The motive has been suggested as political, by the comments from Leila Williams, and also her Labour counterpart.
Well your a feisty one.
These are the assumptions you appeared to be saying.
That's a familiar style of posting isn't it. Less typos etc, but.........
There are literally no assumptions in my post you've quoted - only questions and counter-points to assumptions.
Okay, the BBC wouldn't say anything. I banged an assumption in there but who wouldn't when he was in the motion of clearly supporting a party and a man attacks him?
Is it it just.
Nice. Think of the victim it's hardly a laughing matter, do you usually laugh at personally injury?
I've been following both Leila Williams (long standing local person) and young Tom (who will move here if he wins apparently - which he will) on social media since they were announced as candidates to see what they had to say, so I was aware of the attack shortly after it happened. Leila then said that they had taken the decision not to put any more posters or boards up as the risk was considered too high. I'm aware of previous issues locally during other elections - although didn't end up as bad as this attack (it was the boards etc that were attacked as opposed to the person putting them up).
From what I've read, it does seem as though the attack was related to the fact a local Conservative councillor was putting up a vote Conservative poster - possibly from what was said by the attacker. Quote below from Leila Williams...
It seems LIKELY, yes.
But no proof it was “certainly” from the left and a Corbyn supporter?
Well indeed. Have you not read the thread!?
Nice story, with plenty of open honesty in it, you can have my vote.
No. Obviously beating someone up is not banter. What is also obvious, is my reply specifically in response to your, highlighted, sentence about "defaced and smashed" boards.
Do you live in Kingston or Surbiton, then?Nice story, with plenty of open honesty in it, you can have my vote.
I will keep doing my research into my candidates right up to the last minute, one thing I have ruled out is voting for any bungee jumping party leaders. Can you imagine it!
Well that's okay then. Okay I didn't notice that, I don't get what your saying but I will take your word for it.
There's a recent history of some very left wing Labour councillors and members locally (during Corbyn's time). During the previous two elections I was aware of intimidatory behaviour from some of those individuals that loved having photos taken with Chris Williamson against those that would now be supporters of Keir Starmer. This resulted in some Labour councillors resigning. So it's not been a bed of roses in the Labour Party locally.
I jumped to some rather sweeping conclusions when I first opened the thread.
