Gorton and Denton

[SPLINE]

Wetherspoons ...Seems like the good folk of G&D have higher standards.

This is the laziest cliche possible, and obviously from someone who had not heard of the area until a few weeks ago. Nobody in Gorton or Denton uses the phrase "Gorton and Denton", they are two separate, different and distinct places, the two don't mix, they are chalk and cheese. One is Manchester, the other Tameside. The new constituency is a gerrymander, a collection of highly populated wards bolted on to an area with a lower population for politcal gain. The Wetherspoons (miles from Denton) was closed due to violence; the Wetherspoons company had misunderstood the nature of the area... it was Spoons that rejected Longsight, not the other way round.

Poor Splineless can't get over it: the Greens whupped their ass!

Yes, illegally.

 

[morqthana]

No, as you're not worth it.

No, because you can't.

What you wrote was false.

Again.

It happened, obviously.

What you wrote was false.

Obviously.

 

[morqthana]

How many times will you right-wingers make claims then flatly refuse to present any evidence.

Forever.

 

[morqthana]

There's refusing and there's just not caring.

Yup.

There's just not caring if what you say is true or not.

 

[morqthana]

Yes, illegally.

Prove that, please.

Yes, illegally.

Have many friends who grew up in Longsight, the area is beyond recognition today.

The Green Party video I saw had a voiceover in Urdu and some squiggles on the screen that I assume were Urdu subtitles. Not a trace of the main language of this country anywhere.

Only racists object to things like that.

Plus it was all lies.

How would you know it was all lies when you couldn't understand a word of it?

@King Billy

The Urdu version of the Green Party's campaign broadcast for the Gorton and Denton by-election (February 2026) differed from standard English-language materials by focusing heavily on specific foreign policy issues and international leaders to appeal to the local Muslim and Pakistani-heritage community.

Key differences included:

Specific Visual Imagery: The Urdu video featured footage of

Keir Starmer shaking hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (who is unpopular among many in the Pakistani community) and David Lammy shaking hands with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

These images were used to argue that mainstream politicians "aren’t working for us".

Targeted Messaging on Gaza: Unlike general English broadcasts that might cover a wide range of Green policies (like climate or rail), the Urdu materials explicitly called on voters to "punish Labour for Gaza".

Direct Attacks on Reform UK: The broadcast linked Reform UK's candidate and leadership to Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and footage of ICE deportation raids in the United States. One segment even superimposed a Nazi salute over images of Bannon.

None of that counts as making CONFLICTING promises to different supporters.

It was, I did see a version with english subtitles that had been added by someone else.

It was all about how the Greens would specifically benefit Muslims, definitely not for consumption of their English-speaking voters.

They can say one thing in English and something completely different in Urdu, make different and sometimes conflicting promises to different supporters.

They're a scam party, they'll promise anyone whatever they want to hear just to get into power.

Spline - don't post a photo of Tony Blair.

Post proof of your assertion that the Green Party won the Gorton and Denton by-election illegally.

 

[King Billy]

There's refusing and there's just not caring.

But you flatly refused, with a ridiculous explanation.

No, as you're not worth it.

Someone could say the sky's blue and you or one of your other IDs would demand evidence as proof.

Resort to the absurd.

Obviously I'm not going to go hunting for evidence of the bleeding obvious

If it's obvious to you with your tinted spec's, it may not be obvious, or even real for anyone else. And with your flat refusal to present the slightest bit of evidence your opinions are highly suspect.

 

[King Billy]

Yes, illegally.

According to Farage.
Reform have their own illegality to answer for:

Reform UK sent a letter designed to look like a handwritten note from a "concerned neighbor" during the Gorton and Denton by-election campaign, which failed to include the mandatory, legally required imprint. The letter, which aimed to mimic local constituent correspondence, is under investigation following this breach of election rules.

The same is true of most places around the world, not just in UK,

Spline - don't post a photo of Tony Blair.

He thought it was a squirrel.

Deny everything, nothing to see here, move on.

Whatever. This freak by-election result definitely wasn't a groundswell of anything, it was just a flare-up during the dying embers of the whole lefty nonsense.

The "Green" party will continue buttering up the islamists, they'll probably get a few more MPs but it will definitely all blow up at some point, simply because islamists can't possibly align with socialists on almost anything. In fact islamists don't align with anyone else on anything, a few aircraft carriers full of bombs are currently showing the world what civilised nations think of them. Thankfully there aren't enough islamists to gain any meaningful power without the lefty halfwits who think they're a deserving cause, so they'll continue to remain a contained threat. They'll face far more restrictions after the next election, e.g. sharia courts, sticking bags over women's heads etc.
