Coincidence that today the Conservatives are being rubbished for their PR attempts donating to food banks.

Then pops up the SCABS donating to Radio Hartlepool's Christmas appeal for children's toys.

Biggest hypocrites, difficult choice!

And didn't CAB, Marshall etc. recently visit (& donate to) the Church Street Foodbank - on a day when it wasn't open to clients, of course.

And hasn't there just been something on the ITV news about Tees Valley Labour councillors complaining about Houchen risking tax payers' money on a Vanity Project (he's trying to save Durham Tees-Valley airport - or whatever it's called this week). Wonder where the Labour councillors got that idea from.

Ben Houchen wants to make the airport prosper as an airport, not give away the assets so they can be sold on eBay and give the tax payers a picture of airplanes flying past.

I can't imagine how much of a joke Hartlepool must be to the rest of the Tees Valley

It's extremely generous of LabMob councillors to donate our cash to their pal Jason's good cause, like virtually everything they do it ain't their own money......they could have donated to the food bank at Tesco's Thursday, Friday or Saturday......making political propaganda out of donations to a food bank is on the same moral level as throwing a sickie for a funeral.

Only in Hartlepool and Only the LabMob

Sorry Fred but I have to disagree. LP is correct in his spelling. It must be, could only be, airplane - he is after all alluding to the air-brained schemes of boy blunder and his cohorts.

( Yes... I know ).

Airplane is the American spelling.
As for Houchen and the airport, it was a major point on his manifesto and he got elected. No argument there. Airport or trading estate is the option.
Comparing that as a vanity project to Hinge and Bracket's egotistical tinkering, there's no comparison.

If the zealots on here can't see the hypocrisy of Tory MP's photo bombing food banks then there is something seriously wrong with their moral compass.

Likewise if you can't see that Corbyn is a committed Brexiteer trying to fool convince his overwhelmingly pro-EU membership that he going to keep the UK in the EU

The original post was a 'pox on all your houses' message that seems to have caused some discomfort in the area of your gluteus maximus.

Calling forum members zealots, Pensionater? Really can't see the justification for that.

If Tories photo bombing a food bank is hypocrisy, I dread to think of the description that could be thrown in the direction of the LabMob councillors using public money to donate to one.......

Just because this forum offers up criticism of the Labour/Tory ruling group it doesn't follow that all posters are anti labour zealots, I suspect that most users are or were traditional labour supporters, the fact that creature doesn't exist in Hartlepool under this present bunch means they are fair game....

BTW my Moral Compass is Calibrated and Certified.
