Looking for young tories!
 

Any Conservatives under 30 hanging around in the wilderness? Give me a PM :D

You don't need to be a member of the party, just consider yourself a Conservative!

Re: Looking for young tories!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

He doesn't want to converse with any old crumblies. He's only a young un. :p:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Looks like young tories are thin on the ground at Hull UNI ;)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Looking a bit thin on the ground on Accyweb as well:eek:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Maybe he will get pm's so you lot don't abuse anyone who speaks out.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well I for one won't be abusing anybody for having an opinion!!!

Not a cat in hells chance......

why under 30 anyhow???[/ Because they dont remember what an "EVIL BITCH" Maggie Thatcher was

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

So you reckon most tories under 30 are hanging about in the wilderness?

Almost the best place for them, the only one better would be in a trench dug about 6' by 3'!
:D

Could you be a little more specific though, are you after young Gay tories, young Lesbian tories, or a young I'm all right jack screw you, I intend to be a proper run of the mill tory one day,
type tory?

http://www.3rdgen.org/bb/images/smilies/grouphug.gif Awww look Cyphr's found some new friends!

P.S. Why do they have to P.M. you? Are they not proud of how they've ended up? Would it be embarrassing for them to fly the tory banner?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I know a frightfully nice young chap, though he isn't a member on here, but I'll happily pass on his details to you.:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Leave the lad alone. He's only after trapping with blazey.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well she has said that she has split with her fella

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Probably when he found out she had joined her university's Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transgender group, which she recently informed us she had.:rolleyes:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Perhaps I should have been more clear. I am after talking to people about joining Conservative Future (formally Young Conservatives). It's for under 30's hence the age requirement :D

Tories are certainly not thin on the ground at Hull! I am a member there and want to establish a branch here.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Go and lift some rocks up ! Only joking, Cyfr, you are the only young Tory I know of, does David Attenborough know of your plight ? :rolleyes:;)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well for a lad of 19 he a very level headed young man irespective of which party he belongs to, he also has a lot of guts advertising on here as well. We have to remember that far to few young people are interested in politics of any sort, but its young men like Cyfr that the future of this country depends on, so don't knock, just be thankful there are people like him as they are few and far between.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Ah, they're all hiding in the woodworks, got a couple of PM's already. It was like this at Uni too, never expected to find people but the Hull CF is expading well!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Ahh yes,

As???

Well, whatever it smells as sweet as, it will keep the flies off your sandwiches!

:p

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

The biggest grumble I ever hear from my father's generation is the old "everything's gone to pot so why the hell bother" and they are the first to criticize anyone who tries to stand up for anything. It should be about engagement, not the simple knock down of anyone who wants to start expressing opinions just because they are political. Its easy to be negative and criticize those who try, and the ones who do all the moaning are the ones who stand in the pub and moan but have never actually bothered to get out there.

Instead of being negative, if you want to challenge, do it in a positive and constructive way. Politics creates arguments, it should do, thats the only way it works - because people disagree.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

i sincerly hope so.:D:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

its the old name "Conservative" that bothers me

I ain't got nothing to conserve..............

see dictionary definition -

adjective 1. disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.

I want it changed !!!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Why the limp wrist flag? What's that got to do with anything? :confused:

I'm 30 so I think I might be too old to join Cyfr's group but I think it is a great idea. You can be very bitter sometimes.

You say young tories belong in a grave and Cashman says they should be hung. All said tongue in cheek I should hope but then you wonder why some may be a little hesitant in saying that they vote conservative.

It doesn't bother me because I don't think that you mean it but some people might think you do and , not wanting to endure all the snide remarks you make, keep it to themselves.

Cyfr comes accross to me as a very intelligent young man and there aren't many of those around so I think that he is to be applauded for what he's doing.:)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Cyfr n me have a simple understanding Lilly- hes a Tory- I aint.:D and i was only agreeing Cyfr said it. pmsl

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

A good understanding to me. :D

But don't blame Cyfr for what you said.

Cyfr said 'Any young tories hanging around?'

You deleted the word 'around' to make the sentence 'Any young tories hanging?' Then you said 'I should hope so.'

Oh yes you did. :p:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Just for the record, I haven't spoken up because he already asked me about this BEFORE he made the thread, and I told him I think it is a brilliant idea.

And also for the record, Cyfr can kiss me all he likes, so nerrrr. :rolleyes:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Cyfr

No, I'm not applying to join CF! When you are next in the student union have a look at the photos of past union execs - in the 1981/2 photo there a guy on the front row wearing odd socks. Laugh at the photo, reflect on how scary it is that he is now in the House of Commons then go for a pint in the Haworth!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Haha odd socks eh! :D

I've seen lots of photos of you in leaflets but not that particular one, I'll look out for it. Not been to the Haworth yet, the Union has a really good bar and end up down Princess Avenue most of the time!

Where did you stand on the exec?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

All students wear odd socks, sometimes ridiculously odd...

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I did a sabbatical year as Vice-President (Finance & Admin) after I'd got my politics degree. Funnily enough, my son graduated from Hull last year so I have been over a few times recently. The union bar had improved greatly!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I'm 27 do I get my own Voodoo doll of Graham Jones as a joining gift? Lol

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Sorry shouldn't laugh but that was quite funny :lol::yelrotflm:rofl38:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Seriously though Cyfr as a budding young Tory out of curiosity do they have young Political groups for young people other than the personal get together you have made yourself? I think it's a good idea.. I can't wish you good luck but it's nice to see you are committed to what you believe :)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

No no, we only make Voodoos of formidable foes. ;)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Yes they do, I'm a member of Hull Conservative Future too.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Is it just you on your own, or have you just not got round to informing H.O. you have a branch in Hull?:D


ConservativeFuture.com: Branches

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

They know we have a branch in Hull and Hyndburn :p They just must have not updated it. The Hull one was in existence before I came to uni.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

That's over six months ago, and shouts to me shoddy management.:rolleyes::D:p

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

.................................................. ...........

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Its not good to change your heart accyman or delete it either, very useful them hearts you know:rolleyes::D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

We now have a website! Hyndburn Conservative Future

Anybody else wishing to join is of course welcome, either by PM or using the contact form on the site!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Good start Cyfr, at least your up and running, best of luck young man:alright:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

well in fairness congrats cyfr,;)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Cyfr, question for you ...........will the local "grown-ups" allow your group to have a say in picking the local tory parliamentary candidate ?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well done you.

At least you're doing something, even if I don't agree with your politics.

I shall look forward to viewing it, just as soon as something is on there to read.:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Any man who is under 30 and is not a Liberal has no heart; and
any man who is over 30 and not a Conservative has no brains.
- Winston Churchill (1874-1965)I applaud anyone that wants to participate in the political process, while still young and idealistic. Know what you believe, and don't buy into the party line.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Churchill would say that.

He went from the Conservatives to the Liberal party, then back to the Tories.;)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well you couldn't accuse him of sitting on the fence could you Rindi, mind you he was never tempted to go he whole hog and join Labour, thats why he was sutch a great statesman:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well brand me heartless and damn me to hell.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

i did that long ago.:rofl38::rofl38: hope to see ya tonight?;)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I haven't been apart of candidate selection, but I was under the impression all registered members of the party can.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Still in Lancaster I'm afraid.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

If you are looking for young conservatives, they are probably hanging out with the black republicans.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

shame on those who knock people who want to do something like setting up their own group, whether tongue in cheek or therwise.

Personally, you can stick all the parties up your jacksie!! They all tell lies, they all sneek crap through that you don't agree with, they all tell their constituents one thing and then vote the other way when at Parliament. They all draw far too high a wage ........

It's an important job and somebody has to do it, unfortunately there should be a better way. Like maybe drawing straws or summat.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

From what I have been seeing recently they have already selected her :rolleyes:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Pray tell Neil, I'm a party Member and no one asked me, and they usually do, well they tell me when the section meeting is and then I send my apologies:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Janet Storey mmmmm Interesting!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Why? Have you seen any 'blue' bricks flying around lately? :D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Is she the one with the bad hearing Lol :D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Pardon.

Sorry, I couldn't resist that one. :D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Yes, and plus her sad memory loss is my facile reason for not voting for her again !!

Sorry Cyfr .. couldn't resist that one either.

Can only applaud your efforts for your beliefs.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well obviously you know more than me Graham, I thought there was around three more in the running as well:confused:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

To say you've only been in Hyndburn two minutes you seem to know a lot Walkon, have you got a friend in high places:cool:

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

How slow is he??...... :D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well katex i've always tried to be up front an honest, I don't feel he need to hide behind something I'm not, but of course we don't move in the same circles and you have one up on me, you know who I am, but I ain't got a clue who you are, I just know you as katex, and thats fine by me, fun really:rolleyes::D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

ya dont know me either jaysay, why i could even be- a young tory.:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

hey not so much of the young cashy, you forget we know how old you are, but of course not how old you feel:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Well it was down to three. TonyD, JanetS and Sandra Heyes who quit the 2 day selection in Manchester as I understand it. There was talk of an outsider being imposed a while back. PB bragged recently the candidate wasn't stood far from him. He was with TonyD. So I am surprised Neil says she's female. Tony D was selected as Mayor to shoe him into the public mind and the Parliamentary selection.

However TonyD has been damaged by the corrupt mayor banners and there was an extraordinary meeting over this. One leading Tory said "If you believe that you'll believe anything".

Tory Central Office had all marginals down for early selection and A List candidates. This was in case Gordon called an early election. Tory Central office is now down to selecting difficult/unwinnable seats. Hyndburn Tory Parliamentary selection has slipped and slipped so make what you will. When you watch the national agenda, Hyndburn doesn't feature.

I think the Rishton by-election which national Tories threw a lot of resources at marked Hyndburn down as difficult to win and hence the selection process is as it has been, confused, messy, two years overdue.

PS I can assure readers I went no where near PB's office to get this info!

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

[quote=g jones;551453]When you watch the national agenda, Hyndburn doesn't feature. quote]

And why does that not surprise me?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

[QUOTE=Royboy39;551456]It just seems a total cock up. Conservative Associations were told to be ready and select. If Gordon HAD gone in October, The Tories would have had 4 weeks to select and promote a candidate. (Think about printing??) Why was Tory HQ so lax on Hyndburn Cons. Ass.?

I think Hyndburn Cons. Ass. is essentially PB on his own (not a jibe just an oft repeated observation by everyone) and he's struggling with a bunch of poor councillors who by and large aren't there for the Council, but to keep the Labour Party out.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

[quote=g jones;551461]Are you saying, in a very subtle way, that you're glad 'Gordon' chickened out of the October election?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

[QUOTE=MikeSz;551495]doubt if royboy really cares Mike, he moved from another borough to sunnier climes.:)

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

[quote=cashman;551497]I remember the song " hey hey were the monkies"

Read you had bad weather in the last week.

Climate change....that will cost you.

Bend down and look for fags under the counter (what a load of town halls)

VOTE LABOUR AND SEE THE WORLD.

As we used to say on Radio Shack "Come Back"

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I know your a closet Tory Really Graham:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

[quote=g jones;551461]Actually Graham you make two points, firstly on Parlimamentry, I have said for a long time that Hyndburn would be very hard for the Tories to win at a general since the boundrey change for 1997 GE, with the addition of the two Haslingden Wards, having lived in Worsley Ward for 8 years from 78 to 86 I'm not daft enough to think that the two wards in question are awash with blues
secondly I done really think much of you continually slagging of Tory councillors for the only reason they are Tories, I would take great excepion to you classing my good friend (who was a friend a long long time before he entered politics) Brian Walmsley as a poor councillor, and I would say that when you decide to step down from political life, that you have done as much for the community as Brain, then you will have made a big contribution to the borough, taking into account the many years Brian gave up, to help not only the young people of Oswaldtwistle, but Lancashire in general before he even became politically involved. I find it very sad that a man like yourself who openly says that he wants to make a difference, can treat other like minded people with contempt just because they represent a different political outlook to your own. Over recent years politics has become a dirty game and for that I blame all main political parties, and that is why I am glad that I am no longer involved. In my time even though I was a big critic of the Labour Party, I also had great respect for many of their elected members, Jack Grime, Len Dickinson, Ken Curtis, Bill Pinder, spring readily to mind, but the new bread such as yourself, I'm sorry you just leave a rather nasty taste in the mouth, and as I said before I am glad I'm out of it and don't miss it one bit.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

.. and you obviously have friends with big mouths :D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

pray tell walkno as I made the coment before I had spoken to anyone about Saturdays meet:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

.. who mentioned the meet?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I don't think Jaysay needed to be told, because I wasn't told and it was pretty obvious to me.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

..and the point being? What has this situation got to do with anyone or anything?

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I was replying to your post about people having big mouths.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

I'm dispointed at your reply Cyfr, thereshould have been at least half-a-dozen smilies:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

Unfortunately Cyfr, some people have nothing better to do in this day and age than talk/gossip about other peoples private lives, which is a shame.

Re: Looking for young tories!
 

It is, seems we're on the same team. :D
