Do we really want Scobie????

Dismal Labour and other thoughts on Thanet general election

Is this the most depressing election ever, despite all the assurances to the contrary, I'm sure any rational person has dismissed the idea that Ed Milliband is tough enough, or that his retched crew of no good charlatans are up to governing.

I've had little time to study the form of Thanet's contestants in the race to parliament, however sad as it is Thanet North will only ever see Gale displaced by the passage of time, good knows why but that is how it is.

Thanet South is certainly s mixed bag the best candidate being Russ Timpson, and i don't just say that because he's the liberal democrat, certainty otherwise the choice is dismal, the Tory  previously a UKIP man,  of the rest Ian Driver the Green candidate is the only other stand out man, if for nothing else exposing some of the less than wholesome activities and shocking events of the local council.

Will Scobie has for me shown himself to be the surprise non-entity, the best so far from him appears to be, that desperate plea for people to vote tactically, a tactic deplored generally by mediocre politicians who've little or nothing to offer.

It seems such waste, still finally we've the UKIP party leader, Nigel Farage it's difficult to comment on, since the media in general and state funded BBC journalist in particular have been busting their balls to discredit and demonize Farage ever since the European elections.

I think Thanet south electorate have a real choice and if anything it's wide open, they can act like sheep and be herded up like sheep by Labours young inexperienced Will Scobie, (who as I understand has rarely if ever had a real job that didn't involve working for the labour party) , or they could go for some of the exotic, perhaps the passionate "man of the people" Ian Driver, maybe the voters of Thanet could, dare I say it challenge the media bigotry and vote for Farage because if no else, he at least has had the courage to question and raise the concerns of those who would like Britain to be a sovereign country not ruled from Germany.

Finally you could make a completely rational choice and vote Liberal Democrat, and acknowledge the accomplishments of the liberals in government, lower tax, better opportunity's for children and real help for children from poor backgrounds, or why not just go mad and vote for the know nothing & no experience Scobie, despite all the doors and orchestrated rise to labour parliamentary candidate, ask yourself this what has young will achieved. Errrrr.....

    1. Are you worried about Local Craig bussing some Hungarians over on tax credits and getting your railway tunnel dug before you get out of bed Tony?

    2. Interestingly Scobies candidate papers are signed by Mark Nottingham the former councillor and Mary Honeyball clerk. No doubt his Dad and funded by Lord Oakeshott means the political village...

    3. Looks like Nottingham got Scobie a job with Honeyball at the EU for a year. Maybe an elected Will could help Nottingham in future? Safe seat somewhere?

  3. At least Young Will keeps his bedroom tidy and is not illegal like Cunninham or lives in Brussels..

  4. Media bigotry against Farage? Then why has the Daily Express given ukip £1m? Even for you this us silly nonsense Tony...

    1. The Mirror amongst others promoted the news that the sick and evil IAN Brady child murderer supported Farage.

      Let's face it the BBC has conspired not report migration in any meaningful way until the full damage has been done, even worse surrender of UK sovereignty.

      Delete
    2. Yes there was no reporting of the Med refugee deaths until recently but net migration is often discussed. And often only Ukip negativity rather than its success.

      How exactly has Uk lost sovereignty to the Big Bad EU when we vote and fund it and even have Ukippers there to defend our interests?

      Racist froth again Tony

    3. Tony likes to throw the word 'bigot' around, although he doesn't seem to know it's meaning and could easily have the word used against him for his past, unsavoury, attacks on the unemployed, public sector workers, migrants etc.

      Just because sections of the media report negative news stories about UKIP doesn't make them bigoted you old fool! In that respect the other political parties are subjected to as much "bigotry."

      It seems like you pick up a lot of your ideas from the hard/far right as I've read similar nonsense to the stuff you spout on various sites where you're likely to find racist and xenophobic boneheads. Try thinking for yourself in future Tone.

    4. Migrants are wonderful Tony we need more of them in an ageing society and to replace unskilled or too expensive uk workers. Strangely Timson supports population controls which was roundly condemned...you agree?

      Delete
    5. Russ Timpson did mention population control, not sure why or even whether it was roundly condemned, I understand some religious persuasion endorse/prohibit all sorts of things, clearly the catholic church are against as are some of the more barbaric who also endorse everything from slavery murder to FMG and worse as we've seen on our news this last year.

      To forcibly stop people having children would be wrong in any circumstances however many already act responsibly having just the children we can provided for, clearly it would be unethical to force birth control, still to have children with no means of providing is irresponsible

    7. Maybe Russ disagrees with you Tony what are his population control views? It certainly doesn't feature in his manifesto

  5. The Libdems did nothing in Coalition except uturn on tuition fees and bedroom tax. And will be decimated as a result. Nonentities like Russ and Cunningham may not even keep their deposit. Cunningham is standing illegally as a civil servant and living in Brussels Tony?

    1. Mr Cunningham has a legal right to stand as you well know.

      As for what have the Libdems done, helped save the country after Labour left us bankrupt, cut personal tax, helped childrens education, and applied the brakes on the more savage tory tendencies, On tution Labour made a big bally hoo and what are they promising I think they quietly mumble something about shaving a small percentage, Ask Scobot

      Delete
    2. What is the legak right Tony? He is banned as a civil servant isn't he? And also for living in Brussels?

      Helped children's education by imposing tuition fees?

      You seem on a sticky wicket with both these points. Isn't Cunninham as an EU fatcat everything you hate? What will the EU enbassy to Taiwan be doing funded by us?

      Delete
    3. "helped save the country after Labour left us bankrupt"

      Financial crisis of 2007 was Labour's fault was it? Best tell that to all the Economics experts out there who blame it on the banking sector and financial institutions...and no, Labour didn't leave us bankrupt - if you believe that drivel then how come the Tories have borrowed more in the last 5 years than every single Labour administration in history? Are the Tories making us "more bankrupt?"

      As for the LibDems applying "the brakes on the more savage tory tendencies": does that include bedroom tax, tax cuts for the rich, wage stagnation, austerity measures that are harming the average worker; billions paid out in housing benefit because the Tories limited working tax credits, the harshest benefits regime in history which is literally driving people to suicide..etc,etc. Good old LibDems!

      Delete
    4. So would Labour end the bedroom tax and tuition fees and benefits sanctions? Even legislate the Living Wage?

  6. So, you're objections to Will Scobie rest on his not having had a "proper job" and the fact that he's 24 years of age. Nothing to do with his policies or that he's got a pretty good grounding in Politics.

    Just shows the empty, superficial way you think Tone!

    Of course we should be voting for the likes of man-of-the-people Nigel Farage, who had a "proper" job playing around with other people's money in the city before jumping on the gravytrain as an ineffective MEP. He knows just what it's like to live like the rest of us plebs does Our Nige.

    1. 16:41 Tony is right that Scobies inexperience mark him out as the wrong person for MP. We need fewer professional politicians. Will cant explain supporting the Parkway but not Manston except as some cleverdick wordplay. He is silent on the Port and Pleasurama corruption.

      Delete
    2. 16:48 Scobie's inexperience is not in the shape of lack of Political nous though is it? What's wrong with people studying and then going straight into politics? If you think that they are somehow unaware of the world around them then I think you're either deluded or just parroting the tabloids.

      We've had plenty of crap politicians who worked in the "real world" before going into politics, one John Prescott springs to mind. Then there's all those barristers and lawyers like our beloved Maggie T.

      This piffle about politicians needing to work in "proper jobs" has absolutely no grounding in reality. I'd rather someone who went to Grammar/Comp, knows the local area and how it ticks and has a good idea of the way politics works than a bus driver with no formal education or an ex-public schoolboy, whose working life consisted of working in the rarefied environment of The City or The Law.

    3. 16:48 what utter rot. Scobie has no experience of life beyond a politics degree. And all his political work so far as Tony points out has been orchestrated by Daddy Scobie. And Will has done nothing except accumulate meaningless political job titles to now attempt to be MP. I agree we need fewer lawyers in politics but that's no argument for Scobie - he can't even say what his Thanet policies are nor speak out on the TDC corruption he is a part of.

      Delete
    4. Scobie is not corrupt he just darednt speak out against Ramsgate Labour and the Port etc. Daddy won't want him upsetting his mates.

      Delete
    5. Scobie kept silent on Drivers arrest over Pleasurama and now annouces £3m from the sale...but won't say what the valuation is nor what proportion is the £3m. Hardly a political genius and more a young patsy for the older councilors

      Delete
    6. Craig is silent on Pleasurama and the BVi tax haven. As an accountant like Bayford he must have a view on public funds secretly going offshore?

      Delete
    7. 16 41 Lets make this simple HAS WILL SCOBIE EVER HAD A REAL JOB THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE POLITICS?

      Delete
    8. Stop shouting Tone!

      What's not having a "REAL JOB" got to be with being a politician? And what exactly is a "REAL JOB?"

      Delete
    9. 17:39 "what utter rot. Scobie has no experience of life beyond a politics degree."

      That's an unbelievably daft statement to make, just think about what you wrote before shouting "utter rot" at others.

      Delete
    10. 20:36 and 20:41 are struggling to tell us what Scobie has done except politics. And that largely orchestrated by his councillor father. Tell us what else this political giant has done.

      Delete
    11. Scobie has done the following, become Mayor for no apparent reason, kept his mouth shut during each an every crisis Millions given away Ramsgate port, seafront property sales, done nothing for jobs except as in "jobs for the boys" in the labour sense

      Delete
    12. Thanet Labour seems to have fallen apart with the withdrawal of the Everitt£3m Pleasurama election leaflet and Harrisons hilarious backstabbing of his former comrades
