Jaysay and Andrew do a fine job..and like I said I doubt anyone swaying between Labour and Tory take any notice of me.. or you.

I certainly don't attribute Mancie to the 'Labour camp'. He has his own views, many of which I disagree with. If he believes Labour are the best party for him out of the main two, then thats his choice. His opinions are his own, only a narrow minded person attempting to win petty arguments would try and attribute non-elected individuals thoughts to that of the party, or the party to them. There are probably quite a few people who have made their mind up who to vote for, you don't need to start labelling them and putting them in little boxes.

You really are a card.

Unintentionally funny, but hilarious none the less.

Now talking of little boxes, have you tided your bedroom, and put all those toys away?

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

They might be swayed by your support for Labour, and pure hatred of the Conservatives, when it gets really personally abusive. Though I couldn't say which way.

Though you're right, no one will take any notice of me. Nor should they.

I'm just Joe Average, non-partisan, and just waiting who to decide to vote for, when the full field of candidates is eventually published.

Incidentally there are five guaranteed names put forward for the ballot paper so far in Hyndburn.

Labour, BNP, Christian Peoples (sic) Alliance, Liberal Democrats, and the English Democrats.

Let's hope the Conservatives stop all this bickering, and arrive at some compromise soon, so us ordinary Joes can decide who we want to represent us in Westminster.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

..and I'm sure right now all those five people, and their parties, are working hard in canvassing support, whilst the Tories bicker amongst themselves.

As posted earlier, this is the best chance they've had for years, and they could be throwing it all way, because they couldn't locally be united with the national Conservative party.

If I was a local party activist for the Conservative party, I'd be spitting feathers at this shambles. Fuming.

Purely as an innocent bystander, I think what is going on is bad for democracy in the consituency.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

yep he was, can't recall him being broadly detested though throughout Hyndburn by many.:confused: must be a differance these days.:D

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

Politics aside, as a man, I would also say he was very well liked.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

I doubt any personal abuse from me sways even one voter... the Tories have always been a step back for this country, but they will always be there.. like dog **** in the park and that is what I oppose.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

Perhaps all this anger is really self-loathing, because you are the epitome of a Tory success story.

Left the decaying industrial north, peddling away, with Tebbit's words ringing in your ears.

Off to the soft south, to see if the streets of London really were paved with gold.

Found that they were, in Bermondsey.

Found health, wealth, and the love of a good women.

The rest is history.

If I was at Satchi's I'd have you up on a hoardings poster.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

now I know you are taking the pee..but on a lighter note I suppose it was clutchin at straws to believe Ken the Con was not a Thatcherite.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

Vote for your britcliffe,hargeaves,kev horkin and whoever else in there sec to take over hyndburn.it wont matter,they are already doing what they want anyway.central goverment will do what they do also whoever gets in. however i'll tell you this though !! . ive worked with graham jones for a few years ( as in normal working employment ) and he is basically a very honest chap.do you want the same old maffia? think about it before you leap folks :eek:

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

Anyone living or working in London knows it is not a soft touch...you gets what your deserve and you get nowt for free.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

In the seventeen years I lived there I found eveyone very obliging.

Bend over backwards, as soon as look at you.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

Thankfully Peter's little friend Kevin Horkin, isn't standing. It's preacher of hate, Kevin Logan.

It's interesting to read what you say about Graham Jones.

I've never spoken to him. The only information I know personally is from two friends off here, who I go to the theatre with, and who have him as a councillor, and they speak very highly of him, and the work he does for the people he represents in that ward.

Re: Potential Conservative Candidate for Parliament
 

Can't say I've had the same welcome.. could be my aftershave.:rolleyes:
