#FreeTheNorth 13:19 - Apr 15 with 2767 views | Darth_Koont | Had a quick gander and looks to be some great evidence-based policies in this manifesto that can regenerate many marginalised regions and communities around the UK. Not just Hartlepool and Northumbria. And makes a refreshing change from the helpless inevitability of “market forces” as a way to fail people and society. |  |

#FreeTheNorth on 14:48 - Apr 15 by Darth_Koont | Haha! So they blocked you too? I like them more and more. But it’s funny you take their manifesto as purely motivated by some cultish devotion to Corbyn. I know the concept of policies and a desire for a better society are a bit alien to your view of politics but don’t judge everyone by your own standards. |
Unfortunately it smacks of the old Trotskyist guff about taking the workers to the barricades so demonstrate that capitalism cannot work in their interests - an enlightened cadre if leaders is needed to lead the revolution Guess who that small elite will be The faults with the present system should be blindingly obvious, but the answer is not trying to pull the wool over voters eyes with simplistic and misleading answers. |  | |  |

You don’t have to be logged in to read Twitter and post links as my OP shows. But well done for evading the net if so. I thought all Gnasher followers were automatically blocked. |  |

#FreeTheNorth on 14:41 - Apr 15 by GlasgowBlue | I think this tweet from their Brighton based leader sums them up. NIP are a bunch of embittered old Corbynites who would rather see the Tories win in Hartlepool to get one over on “Keith”. [Post edited 15 Apr 2021 14:51]

I rarely know what side you’re on or whether you’re serious. Are you taking the p1ss out of Glassers or railing against the NIP here? |  |

There’s an element of truth in it. What does/did Blair stand for? Neoliberalism, imperialism, a smattering of social justice ... but what’s Blairism then beyond pitching right to try and neutralize classic Tory positions? It doesn’t actually add up to anything and Labour’s been shedding voters since 1997 as a result. |  |

Blair got in because people were just simply fed up with the old grey Tories, he didn't really have to do much apart from show a bit of enthusiasm and shout from the rooftops that they were "New Labour" Funny when you look back, that they essentially had to re-brand to make themselves electable. |  |

Agreed. Which is basically the pitch he gave Murdoch. It also relied on taking the traditional Labour support along for the ride. But it’s a move that could only work over a period and then you lose support when they realize you’re just the same politicians wearing a different colour tie. If Thatcher’s self-proclaimed greatest achievement was Blair, then Blair’s was giving us Cameron and Clegg who were barely indistinguishable from him in their shallow outlook on politics. |  |

Quite. Would have joined them if not for that. More ivory tower "pure socialism" fantasists, who are more interested in fighting left of centre moderates than the current corupt bunch of Tory crims. |  |

“Left of centre moderates”!!!?? These people are lowhouse but with their actual hands on the controls of one of only two electoral options at national level. It’s like calling Johnson, Cummings et al right of centre moderates and ignoring what they are really all about. Power. |  |

#FreeTheNorth on 13:37 - Apr 15 by Darth_Koont | Yes, I expect many of the same policies would apply. And your residency rule does sound interesting if also applied to Scottish Independence and Westminster politicians. On balance, I’d agree to that. |
Well it would be a bit odd to be a big advocate of Scottish Independence but to live elsewhere in the UK. |  |

no need for the name check. i'll leave you as the loudest mouth in the sixth form common room to bang on as per usual. |  |

And vice versa surely? Ultimately it’s the people who live there who decide. But depending on family, I’d certainly be tempted to move back and be part of an independent Scotland. Could be an exciting time to be part of building a country’s future (rather than propping up its past and present all the time). |  |

Yeah, they tried the antisemitism smear. So they were blocked for being awful bullying trolls. And then they responded by being awful bullying trolls who blamed being blocked on antisemitism despite many not being Jewish at all. 😀 Always fun when people demonstrate exactly what you thought they were. |  |

Does Brighton need regenerating though? [Post edited 15 Apr 2021 17:24]
