Conservative Party Conference

[AtW]

Oh, so they are holding it locally…

[vetran]

According to one young Conservative the conference is being held in a dump...

Well get into government and change it.

These youngsters have no get up and go!

A leading figure from the youth wing of the Conservative party has been told to leave Birmingham by the Tory mayor of the West Midlands for describing the city as a “dump”.
In a public rebuke, Andy Street told Daniel Grainger, the chair of Young Conservative Network (YCN), to leave Birmingham – and to “take anyone with the same views with you”.

It came after Grainger insulted the city, which is hosting this week’s Conservative party conference, on Twitter, writing in a now deleted post: “Birmingham is a dump.”

Has the Mayor seen Walsall? I love these people who think telling the truth is offensive.

I really don't get you lot. We finally got tax cuts! after years of being squeezed budget after budget with handouts to "less fortunate". Well how that ended? 0 growth for a damn decade

Interesting to see that you fall for government propaganda. This issue is not handouts to the "less fortunate", it's handouts of billions of pounds to Tory procurement companies who then go into liquidation. The Tories are corrupt on a mega scale but point the finger at the poor.

Citation required. Preferably one that separates greedy or plain stupid career politicians with no business experience from Tory policy. We have far too many of them across all parties: Labour would have been no different if they had the purse strings.

As for propaganda, attracting the best to the country - especially into banking, our biggest revenue earner - is not a stupid idea, since it will kill off the predations of the German and French exchanges who are still stuck with bonus caps. And attracting the kind of people that create the wealth is hardly a bad idea.

You could also look at how much money is being spent on supporting "the poor" - which you appear to think is anyone on less than about £50k a year.

By all means cavil about the long term cost of all this, which is scary, but you also need to be a bit more selective in your quoting of "propaganda".

If your concerned about the banking industry then it was rather foolish to vote for Brexit and lose banking jobs to the EU.

Since this is general, you're talking childish bollocks.

HTH...

Whataboutory.. these Tories will be going nowhere near Walsall unless they get lost on spaghetti junction.

Why not pick somewhere else a similar distance to Brum centre like Solihull or Sutton Coldfield?

Watching an interview with our glorious leader on the BBC.

She has just thrown Kami Kwasi under a bus.
