People knocking Teessiders for voting for Houchen.

Oh ffs, I really can’t be bothered with your nonsense today. It was a facetious comment that the Tories always comment about things needing to be fully funded, there isn’t a magic money tree etc. but at the same time are now claiming there’s some magic money tree just for the people of Teesside. It’s cake and eat it nonsense. I’m fully aware that we can print money and invest it and although it isn’t with zero economic cost it’s a far better strategic view than pretending that the economy is a household budget. This is not news to me.

Now find yourself an empty room, and start your argument there, because it’s not welcome here today, you absolute 🔧

I’m just gonna block you’re just negative energy and abuse, I mean YOU calling anyone a Doyle for not admitting they are wrong over something, unbelievable!
Hmmm. So you laugh at another poster for complaining about 'bullying' and tell him he needs to justify his point or just run away, and then when scrote makes a point you don't like and he does explain it in detail you start crying and say you're going to put him on ignore. Seriously? Stop being such a fanny.

It’s not his point I don’t like it’s calling people a Doyle. He can make the point without the insults. He misunderstood my point, that’s fine, he could admit it but he won’t. It’s a pattern with him. it’s really dull, and negative so why should I bother? I don’t gain anything from the interaction and neither does he, unless he gets off on creating conflict which is fine, but I’m not gonna help him with that
 
You're right I don't care what you think but you seem to expend a lot of energy talking about the Labour Party whether you've been prompted to or not. All negative, no tangible suggestions for improvement, just whining and moaning.

When it comes to politics and the Labour Party you are a very needy individual.
I've made plenty of suggestions for improvement and instead of explaining why they might not be workable or practical or whatever, you once again just attack me personally.

I'm not needy in the slightest. I'm just able to recognise that the Teesside area is being and has been massively let down by the Labour Party. If you don't agree with that, feel free to explain why.

I didn't misunderstand your point. You pretended you'd made a different point to the one you did.

Or. You are incapable of expressing your point in a way that other people can understand.

I apologise for calling you a doyle - that was unnecessary.

Give over. "The nasty man told me I was coming across as a doyle and then bumface told me to stop being such a fanny." I've been called a lot worse on here, and I've never put anyone on ignore and I never will. Actually that's a lie. I did put one poster on ignore by mistake. I apologised to him for that. My own fault for being a fat handed tw@t.

Look I don’t owe him or anyone a platform for abuse. He’s not my mate, he doesn’t know me, he’s a nobody, and I get to choose the boundaries of what I will engage with.

I’ve said it before keep it civil and I’ll discuss anything with anyone, but if you start throwing abusive insults off you pop. You want to accept that, that’s your personal choice, you don’t get to chose what I decide to accept from people

Fair enough. If you seriously think that's abuse then I really don't know what to say to you.
You don’t have to say anything, it’s not your call to make and isn’t really any of your concern. I’ve witnessed a continuing trend from scrote, a dismissive, abusive toxic behaviour aimed at me and other posters, that I just find petty and dull. This isn’t about one comment. Do you choose to keep petty negative and dull things in your life? I choose not to

Don't you dare mention me in your response Bumface 🤣

Pots and kettles mate. Politics threads bring out the worst in all of us.

Yes but I keep it civil and non-personal until the insults come my way. I don’t tell people that what they said means something different, I don’t start the playground insults. So no, no pots, just kettles.

I prefer to talk about the benefits and pros to f things, not say “you’re a Doyle”, it’s playground stuff, I left that behind 40 years ago, why would I want to be in that environment again 😂

Civil?


what’s looking like a Houchen win is a badge of shame on Teesside. This is why I moved away and never moved back, people that do really dumb stuff like vote for Houchen

Agreed, we have a politically illiterate populous

How dumb are people to refuse to vote Labour because their stance on Gaza isn’t strong enough, knowing the they are rewarding the Tories who have been unapologetically aggressively anti Gaza

I can't disagree with the general thrust of any of the above posts Mart, but this is hardly civility in action.

Have I placed any of those comments at any single individual? No, there is no personal slight at any single person. The fact you can’t disagree with the substance means we are clearly talking conceptually about how being a Teesside Tory is evidence of self harm, seemingly caused by ignorance of the facts about Houchen

Doing something dumb, we’ve all done that, that doesn’t make someone stupid to the core

Political illiteracy, that’s not an insult it’s a statement of fact, we have technology-illiterate, economic-illiterate and I myself am love island illiterate.

I stand by my comments on refusing to vote Labour over Gaza knowing that it makes the Tory position stronger when they are far more hardline on Gaza, but maybe I should have worded it as “illogical” rather than “dumb”

Anyway, enough it’s bank holiday weekend, as someone pointed out, I’d like to enjoy it

I hope you do enjoy it (y)

Who to? Facebook chats and anonymous message boards don't count. If you want your opinions heard then you engage with the people who matter in the constituency.

instead of explaining why they might not be workable or practical or whatever, you once again just attack me personally.

Attack you personally? You're completely lacking in self awareness. You've previously labelled me a troll, a Tory shill, somebody not worth wasting monitor ink on and have proudly declared that you have me on ignore. Yet here you are 🤷‍♂️

I'm not needy in the slightest. I'm just able to recognise that the Teesside area is being and has been massively let down by the Labour Party. If you don't agree with that, feel free to explain why.

Everything comes from central government. You know that. Labour has not been in power for 14 years so what exactly did you expect from them?

Presumably you're including the years 2015 to 2019 in your sweeping, unsubstantiated statement.
 
Just waded through this thread. Just to say that I'm one of those pesky socialists who really get on LOTL's titz and even I voted for the Labour wet fart to do my bit in trying (and failing) to get rid of Houchen.
Morning. If you're going to 'talk' about me at least have the courtesy to tag me properly so I can reply while the discussion is onging (y)
