Happ Hazzard Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Neither the Tories or the Liberals have been in power in Rotherham. What have Labour done for the town in all the time they've been in power? Kept people poor and reliant on benefits? No different to Liverpool, Glasgow or any other Labour stronghold.

Surely the reliance on benefits is a consequence of national government policy,or do you expect Rotherham to go for UDI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't see most other towns with the same reliance on benefits that Rotherham has. The council is a shambles. The town is falling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 once again...you pin the tail on a pig..... Do Rvrum Labour voters vote with their eyes closed And if you pin a blue rosette on a donkey down sarf or even in SW Sheffield it will win. I really don't see what point you're trying to make.

Happ Hazzard Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Most places that are Tory strongholds are nice, affluent places, so you can understand people voting for more of the same. Why do people vote when all they do is keep people poor and dependent on benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 And if you pin a blue rosette on a donkey down sarf or even in SW Sheffield it will win. I really don't see what point you're trying to make. I thought there were no Tory councillors or MPs in any part of Sheffield. As for down sarf, Labour won Croydon North last night. I really don't see what point you're trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
