"Three days until you can vote in the biggest set of elections our country has ever had outside of a General Election.

Find out here what elections are in your area - and where to vote."

Says SKS.

A good read - uncomfortable for some but a good read all the same.

Perhaps a few will also consider:

"But the ability to listen well is a rare and difficult skill. The great German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer, who devoted his intellectual career to the art of understanding what others mean, defined it beautifully. The good listener, said Gadamer, “does not go about identifying the weaknesses of what another person says in order to prove that one is always right, but one seeks instead, as far as possible, to strengthen the other’s viewpoint so that what the other person has to say becomes illuminating”.

Nadine dorries has claimed the Tories have created 180,000 full time jobs in hartlepool.

The actual population of hartlepool is 90,000.

Hats off to them...some going that.

Your support of Brexit is admirable but global economics and global strategic alliances have made the UK’s membership of a large trading bloc more important now, than it was in the 1970’s when post-war economic realities triggered us joining the EEC then.

I think that there will be Brexit “win” stories presented in a way that anything but disaster, will be a success. There may also be good news stories as there will be bad news stories but focusing on individual issues, rather than the direction of travel will be pointless.

If you consider that if the people who have now been betrayed by Brexit had voted for their self interest and protected their livelihoods instead of voting for an intangible concept... Brexit would not have happened - and we are only 5 months into Brexit.

Fast forward 5 years as the poster above has said and it is fairly reasonable to assume that there may be quite a few more disgruntled people around. This again is why it seems like a fair bet that after five years or so, the Government, the people and the EU will probably have had enough of never ending Brexit related negotiations as the U.K. tries to protect its interests in the face of an overbearing and massively superior neighbour on the doorstep.

The next big timeline moment is when the U.K. decides to implement border controls on imports and/or if the next DUP Leader decides to be a gargantuan pain in the ass - whichever comes first.

If what you put in your post is the actual claim (180,000 jobs in the area) then the population is not the limiting factor. You don't have to be a resident of the area to work there. I work outside my home town in a small community where the amount of jobs is at least 4 times the population

The current rate of unemployment in hartlepool is 9%

So nearly 1 in 10 people is out of work for there are currently 2 jobs for every man, woman.and child in hartlepool.

If you refer back to my first 2 posts you will see I am sceptical about the claim. What I have said is its possible as you do not need to live in the area to work there. I have also given an example using my own situation.

See even if SKS had sent that tweet I would have said it reads as 180 thousands jobs 'generally'.

As she does mention 'jobs in Hartlepool' just before she says 180 thousand jobs. Now in my English lessons at school I was taught that a mention of an item in the past in the same paragraph meant, for the reader, that it wasn't to be included in the present when mentioned again.

And she doesn't say they have 'built a Freeport' either. She says 'along with a Freeport. Which is entirely true.

So creative reporting and re-reporting all around I guess.

And that is the ridiculousness in all of this hand-wringing and angst.

If people vote in local elections as a means of passing their verdict on the current governance of the country, then they ought to be banned from voting until they understand the difference between local elections and a general election.

Local elections should solely be about local issues. That’s it.

Sadly. What you what and what you get are often entirely different things.

And as the elections are also being reported as being about the handling of the pandemic it seems it is also about nationwide issues.

But maybe you need to understand that voters aren't as stupid as you keep reporting them to be. Emily Thornberry called voters 'stupid' and look where she ended up.

I might also add - 'Governance of this country' includes all those at a local level too. A Labour Run Council will be run with differing political motivations that would a Conservative run council and vis-versa.

The last episode of Line of Duty was not actually a disappointment when we all know that Buckles had been threatened in prison. The media got so hyped at H / the fourth man being named that the ending was a perceived disappointment. But according to the storyline - this is obviously far from over.

Similarly, when the media are telling us incessantly what the local elections are about and they seem to suggest that they are a litmus test of current governance - it might not be a surprise if a lot of people started to believe it.

If voters aren’t as stupid as I infer - perhaps you could answer a question?

Why is the current Conservative Government still ahead in the polls when they are led by a pathological liar whose entire life has been a catalogue of untrustworthy behaviour?

I think that there can be only one reason and that is the same reason that the Republican Party in America has gained traction with some of the poorest, poorly educated and disadvantaged people in America. Identity politics in the form of Nationalism is enabling Conservative politicians here and in America to win votes from the lowest demographic groups by disguising their economic ideology behind Nationalism.

I don’t really give a shot whether you think that I should not be saying that a proportion of voters are stupid because they absolutely clearly and obviously are. You only get blinded by lies and Nationalist nonsense if you are stupid and only stupid people prefer three word slogans over competency.

The last episode of Line of Duty was not actually a disappointment when we all know that Buckles had been threatened in prison. The media got so hyped at H / the fourth man being named that the ending was a perceived disappointment. But according to the storyline - this is obviously far from over.

Similarly, when the media are telling us incessantly what the local elections are about and they seem to suggest that they are a litmus test of current governance - it might not be a surprise if a lot of people started to believe it.

If voters aren’t as stupid as I infer - perhaps you could answer a question?

Why is the current Conservative Government still ahead in the polls when they are led by a pathological liar whose entire life has been a catalogue of untrustworthy behaviour?

I think that there can be only one reason and that is the same reason that the Republican Party in America has gained traction with some of the poorest, poorly educated and disadvantaged people in America. Identity politics in the form of Nationalism is enabling Conservative politicians here and in America to win votes from the lowest demographic groups by disguising their economic ideology behind Nationalism.

I don’t really give a shot whether you think that I should not be saying that a proportion of voters are stupid because they absolutely clearly and obviously are. You only get blinded by lies and Nationalist nonsense if you are stupid and only stupid people prefer three word slogans over competency."

that's very easy to answer there is no credible opposition with any credible policies, simple really and a much better argument than people are stupid because they dont vote the way you do.

The explanation that northern working class people are voting Tory, because of the labour party, is a little flawed.

Blimey, that was January 2020 Thornberry said she was suing Flint. No news since. Love to know what’s going on there.

I don't have an explanation.

Ive no idea why they find it's a great plan to vote for the lying buffoon.

But if they didnt vote for corbys cos he was too left win g And they wont vote for starmer because he has moved to the centre,then I'd suggest The issue isnt really with labour.

Also the idea that they not voting labour based on policy is also flawed, as we dont know what their policy is yet

In hartlepool they have a baby bank.

This is for people who have had a kid and are struggling to buy nappies etc they can go there and be helped out.

In 2021,in one of the richest countries on the planet, they have cities like hartlepool where people are actually struggling to look after their newborn.

As a protest against the gmnt who have allowed this situation to develop, they are going to vote for them again.

Hartlepool has the highest rate of council tax in the country proportionate to the value of property, and yet Labour councillors have voted against freezing council tax but did vote for a 30.8% rise in their allowances .

You genuinely couldn't make it up!

Baby banks are numerous, not just exclusive to the town of Hartlepool.

Probably over 150 nationwide, they are run as charities.

Population is 90k take out children, housewives/ husbands and pensioners so working population maybe 30k at a push. So 6 times that commute into the area for “newly created” jobs?? Oh dear is this £350 million on the bus maths??
