored his whip ( how appropriate an expression is that?) despite an investigation onto Hills behaviour still being ongoing

When in Hartlepool will we learn Labour doesn't give a toss about us?

https://order-order.com/2021/03/17/exclusive-internal-hartlepool-labour-memo-plans-by-election-candidate-stitch-up/

The memo also embarrassingly concedes that Paul Williams and the national Labour Party are not well informed about the area. Under a section of the document entitled "Parliamentary Election Brief", the local party chiefs concede:

"It seems clear that the party and Paul aren't quite as well informed as we'd like them to be re the town and our electorate – as soon as were able I believe we need to arrange meetings with Paul, LOTO and the CLPs election team to go through a full briefing and plan. They won't win this if they take a generic and national approach, is key we provide them with the info they need and are robust enough in our arguments to ensure they listen."

Seeking to stitch up the selection with someone they concede doesn't know the town. How could this go wrong...

Time to forget about the coal mines and ship yards and join the 21st century.......vote bong eyed loony party.

Reading the email link one thing leaps to my mind ... just what (or who) is hidden in the attic stopping the cleaner from sorting it out?
