If you watch the YouTube video on my thread. Redcar Steelworks Site you will learn more.

Cheers Jamie, This just makes ya blood boil.

Postmasters got jailed for a few thousands pounds, we are talking millions here and it’s being ignored.

What, pay a pound to read it, no thanks,
Are you a Labour Party member?

Cant wait for the tunnel under the Tees and the reopening of Greatham International Airport.

Boils my piss. Tories think they can do what they want

The Tories are useless, Labour will win. Labour are useless, the Tories will win..and so it goes on…… we need proportional representation.
How anyone can vote for these two baffles me.
The Liberal Democrats are a unfunny comedy sketch.

Until we have real accountability every fooker is useless.

There are several roads to glory in politics, some people stick to the same road.
Some look for the best way to get there and are willing to change roads to suit their journey….not the road.

When you get carefully selected candidates with Law, Accountancy, History, the Classics degrees and zero knowledge of the area they intend to represent, and in most cases zero knowledge of the real world, they're all just a waste of space. Out for themselves and f*ck everyone else.

To be fair, our MP is local and they’re just as bad.

Spot on. Unfortunately (as my history teacher told me back in the 80's) the last thing the Tories or Labour want is proportional representation. Because then people will have a real choice and they'll both be out of government.

How we can call the systems in the UK and USA democracy when you only have two choices and they're both shite beats me.

It’s free to watch on YouTube Snowy not unless you pay advert free,nothing to do with being a Labour supporter, are you happy 2 people leased land at a £1 an acre then trousered £50 million profit in a year leasing it on, you need to catch up on this story as it’s being buried by the right wing media because Lord Houchen is behind it.
Read about it here Snowy,

The Steelworks story reads very similar to the Teesside Development Corporation where millions were unaccounted for both under Tory led governments.

totally agree and i think more people would vote if that was the case. i,m sure everyone could find a party to support instead of tactical voting or just abstaining.

The right wing press some Murdoch owned determine/influence which party to vote for, if they all supported the Green Party, Reform U.K. etc one of them would win the election.

I watched a bit of an interview with that weasel faced Gove saying what a good chap Houchen is - it made you want to puke.

No they wouldn’t most people vote the same all their life, some don’t even think about it, it’s a knee jerk choice for life.
The floating voter decides who wins.
I voted Blair in, but after Iraq and the PFI scandal I voted him out, because I am a floating voter.

surely though with less people buying papers their influence cannot be as strong as it once was. do not even pick em up to read in the barbers anymore.

think many including me are like that and voted similarly. always voted labour in general elections but tory in local ones as i found them less eager to spend spend spend on local vanity projects for minorities.

So if one of these people wanted to invest in Pools would you take a hissy and reject their offer or go all tickle belly …. ?
Yes or No.

Yes a bunch of crooks, we have had enough crooks running Pools and none of them for the benefit of the club.

So let’s get this straight you’d tell em to bugger off.

Boots on the ground info from lads working there is the 2 weigh bridges putting a tariff on the scrap removed (millions of tonns) were set up and put into the hands of Ben Houchens friend . Houchen is a public servant on 80k a year but is now a multi millionaire the area is being asset stripped for the greedy few, Good to see there nor getting there own way on that access road.

It took a TV programme to bring to light the plight of the Post Office personnel with no political connections but cases like the PPE Scandal, the failed Track and Trace System and now the Steelworks all which involve people with political connections very rarely make front page news ?
