An open invite to share some time with the next MP for Hartlepool - Richard Tice.
If you are Brexit-friendly, or maybe just curious about what he stands for, come along to the Park Drive Cricket Club this Saturday morning @ 10.00 and meet Richard.
Listen to his vision for how he will change politics in Hartlepool for good.
How he will battle to ensure a real Brexit happens and how to bring jobs and investment to Hartlepool.
Have a coffee with Nigel Farage who will also be there.
Share some nibbles with likeminded people who don't see our future as being either safe or improved in any way whatsoever if it's in the hands of:- The Cran himself; -the Invisible Hill; -or Andy Hang-on from the unliberal non-democrats.
So mki, if you want to be enlightened as to why it's not a dying party on its way out, but a dynamic party on its way up, try and escape from the allotment in Greatham for a while and come along to meet Nige and Richard. But be sure to change out of the smock first, and don't forget to don your Where's Wally dut so we can recognise you. Also could be a good opportunity for DR to at last get a response to his Holy Grail interminable question (the answer is 42 by the way)

I guess you will not tell every one what the brexit party mp will do once brexit has occurred? Seems a pointless move having a brexit mp after brexit?
i have asked you twice in other post and you have not answered
We've been electing Labour MP's for 60 years and what have any of them done once the election was over but keep the seat warm and bank the vote in the chamber.
So what's the point of a Labour MP.
We could always rename it the 'Taken for a Mug Party'....again and again.

Completely agree.
Ditto....60 years of treating the voters of Hartlepool with total contempt and we still get the labmob trolls abusing people on social media.
As the man said...' Labour are interested in the workers the same way dogs are interested in fleas'.
I might just pop along to Park Drive on Saturday, Hubris...thanks for the invite/ reminder. A Brexit MP for the town certainly can't do any worse than the previous Labour ones.
Btw, is Mike Hill standing again? Reason I ask is that a neighbour has a poster up saying 'Vote Labour' but no name of the candidate.

Johnny, you should have joined us at Park Drive. It was very positive to meet with Hartlepool's next MP. And that bloke Farage who mki has wet dreams about gave his usual erudite and vote winning performance.
As for Hill, if you didn't catch it yet, take a look at his efforts on Hartlepool TV. Can't recall when I've ever seen such an insipid, weak or unconvincing performance. Still, what do you expect from a man who's only ever job has been a union rep for librarians ("Sshh please. No talking over there!")

You picked a bad day for the trip, Mk1. Was it raining down in York? No floods?
Light drizzle. River wasn't high at all, looked normal. The thing that I notice about Harrogate, York, Northallerton Morpeth etc is the number of dogs people take shopping with them. They are so common that most shops have a water-bowl outside. It is strange to see them allowed in the shops and no one making a fuss. Life is much gentler in these places!
A dog makes a person better.

Probably more expensive also! Plus, the shops need the custom and won't turn away a potential sale just for the sake of a dog! They'd be barking mad! ;D

In Morpeth there is an arcade with several cafes with tables outside and nearly every customer had a dog sat under the table, The sheer number of people shopping on a Saturday with the family pet really struck me. I looked in a pet shop there and the stuff they were selling was not cheap and nor would you see it in a Hartlepool pet shop. It really is two different worlds. I never saw many £1 shops!

It's amazing how much some people will spend on their pets, especially dogs. Don't even mention vets!
Apparently, even the £1 shops sell some things that cost more than a pound!

When I was at the IWM in Lambeth a decade or more back I had to wait for a research slot so visited the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. It was a shabby dump that made Middleton Grange look successful. It really was run-down and I actually saw a 98p shop just a few doors down from a 99p shop!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OKud8QMYh0
We don't have a high street thanks to Councillors in the 60's and Middleton Grange is just another sanitised sterile place. I wonder if Lynn Street had been developed as advised by the regional planning authority in Newcastle in the 60's we'd have a decent shopping area and Church St and even a proper interchange would make sense.
Ah well, that's Councillors, out with the old and in with the new and they take the credit for something nobody actually wanted.

I wonder if Lynn Street had been developed as advised by the regional planning authority in Newcastle in the 60's we'd have a decent shopping area and Church St and even a proper interchange would make sense.
The original plan was to shift all the housing/shops west of Stockton Road and use the area east of it for industry. The railway line cuts off easy access to the coast and Stockton Road effectively cuts the town in two and it is a big impediment to proper exploitation of the town and seafront. As with all plans it was never fully implemented and still we try and keep Church Street alive with (futile) makeovers every 20 years. Lynn Street in the 1960s was very shabby.
To be fair, most main streets in other towns were shabby in those days and a fraction of the cost spent on Middleton Grange and some 'imagination' which was in zero supply. A lot of the popular destinations now are where the councillors didn't get 'aroused' at the prospect of new roads, concrete monstrosities and looking 'go ahead'.
I remember my dad telling me how coming up the Tyne (he was a ships engineer) one of the locals in the crew on deck said the tower blocks made Tyneside look like New York. ::) I suspect the Councillors shared his deluded view.
I knew that Brexit Party Logo had potential.

Speaking thereof ... here's my old pals' Strawhead's version ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhTBCckUMmI
Can we suspend reality for a short while? (although I think that happened on this and other similar threads a long time ago).
Imagine, in the late '50s, if England, Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales came up with a scenario whereby a 'common market' was enacted.
Slowly but surely, other countries bought into the idea. We would all trade our goods to each other, at discounted prices, whilst safeguarding each other from 'outside' traders.
Initially it worked. But then the 'high flyers' of Eng. Scot. Ire. and Wales decided 'rules' were required and introduced them.
All countries must use Pound Sterling. The majority acquiesced but there was one or two awkward sods. Their cards were marked.
Then all were informed they must used pounds & ounces. Once again the majority acquiesced but there were the awkward squad kicked off.
Then, after a number of years we (Eng. Scot. Ire. & Wales 'high flyers') decided the rules had to have some 'bite', therefore a management team of politicians was drawn up and 'rules' became 'lawful edicts'.
Refusal of acceptance of the 'laws' to be met with swingeing fines.
Yes I know, a silly supposition and would never have happened, or be accepted.
So surely, it begs the question, why do WE accept the laws laid down by unelected 'high flyers' in the EU?
They would refuse to kowtow to OUR rules/laws if WE run the EU. They would demand a Ger,Fra,Spa,Ita,Spa,Porexit from us.
Vote tactically, vote Richard Tice and BREXIT for this town.
Let's have Johnson as Premier and get us out of the stinking morass that of the money pit that is the EUSSR.
Never mind the two pseudo intellectuals on here (Uni people are more intelligent, says mk1. Swinson admits to smoking and enjoying canabis at Uni and when she is Prime Minister she will legalise it. She also wants all children to decide which sex they want to be. Is that the education, or the waccy baccy?).
Labour Hartlepool...vote for something different. You have had 60 years of Labour.
You had your utopia with 13 years of Labour govt. Did anything change for Hartlepool in those 13 years?
Blair, Mandelson, Milliband, Milburn...all on our doorstep in those 13 years and we still ended up a 'ghost town'. >:(
Come out of the sinking EU, vote Brexit for our town.
To the 2 head bangers; I don't respond to your pathetic diatribe but give me a laugh anyway with your puerile claptrap. 8)

Certain cars also have the speedometer in miles. Just a thought ;)
Indeed they do. Have you got the % numbers for how many cars produced in the UK have miles on their dials?
There is nothing wrong with a country using a medieval measuring system alongside the world wide standard system its business and scientific institutions prefer.
Every car I have bought for years has had the speedometer graduated in MPH on the main scale and KPH on the minor scale,however the Odometer has been graduated in miles only. This is true of all vehicles produced to be sold to the UK market whatever country they were manufactured in.

Johnny, always good for a laugh mikeyboy was just trying to backtrack on his last clever attempt at quoting Shakespeare when he faceplanked by getting his Macbeth totally mixed up with his Hamlet. Maybe the Bard's works haven't quite made it to Greatham yet!

To be fair (to Mk1), I think what he meant after ''ay, there's the rub''
(Hamlets solilquy)....was ''and definitely a small cigar'' =(
Hamlet, the small cigar) as opposed to ''not The Scottish Play'' =
(Macbeth). A novel puzzle, a play on words if you like!
I'm off to bed now...to sleep..to sleep...perchance to dream...aye, there's the rub!
