Apparently you’re not allowed to use food banks or have a mobile contract in Tamworth. They don’t want your vote, they just want you to stop dragging the area down as it’s for nice middle class people

    It’s funny, people keep spelling cunt the old English way with like this “tory”

    In the age old tradition of my friends from Liverpool; Fuck the tories.

    The only thing a Tory cares about is lining theirs and there rich friends pockets.

        Being a Celt and living in the south has been…interesting. Time for everyone to wake up and realise what these cunts are really about.

        I’ll join in a chorus!

    I don’t think he realises that having a phone is vital and TVs aren’t a massive luxury nowadays.

      Oh he probably does…

      Desperation is incredibly useful to anyone interested in exploiting others.

    American here - I expect it’s the same there, where if you’d like to get a new job, or keep a job, a phone is vital. Google Voice is lovely and all, but… It doesn’t actually connect the call to me, and that’s a problem when boss/hiring manager is calling. Or when your kids’ school is calling. Or a doctor. Or… Yeah.

    What a cunt.

      Google Voice isn’t available in the UK. I tried installing it the other day.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Andrew Cooper reportedly shared a post on Facebook arguing that people should only seek help if they give up basics like TV and mobile phone contracts.

    The Tory hopeful is seeking to replace former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher as MP for the Midlands seat in this Thursday’s contest – one of two crucial by-elections for Rishi Sunak.

    A screenshot of the post – first reported by the Mirror – was later shared on the local Facebook page Spotted Tamworth alongside an anonymous message reading: “Lovely potential MP!!

    Grilled on the social media post, Treasury minister Andrew Griffith praised Mr Cooper as a “fantastic” candidate – but did not dispute the veracity of the Facebook message.

    Labour is hoping to flip Tory majorities in both Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire in by-elections on Thursday which were sparked by the resignations of Mr Pincher and former culture secretary Nadine Dorries, respectively.

    Mr Pincher, who represented the Staffordshire seat since 2010, stood down after being found to have drunkenly groped two men in an “egregious case of sexual misconduct” at London’s exclusive Carlton Club last year.

    By the way, he lost, turning a safe 20,000 majority into a 1,300 win for labour.
