So much for Democracy!

We are talking about the Left here, 'democracy' isn't a word in their vocabulary.

//It came as 50,000 demonstrators were expected to descend on Manchester this weekend at the start of the Tory conference in the city. A £2million police operation is planned across the four days.
Party delegates arriving by rail tomorrow evening will be greeted by Left-wing activists as part of an ‘unwelcome the Tories flash mob’.
Two big protest marches – one anti-austerity, the other anti-Brexit – involving an estimated total of 50,000 demonstrators are planned for the opening day of the conference on Sunday.
And as Theresa May gives her speech on Wednesday, anti-austerity groups have pledged to create a wall of sound around the conference centre using pots, pans, drums, whistles and megaphones.
The warnings about hard-Left intimidation come just days after Labour was branded ‘the new nasty party’ following anti-Semitism at its Brighton conference.//

Here you are Kromo.....seeing as how you appear to keep missing this bit of the article that Linda kindly posted. Take a hundred lines...."I must try to be more sociable"

One thing that annoyed me at the Labour conference was their slogan of "For the many not the few" making out that the Tories only care about a few "rich" people.

Yet at the last election 13.6 million voted Tory and 12.8 million voted labour.

I would hardly call 13.6 million "the few".

People who vote Tory know they would rather trust them to "look after" the country than Labour.

[Davemano]

^^^^That's quite true Guilbert. They obviously remember that every time Labour leaves government, it leaves the country almost bankrupt.

Yes, I was responding to Naomi's post about the gin evening. What exactly is the problem with people protesting the governing party?

[Gromit]

Just looked at Tameside Conservative's Facebook page and there is not one single comment about the event having to be cancelled because of left wing threats. In fact the comments are full of members saying they will not be going to the £15 a head fundraising event in a city centre bar. Not one single post from any member saying they were going.
A more likely senario is that they didn't have enough bookings to pay for the room hire.

Tameside Conservatives' HQ is in Stalybridge, about 7 miles from Manchester. Would it have been easier to just change the fundraising venue to a local premises, and not disappoint the hordes of Tories wanting to hand over their cash ?

(Oh, and Tameside is hadly a hotbed of Toryism. The council has 57 seats, and you could fit the entire Conservative Councillors in a black cab).

Yes Dave. Blair took o ear a health budget surplus in 1997. By the time Brown left we were a basket case with a debt which will take years to clear. And Corbyn want to take us even more in debt. Remember there are more people in work and off benefits and "Project Fear" never happened.

[Kromovaracun]

Just to insert some facts - the Conservative Party have consistently been the biggest borrowers when in government for over 70 years. Labour governments have also repaid more debt, more often than their opponents over the same period:

// Blair took [over] r a health budget surplus in 1997 //

Not sure that is true, but if it is, but not spending money allocated to the NHS is hardly something to be crowing about. If true, it was a disgrace.

that's interesting, Kromovaracun. Maybe it should be made a sticky in the News section.

Gromit, I think that's a typo for healthy

[mikey4444]

Gromit and Kromo...stop confusing the Usual Suspects with inconvenient facts.

[Gromit]

There was no Health Service surplus in 1997. But the Conservative Government had made a cut in Health Service spending 1996-97, but they were out of power before the year was up.

[Gromit]

// Growth in spending has varied over time. Figure 5.2 shows the annual real growth rate in each financial year (deflating using a measure of economy-wide inflation). Real changes varied across individual years, ranging from an increase of 10.6% in 2003–04 to a cut of 1.8% in 1977–78. There have been only four years in the last 60 in which real cuts took place (1977–78, 1989–90, 1996–97 and 2011–12). With the exception of 1977–78, when health spending fell by 1.8% as part of widespread cuts to public expenditure (total managed expenditure fell in real terms by a total of 4.3% between 1976–77 and 1978–794) following a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), no annual cut in UK health spending has exceeded 0.5%. //

It was Linda who was the original poster and link provider. You really don't read in any detail do you? The post was not about a "Gin Evening" was it?
//Renta Mob To Disrupt Tory Conference// ........Headline to post.

No one is objecting to protest, it is the baying mob mentality that is under scrutiny. You know the type of thing that the left abhor.............if it suits their twisted mindset. :))

[Peter Pedant]

yeah you can do a gin round poss up in Manchester = even if you are not a tory

idea is to get people to come in for a drink or two or three or four
good value for money they say

quite fun apparently

[Kromovaracun]

The main subject of the pressreader link in the OP is a gin evening that was "disrupted" by people on the internet. It's right there in big letters above the core text. The article then goes on to essentially say that there is a protest happening - i.e. context added by the journalist because the story they are focusing on has no more content.

[Kromovaracun]

//No one is objecting to protest//

Well...

[Peter Pedant]

// // Blair took [over] r a health budget surplus in 1997 // //

I was there and he didnt

it is a bit like saying there was a skoolz budget surplus then as well.
Hey hold one the results were terrible so what were they doing not spending all the money they were allocated ? and if they had - then would more kids be able to read ?

[Peter Pedant]

// The post was not about a "Gin Evening" was it? //

yeah the one I read was that they had cancelled almighty poss up and gin drinking session because those awful unwashed smelly lefties were gonna chant near them whilst they quaffed

and chant - "we will break your legs and rape you!"
and throw cheap gin in their faces whilst shouting
"Acid ! Acid!"

like I read in the DM those awful corbinites do
jesus what party poopers those awful proles are !
