Mick's local election's reflection
19 May 2011 by fans64Why is this man allowed to be in politics,he is not in it for the good of the people of North Lincolnshire ,he is in it for the Labour Party only. In his reflections I have not seen one promise to work for the good of Scunthorpe just a promise to oppose the Tories in every way he can.
If all this man wants to do is be a mouth piece for Labour and just spew anti Tory rhetoric then he should be a paid Labour activist from Labour party funds not a Councillor for North Lincolnshire,this sort of politics makes me seethe.Mick work for North Lincolnshire. ,not the party ,or stand down from the council.
It's not abut who's n charge but what they actually do,it's no wonder Scunthorpe is a laughing stock when all of our local politicians are only interested in points scoring and not serving the community

That's just abuse Bill.Mick and many others on our council still think the electorate only buy the paper that spews their doctrine and despite embracing the internet they still believe that people only have the capacity to only see their one sided view of life,they can't understand that it's not the Mirror and The Telegraph any more, we have a whole world of information at our fingertips and we can see through party political biased spin .They are a dying breed who have left Britain a husk , like the dinosaurs they will die out and a new breed of real thinkers will take their places
Fansy, I totally agree and I am with you all the way. Except perhaps for your 1st and final points.
In relation to your 1st and valid point. Having tried the honourable and democratic approach of constructive discussion, challenges, petitions, complaints; negotiation and compromise to no avail. And given the proven "political insincerity, lack of calibre and sense of selfless democracy" of many with N Lincs local govenment. I choose not to waste any more of my time or values on these people. Besides time that some of them had a taste of their own medicine.
I am not convinced by your very final point. The N Lincs electorate had its ideal opportunity on May 5 to elect some credible independant candidates and hopefully the beginnings of a new breeed of real political thinkers. Instead I suspect that N Lincs elected for another cycle of the same old, same old!!
Just back from holiday, so those of you who have direct messaged me, no conspiracy, I was just on holiday.
Just want to remind members about the rules:

To date all members have used common sense with the posts, and as long as this continues, the facility for members of the public to post on the site will remain. Informed discussion is always welcomed, but VisitScunthorpe.Com will not be used as a platform for any form of hate politics or the victimisation of groups or individuals."

For balance, here's a link to the article which Fans is referring to in his original post, in the interest of maintaining as diverse local opinion as possible.

Paul, So following on from recent events and your recent allegation, communicated to NLC Labour councillor Andrea Davison. Do I assume that you won't take kindly to an article perhaps along the lines of "Corruption in the politics of Scunthorpe - does it reach beyond Moreley?"
Or something to that effect!!
Bill,
If you have an article which is a statement of fact and is not a personal attack on an individual then please feel free to share.
It would be good to see some original work from you as opposed to just comments on other's work, like many I do sometimes struggle to follow your statements and feel that you leave a lot "unsaid".
You'll recall that on many occasions in the past I've encouraged you to explain further what you mean with a lot of your references.
Just make sure you follow the site guidelines and understand the disclaimer at the bottom of the page before your press the post button.
