Yep.

To be fair, there's so much disinformation on his Twitter timeline it'll be hard for him to keep up with what's been the subject of legal action and what's just spurious allegations.

has he told us what name he tweets under?

Deary me, I suspect this is very much the kind of post Bozza had in mind when he talked of anti social elements on the board.

And for those of you who don't frequent the pit, where Baker Lite spends most of his days, and you're wondering what the hell he's on about, he is in the habit of deliberately posting doctored, racist videos. He then accuses others of his own faults, see above.

Here's a description of the post he made (the only time I have ever reported a post in 20 years of using NSC), a description he seems very keen to ignore despite asking me himself to explain. That's because there is nothing to dispute in my post.
i'm not sure why you are so put out by it .....you need to be like me and ignore / rise above it .....put on some deep house , skin up and blurt out.:wink:

Worthing
Loughton could be in trouble in the next GE - Labour has been catching up in his constituency.

Maybe Bottomley too - if Lab, Lib and Greens could work together

What a shift within just a few years

I seem to recall that the 2017 election they got within 2,000 votes, slipped a bit in the 2019 to 5,000.

But, that is still a huge shift from the 20,000 plus that it used to be.

The site owner does not want any more trolling on NSC, particulary the nasty type, and the moderators have acted swiftly. :bowdown:

Back in the day, before people took more care of such things, the streets of the UK were awash with dog shit. People accepted it, and you could indeed try to ignore it, but it is now so much better without it :shrug:

:wink: :thumbsup:

Bloody Worthing!
Fingers crossed, street party a go-go potential.

TBH Labour need to promote a candidate to win the seat and they can do it, not just a labour party die hard like last time. Its getting the apathetic engaged that will make the difference. Whilst it should make a difference, someone genuinely local would help.

Good point. Could do a lot worse than (Dr.) Beccy Cooper: leader of the Labour group on Worthing Council, a WSCC councillor and also highly regarded specialist in public health.

Good lord, I can't imagine what his *actual* timeline looks like. The links he posts and the comments below are bad enough.

Pass it over here then sydney :wink:

But really, I'm not. Me and you have crossed swords on a fair few occasions, I don't bring that up regularly do I? BL is a proper c*** though, so at times, when I see him spouting off, I remind him of his past 'work' on here. That's all.

A lot of very traditional tory areas have seen a bit of a shift in demographics recently, mostly with young families moving out of cities into nearby towns due to affordability

could lead to some interesting elections results

That is fantastic news, let’s hope Labour can repeat this success in the Brighton & Hove Local Election and gain overall control of the council here.

Let’s hope not . Labour councillors are more incompetent than Tory ones

What a vile contribution. Even more so when you acquaint yourself with the circumstances under which the election took place: the charming Conservative incumbent, Councillor Wills, standing down after his alleged association with a (very, very) far right ('white genocide' conspiracy theorists) group. Is this the local politics you really want to see? I'm sure you don't..

Maybe worth doing a little bit of research before posting such incendiary contributions?

Wow. I didn't know about this. If this turns out to be true, certainly sounds like it is, that's shocking.

Good to see the tide may be turning. Political preferences aside, nobody likes liars and nobody likes parties on the take. That’s not to accuse any individual in Worthing or elsewhere but the scales are falling from the eyes. This is a positive development.
