14 December - Labour losers and Conservatives losers

ScreenshotThere are many good and decent people in the Labour movement, I am certain of that because I know some of them but it also attracts the worst of humanity. It’s always been that way, my earliest political memories are of their wall slogan daubers and public realm defacers and it shaped my party outlook from an early age.

I used to think that it was because uneducated people were enthusiasts for a something for nothing society but I was hopelessly wrong. There are videos out there right now of trainee doctors wishing cancer on the Prime Minister. Words fail me. Unless the Labour Party can rid themselves of such people they will be finished and deservedly so.

The Tweet alongside attracted a few hundred likes. For reporting facts with 100% accuracy and without comment whatsoever I was charged with a criminal offence; what will the police do about Amelia?

I can’t imagine how a candidate who has put her heart and soul into combatting the Amelias of this world and losing must feel. Maybe the trainee doctors guaranteed the Labour hold in Canterbury.

There are 32,000 university students in Canterbury and Conservative candidate Anna Firth, late of this parish, lost out to their juvenile views.

Ironically she may have done better in Erith and Thamesmead where the Labour vote collapsed. 10,014 more votes than the Conservatives in 2017 and 3,758 more last Thursday.

The Conservatives did not announce their 2019 candidate until Nomination Day and I never heard from him, never saw him. In 2015 Anna Firth was banging on my door four months before the election and you could hardly go a day without seeing her pictured fixing fly tips.

The local Conservative Association simply didn’t try and for their electoral failure I suspect Councillors Philip Read and John Davey are to blame.

Labour supporting student.
