The Poolie Bunker

I am not hijacking the thread with comments about Reform in Caerphilly, they were the favourites to win it, they had a candidate in the by election so the thread is open to debate about Reform i would think.
You are now saying Derwent if you deviate from the topic you can be banned, many topics on the Bunker end up deviating away from the original topic.Reform were mentioned in the first page 3rd post by Snowy.

All the Party apparatchiks will have been told to involve themselves in constantly abusing Reform and picking up every minor indiscretion because they’re a threat to the three clown Clown Party’s the Lib Laby Tory collective.
Their new line is you can’t elect any Party outside the old contemptible Patty’s because they have no experience of office…Well if the performance of Labour and Tory’s are anything to go by in the last thirty years , it’s patently bollocks.
This shower in office was full of political virgins, nodding dogs, new to office! so doesn’t it apply to Labour too?

It's like if Pools were getting hammered at half time today and saying Beech or Hartley (someone who may or may not get the job sometimes in the future) needs to sort the defence out?
It's bizarre yet totally predictable.

I don't know why you allow Farage to beat you up every day,Jamie. If I were you I'd be saving all my strength for defending Reeves budget speech.The man's on a roll, accept it please for your own health's sake.

true, and like most topics on here we can do sod all about it but comment.

All the parties are full of political virgins Snowy, I get the impression it’s trial and error who ever gets in power, try this try that but nothing ever appears to raise our standard of living.
One thing I did like about Thatcher was she never U-turned, she stuck to her policies.

Farage does beat me up with the amount of media coverage he gets considering Reform only have 5 MPs, no one is currently asking him why 40 local Reform councillors have resigned, been suspended or changed parties.
The Guardian have done an article about how racist he was at school but for me that’s grasping at straws although they do say a leopard never changes its spots.

Nobody asks the questions because as you yourself point out, they're a minority party. You makes big deals of 10 a penny councillor resignations or sackings without any comments on criminal or law breaking Labour MPs.

The councillors could eventually become prospective MPs, the majority of MPs started off in local politics and at the same time 40 odd Labour MPs have not been committed on law breaking or criminal charges in less than 6 months in power.
The biggest concern is how much interference the Russians have in the U.K. after ex leader of Reform U.K. was convicted of accepting bribes.
The other issue is the Chinese being allowed to build a ‘super Embassy, the 600,000 ft site is located above sensitive cables running between the City of London and Canary Wharf and has been subject to widespread protests but it appears it’s getting the go ahead.

I think I've hit a nerve.
I never mentioned anything about banning so that comment is a downright lie. However since you have raised the prospect of banning, if it actually happened there would be consternation right across the land as people would be up in arms at the decline of the absolute entertainment value that your five bring to this place. Over the years certain posters have stood out as being a bit eccentric, biased or just purveyors of downright crackpottery and you and your mates are right up there with them my Son. You haven't got a holiday cottage in Kent by any chance have you ?????

Whoever is involved in allowing the Chinese to build a spy station in London should be shot. Now. First in the knees and then, a day later, the genitals. Then leave them to bleed out. Simples.

What does ‘Abuse of our moderating leniency I would submit’, a veiled threat ?

Starmer is meeting with the Chinese now, they are saying ‘consequences’ if they don’t get the go ahead, I suspect Starmer will buckle.

He’ll give in and try to emphasise the ‘benefits’…unless he grows a pair.

It is what is says on the tin, no more no less. You will clutch at any straw to validate your left wing zealotry. I don't do veiled threats. Your position is quite clear and obvious. This forum is free of charge, courtesy of Mr I, and most people behave in a rational and sensible manner. You and your cohorts take turns each to use it to spout your left wing agenda without as much as a blush.
You know what you are doing and by the replies you get, so does other people. The problem is you haven't got the guts to admit it but hey ho, as I say, it has a certain amount of entertainment value as well as underlining the obvious relating to the present shower of incompetents who are allegedly running the show. Running it down would be the more precise description.
Reform is shaking the status quo by it's rotten roots and you and your fellow zealots haven't got any other answer apart from chucking as much muck as you can get on your collective shovels at them. The reason for Reform doing well is staring you in the face but you can't see it or won't admit to seeing it, another example of lack of guts.

You're comparing councillors and MPs / Cabinet Ministers and consider wrongdoing councillors to be worse than law breaking MPs and Cabinet Ministers, wow!!!
Where do you get your info about the majority of MPs being ex councillors, is it something you've made up?
If Starmer's meeting the Chinese it's not the Leader cos he's not at the summit, maybe having a chat with a Chinese cleaner or some such though.

Who's his 4 other cohorts?

Keep up Mutt.

So who are they?

Is this one…?
Dave Gordon..aka ….’Flash Gordon’ owner of the ‘North Gare Nudist Collective’…?

Not sure which one but at a guess I'd say number two.

It would appear if you have left wing views on this board you are a zealot, I get the impression that some appear to think that left wing supporters appear to have ‘planted’ people on various message boards to try and influence people.
Nigel Farage has said Putin is the politician he ‘most admires’, the former leader of Reform in Wales has admitted taking bribes from the Kremlin to peddle pro-Moscow lies and propaganda.We simply cannot trust these plastic patriots with our national security.

Really comrade?

Wrong again, not all Labour supporters are left wing zealots but some are. You for example. Strange that you introduce the idea of "planting". Is that a feeble attempt at hiding in plain sight.

Can you point out why am a zealot Derwent, I have asked you this many times but you never answer, I am a left wing supporter but not a current supporter of the current Labour Party the same as you.

More to come out, as the next election approaches the Tory supporting MSM will go out of their way to discredit Reform.

I am not a current supporter of the Labour party Jamie that is true. I currently don't support any party but like everyone else I keep a keen eye on the Government of the day as they are the only one's responsible for policy, whereas you appear to want to scrutinize everyone who poses a threat to them. That is the difference. You constantly scrutinized the previous government and took them to task and still bring up their performance from time to time but you very rarely make any attempt to criticise the only people who have the power to change anything at present. As for being a left wing zealot, that is the way you come across. I can only judge what I see. if you don't want to be referred to as a zealot, then don't act like one. If the next time you are in Hartlepool and see someone in the street bedecked in Newcastle regalia how would you describe that person and how would you react if the same person said he/she didn't support the Mags. You can't constantly appear to be a left wing zealot then complain if you are described as one.

He's good mates with both Trump and Putin and looking ahead this might be a good thing don't you agree?...Who's We? btw

The irony "we cannot trust these plastic patriots with our national security" - from the patriot who lives in Thailand!!

The use of the word ‘we’ indicates a subconscious belief on his part that everyone shares his view (my Sociology A level wasn’t totally a waste of time).

How much information have pissed up ex- pats passed onto soviet ears in the far east in the past is what i want to know...

Good question.

Nah, this is number two….Vladimir Farquharson-$nooty….
Has a couple of degrees from Horden Uni…in Air guitar and skate boarding…..works full time for the People’s Party and Cat Hypnosis Collective ..currently working from home and keeps a cautious distance from reality.

Yep plenty of Russians in Thailand, certainly could pass some info but most are escaping conscription, bearing in mind every one has a price.
Unfortunately quite a few young Russians won’t be going back, they hire high powered motor bikes then kill them selves, one did outside which used to be my local bar, straight into a concrete lamppost head first and another out side the school near me, red stuff all over the road fortunately the kids were indoors.

Mildly surprised you didn’t implicate Farage and Reform into the number of Russian Motorcycle accidents in Thailand..

Why would I do that, I didn’t know them and not much chance to get to know them now.

Jamie, by any chance is your firm of solicitors called Hadaway and Shiteman ??????

I did deal with Ward Hadaway from Newcastle a few times when buying property,you must be getting confused by the name.

Has Shiteman retired, he was getting on.
