Ah but he's rich you see. Richer than anyone else on NSC by his own claim. So the fact he's a class A turd matters not.There's something very unsavoury about this character. Racist and other discriminatory "jokes" aside, a smug brassneck

What are they suspended for - do you know? I must say, you do seem very willing to get onboard with this...which is fair enough.It makes you wonder how this Cllr and her relative got into the selection process in the first place seeing as 1) She was from Leicester and apparently still lives there and 2) Was sacked from her previous job for fraud, which was upheld by an appeals judge.
Was the decision really taken out of local hands and dealt with by the regional party??

Keir Starmer himself could be found holding a blood covered knife, standing over the body of a corpse, screaming “I did it, it was me, and I’ll do it again” and within three comments someone will still find a way to blame the Tories…
Shambles - needs a bi-election and some new non Labour local Councillors!
I see this @Bognor Seagull post has two likes….are they @Steve Foster and his third account?The only reason we sussed Bognor Seagull is that you used that account to start the prediction thread on one occasion.
Did you give your “minor child” permission to do that?
Oh, and your “minor” seems to be old enough to have voted three years ago.

As said before, you were the one who first brought the Tories into it - although, you were probably right, it would likely have headed there anyway - it was hardly going to avoid politics completely though, not when the story is about two elected members of the Council - However, your original point that threads turn into Tory bashing wasn’t ‘lost’ - 3 people at least responded to it and then moved on and you had numerous likes for your comments so they didn’t go unnoticed but ‘your point’ wasn’t the central theme of the thread - in fact this entire thread since has been largely about one Tory Councillor rather than Tory or Labour Party politics - hardly people being “partisan wankers’ when the issues aren’t anything to do with politics but rather the suitability of the Councillors mentioned in this thread to be public servants/serve on the Council. Perhaps because there is very little to discuss on the original topic, it’s gone on a bit.This thread was about two Labour councillors - but then partisan wankers from all sides got involved and my original point was lost in party politics by the same handful of nutters who think nuance is a young woman who looks after kids.
Any chance of keeping it on topic?
Not reading that.

People aren’t attacking Steve Foster for being a Tory but for his history of racist jokes.
And it is open season on the Tories when 46% of an electorate sample would vote Labour and 25% Tory if there was a GE tomorrow - Tory support is at it’s lowest for 18 years - even if the polls favoured the Government, it should always be ‘open season’ on any Government- that’s called democratic accountability to the electorate…
(That’s not me being a ‘partisan wanker’ btw, just stating facts)
Why have you designed this comment to make it look like something untoward has happened ? I think that is an awful thing to do.Cllr Les Hamilton stepped down abruptly & now two further Labour councillors suspended - ouch!
Still your Conservative Councillor supporting BHA fan is still here! I was asked to give a speech at council tomorrow as the club have been granted freedom of the city. But I will be on a plane to Greece. Always happy to talk politics on the plane or preferably BHA.
......not forgetting his snide attempt to dishonestly cast aspersions on the character of a Councillor who has devoted 52 years of exemplary and unblemished service, when by comparison "Steve (Ivan) Foster" managed to soil his own reputation and bring disgrace upon himself before he was even elected as a Councillor, thus delaying his own political aspirations by four years when he was forced to abruptly step down as a candidate in disgrace in 2019.........People aren’t attacking Steve Foster for being a Tory but for his history of racist jokes......
I have a horrible feeling, labour might have some deeper issues that might be brought to the fore by the media just prior to any election and they may implode.Let him have his day in the sun, the Conservative party are going to look like a very different entity in a years time.
I'm not sure how good that is for democracy, but after torching this country for over a decade the electorate knows they need some time out.
These issues in Brighton at a local level won't even register at the next election.
Possibly. However much of the noise coming out about the Labour side is from Corbyn supporters annoyed at Starmer's zero tolerance.StarI have a horrible feeling, labour might have some deeper issues that might be brought to the fore by the media just prior to any election and they may implode.
Anyways both parties are pretty shite to be honest.
10 and a half lines of text is too long for you to read?Not reading that. TL;dr please?
What I would say this this @Steve Foster character does himself no favours by being here based on his output in this thread. He isn’t exactly winning hearts and minds.
It’s like my slap-down post…
Keir Starmer himself could be found holding a blood covered knife, standing over the body of a corpse, screaming “I did it, it was me, and I’ll do it again” and within three comments someone will still find a way to blame the Tories…
…was taken as an invitation for Tories to attack Labour. Tories are constantly involved in sleaze. Not least from the bloody current sitting government!!
I appreciate your party is in bits, but this is minor compared to your government’s constant f*** ups.
My point was more generally that there are more enough threads here slagging the Tory government, their ideals, and everything members here can think of. Just because the opposition have messed up (which they have HUGELY in the past and will in the future) it isn’t open season.
This thread was about two Labour councillors - but then partisan wankers from all sides got involved and my original point was lost in party politics by the same handful of nutters who think nuance is a young woman who looks after kids.

.......and for which he evidently feels no shame or remorse..... even after having had four years to reflect.............People aren’t attacking Steve Foster for being a Tory but for his history of racist jokes......
Yes, it’s almost as if he is deliberately inviting ad hominen attacks so he can blame it on him being a target because he is a Tory Councillor. There are some very fine lines being trod here, not least implying there is something inordinate about a retiring councillor by associating their retirement with 2 alleged fraudulent councillors........and for which he evidently feels no shame or remorse..... even after having had four years to reflect...
