Yes, I should have amplified. Tory MPs seem to be happy to avoid rocking the boat, finding some morals and pushing out Spaffer. Better to attempt to ride it out and leave him in place through and beyond the next scheduled election. A new leader brings a danger of them seeking a fresh personal mandate, and before the backlash from this episode has diminished. Some also believe Spaffer has sufficient 'qualities' that significantly enhance electoral prospects. A personal cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Party comes first with these parasites, always. Then it's their own interests. Then it's the interests of their friends, family and donors. Then it's the interests of foreign oligarchs. Then and only then is the interest of the voting public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadj Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 @I P Knightley my apologies , been busy this week and he has now been charged in connection with the incident too…. To appear in court at a later date. https://www.thenational.scot/news/20059008.scottish-tories-suspend-robbie-withey-candidate-throat-grab-video/ Not a fan of the national but the words of what was said are accurate. BBC version A candidate standing for election to Aberdeenshire Council has been charged in connection with a disturbance in a village. Police Scotland said a 41-year-old man was expected to appear in court at a later date following an incident in Alford, Aberdeenshire, on Saturday. It is understood to be Robbie Withey, who is seeking re-election next month. The Scottish Conservatives said they could not comment on an active court case. An 18-year-old man was also charged.

Oz set up their immigration centre on Nauru over 20 years ago. Their illegal immigration numbers have continued to soar, to the extent that they have almost doubled over the past 5 years alone. So, this horrendously expensive and probably illegal strategy does not work. This is just more political guff from our own Junta to appease the U.K. racists, which is yet another complete waste of (our) taxpayers money.
