Lets face it, Brighton are just lucky.

It would be impossible to tell anymore

Brighton is the most dirty and disgusting it has ever been,pavements covered with beggars,litter,piss and sick.The bypass looks a complete mess and caravans on any unguarded green space.Its a mess and not getting better.

Well that's not the image I see when I'm in Brighton.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Ain't she married to an ex rugby player?

To have Caroline Lucas as an MP.
So impressed with her tonight,and for some time, if she was leader of a party that stood a chance of winning I would at least know where my X is going.
There are a few decent MP's out there, how come they never seem to get into a position to lead the country.
Or am I wrong, Brightonians will know far more than me.

The 'Friday Night Drinking' thread is tomorrow mate, but judging by that post you've started already!
Unless you are starting a 'Thursday Night Drug Taking' thread?

Some of Brighton are lucky, yes. We've had Simon Kirby over this side. Hopefully we'll be seeing the back of him.

Meanwhile over on Question Time Jonathan Bartley, the co-leader of the Greens, is talking a darn load more sense than either the labour or tory person. For that matter Charles Moore and Vince Cable also talk huge amounts of sense than either of the people who will actually form a government. Why do we get the wrong people representing us all the time? (rhetorical)

I assume you disapprove.

Cricketer, he played for Warwickshire. I hope she doesn't go around telling the people of Brighton that he's a bear.

bloody hope so- he's utterly useless. Fortunately has a small majority though and with libs dems/greens not running we should see him lose his seat to Labour

how I wish we had someone like Lucas over here, she's an excellent MP

I was going to say that too. Firstly Caroline Lucas and now Jonathan Bartley, have I missed something as I tend to concentrate on the main parties.

Possibly as it is easy to pop out idealistic soundbites knowing that you will not have to back them up financially. I would love a world where we all sit around plaiting daisies into each others' hair. Ain't gonna happen.

That is very true, but they both have something about them that makes you like them and listen to them with no pre conceptions that you hate the party they lead, which was pretty much my point in the first place.

But actually whats happening is that the Tory and the Labour are popping out idealistic soundbites with nonsense financial backing, whereas Bartley, Moore and Cable are talking in depth, with nuance, understanding and positive suggestions to make a change (from very different standpoints of course).

If your idea of a perfect world is people with flowers in their hair, then good for you, and I think you should work harder to achieve it. I think everyone should work harder to make the world a better place and not settle for the shite we get dished up.

Thought I was being a bit ambiguous to keep people guessing...but looks like you sussed it...well played mate!

PS...glad to see someone can still actually get when it's a piss taking response and respond in same vein without getting all uppity and 'offended' !

which of these are the responsibility of an MP and which are the responsibility of the local council?

 

[Eeyore]

Yes she is great.
- As long as you dont drive a car and have to rive at 2MPH though the majorty of the city.
Had a lot of residents support (20mph). Also, mostly, supported by opposition parties with ammendments

- As long as you dont mind the billion and one speed bumps
Been in the area long before the Greens
- As long as you are one of the 3 people a day that use the multi million pund bike lanes and not oen of the tens of thousands sitting in cars where they nicked one of more of the car lanes to create these 'green bike lanes'
They weren't introduced by the Green Party...
- As long as you dont mind waititn and the hundreds of new trafic lights designed to ruin the traffic flow
Do they ?
- As long as you dont mind the recylcing being strewn all over the sreets as they can't get it right
Greens don't run the council anymore- suggest you speak to Mr Morgan
-As long as you dont mind looking out to sea and seeing the monstrosities that are going up and ruining our views
Again, what has that got to do with Caroline Lucas ?
-As long as you dont mind the floods of beggars and homeloess whihc are welcomed with open arms
Were the other parties sending them away again ? You don't like homeless people ?
-As long as you are not one of the people who have to pay for the above
Green voters don't pay for any of the above ?

Need I go on?

No, just need to have a bit more factual analysis.

Charming lady but detestable policies.

Each to their own.

 

[pastafarian]

The Greens are bloody bonkers.
Quite often on NSC ive seen green supporters say their policies are mental but Caroline Lucas is a good egg and a great representative of her constituents.

Whatever you think of her or the greens you have to respect that view and give it credence considering the voters keep voting for her.
Bit like Skinner, completely out there on the fringes but no one would deny he is an excellent MP puts in more hours than anyone else in the house and still finds time to run his surgeries. Could do with more like that.
