Tories win local election in Normanby

[sherlock]

First it’s scum , then as the hate builds you de-humanise them more , soon enough you feel physical harm against them is justified because you justify to yourself that you are right.

The irony is strong here because you’re literally describing how Tories treat asylum seekers, benefits claimants, disabled people etc.

There is no party that encourages division and hatred more than the Conservatives.

It’s so true and the conservative voter is the enabler of all of this.

They are in Redcar and Cleveland

"I will also be working closely with Jacob Young MP and my colleagues on the council to get the Eston Baths and Eston Square projects over the line, as well as addressing the issues with traffic in Normanby which I believe new lights could help improve."

Thanks

The Tories will do nothing as usual

I live and socialise in Normanby and hear what people talk about politically. Brexit and good old fashioned racism played a sizeable part in this result, I'm sad to say.

Brexit was 100% a racist vote

 

[stephen321]

I mean seriously who says "scum". You all sound like a bunch of idiots. Veins popping out your purple foreheads. The only person who can call a person scum and not sound like a reactionary **** is hannible from the a-team.

Maybe Hannibal Tories care nothing for anybody except themselves. People who vote for them in an area like ours are not scum just stupid and likely a Brexit idiot.

He really is oblivious to it . He’s going around everywhere calling people bigots while he is incapable of realising he is one himself . I gave up trying to have a rational debate with him over immigration for example . I tried suggesting more people coming to the island will inevitably take up more green space as more housing is needed , pollution levels will rise with more cars and more farmland needed to feed an increasing population . Such arguments are apparently “far right “. It isn’t , it’s just not what he wants to hear. I could understand if the argument of “there are too many brown people coming in” was raised , but it wasn’t . Those aren’t opinions, those are facts . More people inevitably means more resource demands on the island .Even more hilarious is I’m a remainer.

Marking people as “scum” for thinking differently to you to me isn’t a moderate view to have . First it’s scum , then as the hate builds you de-humanise them more , soon enough you feel physical harm against them is justified because you justify to yourself that you are right . This is what got the Labour mp assassinated . A Tory mp has already been killed too .

My wife voted corbyn in the last 2 elections, I voted Tory on the last 2 because of corbyn . I don’t think any less of her . She’s a very intelligent woman whom I love dearly , we just see differently on certain topics. I’ve voted Labour and Tory and even Lib Dem throughout my time . I change depending on who is most appealing . Political parties are NOT football teams . Political parties don’t deserve unwavering loyalty .

The Tories are never "appealing" ffs ever. Corbyn agree but Tory never

 

[zzzzz]

Selfish ignorant scum.
I don't care who I upset with that.
Just can't get my head round it.

 

[Ipad1977]

The ones thinking a Labour majority is a foregone conclusion are probably the same who gave Corbyn a cat in hells chance or predicted a strong remain victory.

Wishful thinking.

The old "thinking it's a foregone conclusion" is always the lazy shooting themselves in the foot.
It's a big reason towards how the Brexit vote turned out the way it did (too many lazy remainers thinking "Oh they won't need me to get off my ar$e then") and people like Trump getting in power.

 

[Ziggy]

There were many reasons for the Brexit vote. But don’t forget.

 

[SmallTown]

Of course you are a coward. No one behaves like you do in real life.

Classy. Cute. I'm also pretty sure you're getting angry at something subby said that I said and bit what I actually said.

I think you need a but of selfish reflection. Just why have you chosen to get angry with a random internet stranger because of something someone amelse thinks he said?

I think you need to step back and think about what you're really upset about

 

[newyddion]

Well Im afraid I voted for the tories & Brexit, so im classed as scum & a stain on the area & an embarrseament too

To save anyone the embarrassment of replying to my future posts I'll stay off here for a while

Though I will wish each of you a happy Christmas & all the best for 2023

all the best for 2023 indeed! it's ruddy 2024 now! time to get back on the hoss?

 

[LaPennaBianca]

I think this chancer has taken his special brand of remembering the past in varyingly problematic ways to a different board.

That chancer was one of the better posters on this board and his absence is our loss.

No chance a Tory resurfaces anytime soon

 

[Quicksilvera]

No chance a Tory resurfaces anytime soon

Finally we agree

No idea what this is about I’m afraid

I thought there were quite a few folks on here that vote or voted conservative?

 

[Stellify]

how can you call people scum if they vote for a Tory for a council position? People are allowed an opposing view to ourselves

I can’t stand the tories but there are some things that Labour need to learn locally. This is a very pro brexit area. When you have the likes of Anna turley campaigning it’s just not going to sit well with that demographic

We seen a similar effect hartlepool.

Labour need to evolve to local demographics

Best reply here... people calling people for voting for someone else lol. No one Labour couldn't win a tombola with people like that.

I didn’t vote for brexit.. but I could understand people not wanting another tier of government. People voted against devolution for the same reason.. again we have a lack of perspective.

Labour MPs voting against the wishes of their constituents.. against the membership, the manifesto.. THAT is what has lost the past two elections.

Unfortunately this ‘vote for me or else’ attitude has been carried forward and their are many well meaning.. misguided individuals who continue to drive Labour voters into the hands of the Conservatives.

So I voted remain and my neighbour voted leave.
How should my Labour MP have voted in Parliament?
This "Labour MPs voting against the wishes of their constituents" clap-trap gets trotted out everytime as the reason why Labour lost the last two elections. It's rubbish. 2019 was a single issue election and as Corbyn couldn't get his ducks in a row is it any wonder why the electorate was turned off?
