[Brighton] Two Brighton & Hove Labour Cllrs Expelled!

[Guinness Boy]

Ivan is @Steve Foster.

Strictly speaking he’s him, @Bognor Seagull and @This is me

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Sorry, I’m not explaining myself at all well. Is Steve Forster another incarnation of the bloke who stormed off here and demanded all his posts be deleted so as not to embarrass him in his public life?

Obviously don’t answer if you don’t want to broach the topic.

Ah. I understand now. No, that was someone else.

That was HB&B. They are two different people.

 

[The Clamp]

What a silly man.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Sorry. No, this Ivan character.

You may be thinking of the last prospective Conservative councillor who wanted to take NSC to court if all posts he made weren't deleted.

This Ivan character was made to stand down as a candidate for posting Islamophobic, anti-disabled 'jokes' on Facebook. He was then allowed to stand again by the local Conservative party and, subsequently, elected (I have no f***ing idea how )

He has, amongst other things, had a whole thread on why he was leaving deleted from NSC (not sure why) and has accused NSC of supporting Anti-Semitism, on both the deleted leaving thread and the Argus comments. Oh and offered to repeat the best of his 'jokes' to a mod on NSC.

Obviously, I can only go on what I've seen posted on NSC, but if any of the above is wrong, I'm sure @Bozza or one of the mods can correct me

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

So true. I do wonder why some get involved. Given you-know-who's behaviour, throwing his weight around, the way he frequently makes reference to being a councillor etc, I can only assume it's more for his own ego than the benefit of the people.

Self interest typically, which is unfortunate.

Now, let’s assume the allegations as to where these two councillors live contrary to what they have advised is true, what possible plausible reason would they do this? I’m struggling to find anything that benefits the constituents

Well, that all sounds lovely.

I don't do the score predictor thread. I don't recall seeing anything from those other two - do they post on other threads?

Thanks. Very useful information for those of us who actually have this horrendous little Islamophobic, anti disabled coward 'representing' us

 

[Steve Foster]

You think we’re not accused of this already?

(I know the answer to that question).

@Steve Foster, you seem to have disappeared again, after your scurrilous comments about Les Hamilton. What a thoroughly unpleasant individual you are.

Weird comment. Cllr Theobald (Conservative) & I were the only two councillors in the City to complement Les Hamilton on Brighton & Hove News. Not one Labour councillor! There was a response on X but very sad that none of the Labour lot could say some nice words after 50+ years of service

Are you ok? Not very much of what you are saying is correct.

 

[The Clamp]

Are you ok? Not very much of what you are saying is correct.

Which bits are correct?

 

[Steve Foster]

Which bits are correct?

Feel free to pop down to our next Politics in the Pub & we can discuss to your hearts content - but not on this forum

I'll make it very easy for you to reply

1/ Did you have to stand down as a prospective councillor for telling Islamophobic and anti-disabled jokes ?
2/ Was there a whole thread on NSC about why you were leaving NSC which has now been deleted ?
3/ Did you accuse NSC, on the Evening Argus website of being Anti-Semitic ?
4/ Did you offer to tell @Guinness Boy your 'best jokes' ?

A simple yes or no for each numbered point will suffice because we wouldn't want a lot of whataboutism would we

And, for a bonus point

Cllr Les Hamilton stepped down abruptly

What did you mean by this

Will you be doing your racist joke routine?

Sausage.

Only a few days previously we were on the same committee that consists of three councillors & there wasn’t a whiff of a reason of stepping down. Very sad. And very sad that Labour councillor’s have kept shtum.

Perhaps they don’t regard his retirement as a vehicle for point scoring.

Perhaps he asked them to not say anything.

Perhaps he didn’t want to tell you anything about it.

Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

If anyone wants to follow me on Cllr Ivan Lyons Facebook feel free to. I think that’s the best place for everything political as I will be liaising with real people with real names

I don’t do Facebook.

Shame.

Oh well.
